All Activity

Got around to doing a few things this week. Painted the dash bezel, added a dash mat, magnetic cell phone holder, cup holder, B pillar lights, dash lights, NOS passenger door handle, more sound deadening and some component speakers. The cab is turning into a nice place to be!

Ok awesome thanks I know there’s been some stuff done to the interior there’s a kraco stereo in it that doesn’t work the headliner is completely gone as well as the dome lights and a plastic seatbelt cover is gone but still pretty good for anything this old I wasn’t in as good of shape when I was 35 😂

OK--I'll get a replacement and give it a shot. Thanks!

Looks like everything is original. Being an XLS, the top trim level for 86, it should have those chrome bumpers and mirrors.

yes.

If the key is hard to turn, is that a symptom of a bad ignition switch? Going to try to confirm tomorrow that there's 12V+ coming into the ignition switch.

Correct. I just looked into this as I am working on an 86 and suspected a bad ignition switch with the lights being stuck on and what not, but I was wrong with that diag, course it is kinda hacked with an alarm system. Anywho yes that number is right and I think I saw three left.

Cam has been degreed and is dead-on.

Thank you.

Hey guys. My older sister passed away the 19th our dad was active on here years ago and passed 6years ago our family has been struggling and been asking for funds for her funeral any help is appreciated. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=214003057547749&id=100068141678343

If it has the cargo light + switch, I'd be definitely interested in it.

Heh, seems like an odd coincidence! @eaglescout526 any way to get a NOS one? I think J3250576 is the correct part no.

Guess what? You have a bad ignition switch!!

Understandable with all the time that’s passed and the change of hands that the company has gone through still a lot more info then I had all I really knew was basics that are easily spotted and that she is pretty much rust free (a definite rarity in Pennsylvanian lol) just one little spot of surface rust by the rear window

Spent the day finishing the rear speaker upgrade and while I was in there figured I would knock out new door seals. Not difficult at all but you do need to remove some panels to help with installation. All and all it wasn’t a bad day! 70 degrees in December is never a bad thing!

I'm on my second set. Not because of failure, but rather, the plastic lenses become like wax paper and the beam intensity degrades.

No problem and as we say, take the build sheet with a grain of salt as some codes were reused and what not.

Awesome thanks for the info it appears that some things were changed like bumpers and mirrors which I was kinda suspecting the mirrors to not be original I’ll have to look at the interior a bit closer I saw no signs of airbags

Just checked, none of those three things work while the ignition is in the on position. The ignition cylinder itself does seem harder to turn that it used to--not sure if that's because it's a new cylinder? I guess that wouldn't really make sense?

This past summer, I got $330 for a long bed single cab ford F150 that we had pulled the transmission and transfer case out of. This is up in Pennsylvania.

So all the Chief Products stuff finally came in. Here are the Rock Sliders installed:- The fit and finish on these is exceptional and they protect the pinch weld and wiring harness. Also got the winch and winch plate. That is the next project. Mounted the Solenoid under the hood. Along with skid plates and front protection Also adding a front camera. With the WK2 you can turn on the cargo camera input and use that for a front camera. You use Jscan ODB software with a security module bypass.
