Artsgrampatruk Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Hello. I am Art, and I am a grandpa. Thus, artsgrampatruk. I have enjoyed reading many of your posts. So I’m going to join you. I have learned a good bit reading here, and maybe I can contribute some too. I have never joined a forum so bear with me. I do everything from my iPhone. I have a 1984 F150 long box. 300 six c5 auto. 2 wheel drive. I have owned it since 2015, it has been my project truck. Engine is currently at the machine shop getting a .020 overbore. It’s been a great project, got help from the grands (all 5) and I clearcoated their Sigs on the frame. I just finished paint last month, a little color sanding still needs done. I’ll post some pics when I figure out how. 😊 We live in Horse Shoe NC. Put me on the map Mr Gary. Near Hendersonville NC. Also, yesterday I was at Charlie’s scrap yard in Hendersonville. There is a 1985 F150 with a very nice interior. Red. Dash pad slightly faded but no cracks I could see. All pieces were present including headliner. Seat had 2 very small tears. Nice chrome back step bumper. This is a xlt truck. Fat steering wheel with cruise. Nothing that I need but good truck to pick from. Smashed in front. In time I will be hunting some items and also have some items to part with. Just thought I’d get my howdy in first. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Hello, Art! You are now on the map. As for clear-coating your grandkids' names on the frame, I love that idea! I have three g-kids, so that's a good idea. On posting pics, go to Bullnose Forum/Forum FAQ's in the menu and there are instructions on that, as well as many of things - like a signature. Concerning the salvage, you could win a lot of friends by pulling parts out of that truck. Like the A-pillar trim, which I'd be interested in.

They are now 9 and are starting to be very helpful. Love working with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that truck in the yard has its steering column intact, we might need to get to know each other!😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may go over next week. Get my wife to come with. She’s a good help in the jy. Has a good eye for the good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking thru my truck parts I found a red set of A pillar trim. It’s the type that would fit with a headliner. With your permission I can email you a pic. The prefix is E4TB. Even reading faq about picture posting I’m not yet successful. My pics are 5.6 and if I downsize them I’m not able to get it to work. I’m 71 and ignored much of computer learning over the years as I was in the garage playing with my cars. I’m working from my iPhone. If trading works (up or down) I’m looking for a kick down rod for my 300 C5 and also correct trans dipstick for C5. I think the number is M2C166H. I have a C 6 dipstick in it now.
