1969 F250 Camper Special 2WD
What I've learned to date
has a 70 or newer hood, as indicated by the chrome trim on the front. Also has hail damage dings on it.
was originally a 360, but they bored it to the 390 during rebuild.
Some damage to right side front fender, but minor.
Minor surface rust in bed, no major dings.
No dash pad, but honestly, I'm liking the metal dash look better actually, and since you can't seem to get a dash in green, I don't like idea of black dash.
rust around rain gutter area, will be grinding into that area to see how bad it is.
Typical starting point I'm sure, some new parts, some old, some missing
I've been hitting up the supply houses on parts, as well as local junkyard, but have run into a couple small questions to start.
1. Front speaker - what the heck is it supposed to connect to up in the upper dash? I see nothing in there to hold it in. (ordered new speaker and radio as both were missing)
2. Radio - how am I supposed to get it in there? I have the underdash AC that eats up the glovebox/dash space, and there appears to be no way to maneuver that in there without bending stuff. I could bend the ears for the radio back I guess, but I need them, as the radio is one of those that looks like the old one but has cd controls, etc..
3. Seem to have all the pieces to make the horn work, but no power making it up column to where the spring contact touches. Not a huge issue here, this one I can hunt down.
Nothing major to start with, just a quick introduction.
from Massachusetts.
