Clay, I have this exact problem. I looked on NPD, couldn't find the kit. Someone posted a link to a company that makes new switches, any idea who they were? Remembering to cancel the signal gets old fast (especially when the arm droops by itself when you hit holes in the road).

Tony, Mac's , LMC and Dennis Carpenter all list turn signal switches for our trucks.Check prices because they vary.

well i am finding more and more PO changes as i tear down, but nothing major.

update-i found alot of surface rust in the door after i took the door panels off. its because there is no fuzzies or rubber to keep the rain out of the door and the truck sat for so long.

here is an inside view of the welded trim holes which i will be drilling out.

carpet which i removed

only found little rust on drivers floor pan

i should have another update at the end of this weekend. we are going to the junkyard to hopefully pick up a bench seat that was there which only had one small tear, but it was green. so i will re-upholster it.

i just did some thanksgiving shopping

and picked up this at the junkyard. it only has one small scuffed up section on the drivers side. Since its not in bad shape, i wont have to tear it apart and refoam it, ill just get a NPD 180$ cover.

wont be put in for a long time, but i cant wait until it does go in

Once again I get no credit. His brother and I pulled this thing and carried it out for him. At least he paid for it. Only $23!!! Score!!!

woohoo
i got a compressor, air nossel, impact gun, air ratchet, and accesories

primairly to take fenders/everything else off the the 69 and to paint the trucks. i havent even gotten a chance to use it yet

. but i will tomorrow. im sure ill find plenty of stuff to take apart.

anyways,
i havent gotten any work done to the 69 this week because im working off the truck every day (perfectly fine with that, its actually fun and interesting and i learn lots of welding/metal stuff).
I talked to the PO's daughter about the paint and stuff and she said she would look for pictures of the truck when they got it. im really looking forward to seeing those pictures! I also found out some history, like the story of how the truck once was stolen and the police then found it.
this weekend i should have a good amount of work done to the truck.
well thats it. i will ask if i can borrow the pictures of the truck when it was new so i can scan them and put them on here so all of you can see. she did confirm the "baby blue" (sky view blue) and white colors but didnt know where they were on the truck.
thats it for now

so ryan did you take the outer door panel off or the inner door panel? if you took off the outer one id like to see how you did it.

1971ford · Post by **1971ford** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 9:40 pm

i took off the one that has the waves on it which the armrest and stuff is on.

what is a inner and a outer door panel?
thanks

fordman · Post by **fordman** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 10:17 pm

that is the inner door panel.you took off then i was thinking of that dent on the passenger door panel. i had thought maybe your dad had gotten a new outer skin for the door and you guys were replacing it. i just wanted to see how someone would do this. i thought it would be interesting to see.

1971ford · Post by **1971ford** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 10:25 pm

oh ok.
it doesnt sound too hard, but seems getting a new door would be easier.

seems like you could just unbolt and take the guts out of the door, grind the outer panel off and weld a new one on. id rather get a new door though.
