My project currently is to completely restore the interior and add a headliner the factory way with all the headliner trim. Would the screws be black or chrome (bare metal)?

Need to replace my radiator, 1983 5.0L V8. Looking for something affordable but solid. What are the best options?

Hi, I've been looking at trucks and I'm considering this one, I am handy with a welder and know general mechanical knowledge. Basically, I'm considering this one but would like to get a second opinion. I think I could talk him down to 3800, also Michigan prices are very high compared to average.

Hey guys, I’m working on my 1986 Ford F150 (manual transmission) and the rear driver-side wheel is completely locked up and won't rotate. The parking brake pedal in the cab is released. I crawled underneath and took a picture of the backing plate area (attached). As you can see, the parking brake cable is completely disconnected/dangling free and isn't holding any tension from the outside, so the issue is entirely internal. The truck has solid steel rims on it, so I can't access or hit the front flat face of the brake drum through the wheel holes. What I’ve tried so far: Smacking the heavy outer lip of the drum from the backside with a hammer to shock the rust loose. Gently popping the clutch in Reverse to try and use engine torque to break the rust weld (being careful not to burn the clutch or stall out). The wheel is still frozen solid. Since I don't have a massive selection of tools out here with me, what is my best next move to get this thing rolling so I can move the truck? Should I try prying out the oval adjustment plug and backing off the star wheel, or is there a better trick? Thanks in advance for the help!

‘82 F150 with the 300

Got some dents on the front passenger panel. I've tried pulling the light and putting pressure against the dent but it only affects small parts of the dent. I'm not worried about the paint as I have 1. Already messed it up as seen 2. Plan on getting the truck repainted.

Any suggestions on how to pop this dent out, I would appreciate

So I got a bug up my ass and decided to work on my 86 and make it look respectable. The previous owner rattle canned the exterior and interior. I had the exterior repainted years back at a pay and spray and it looks all worth the $500 I paid so I'll get that handled but the interior is fading and scratched.

Suggestions on interior paint for the trim? I'll just keep it black to make it easier.

So the previous owner did the feedback carb delete. I still have the EGR adapter and think I would like to put it back on as it might seat better than the current random plate I have under the carb.

I know they make a cover for the front of it, but what about plugs for the hoses and additionally, what vacuum hose connects to the EGR vacuum port?

Got her clean sorta but Still have plans exterior and interior and engine upgrades. Not looking for crazy power but more reliability and if I can some pick in the early gears. What would be some upgrades yall recommend to keep this truck on the road and reliable
Last photo is stuff I’ve gotten done so far.
Have sort of a plan for the steering play issue

Hi everyone I made an account just to ask this. so i have a 1981 f150 and the only thing keeping her off the road is the brake lights not working. every other light works head lights turn signals even when i pull the lever to turn on the nighttime running lights the whole tail light goes on just never when it brakes. i've tried switching out the brake light switch thing and it didn't do anything i've checked the fuses all good even replaced them to be safe. anyone have any ideas im not to mechanically inclined this truck was supposed to help me learn lol thanks (pic of my truck for fun lol also any help on finding the parts needed to lower it back to stock height for 4x4 would be greatly appreciated as well)

Only took a new battery, solenoid, fuel filter, fuel tubing, 2 bottles of Royal Purple, and a whole lotta carb cleaner. Idle sounds high, but baby steps here 👍🏼

This bullnose flare side is for sale near me. It’s a 1984 V8, I believe either a 302 or 351 not sure tho. Automatic. Seller says it runs and drives fine, and the frame actually seems like it’s in pretty good shape. asking 7k for it. Not too familiar with the flare sides and if they are sought after or not.

Hi all. I just joined today to ask a pricing question on a potential project. Truck is an 84 F250 4x4 manual with a crate 460 with only a few hundred miles before it was parked in 2016. Body has 47k miles in Arkansas. It was a farm truck but they sold the cows and the owner passed. As far as I know it was running fine when parked. Rust looks surface to me on both body and frame, but I need to really inspect it. What would you offer? Seller is my step-father's aunt so I want to be fare. I'll post pics if I can figure it out.
