@bronco2fan I'll let Andy have the final word but that does not look like the 2150 I used. There's an awful lot of electronics on that one. Perhaps you can strip off some/all of those things (perhaps not). My carb didn't have the mechanism to the right of the fuel filter (and below the bowl...
I know this reply is 3 months late but I figure someone else might be able to benefit from my experience.
I swapped in a slider over the summer (of 2023). I used 3/8" butyl tape (from Amazon). I also chose a weekend where the temps were north of 90* (so that the tape would be super-sticky, flow...
I will have a white one available soon. It has some rust in the lower seam, passenger side. It's pretty heavy (even gutted) so I would guess shipping would be expensive. LMK.
I see them on FB Marketplace and I live in the NW Chicago 'burbs. TBH, I haven't seen any recently but they do pop up from time-to-time. Chicago is a little closer than Flint. So, if you're considering a drive east, you may want to keep an eye on Marketplace for northern Illinois.
Is Chicago too far?
I have a set of these that need to be re-conditioned (these are not mine, just a rando eBay pic).
The tires are shot but still hold air except for one wheel, I yanked the valve stem out because I was trying to strip the clearcoat. I have lug nuts and center caps...
Hey TGR,
Could you post a picture of the headlight retainer clips/brackets? I think I know what you're referring to but I want to be sure they're the same for my '11 RCSB XL.
(PM sent as well)
Thanks!
@Lefty Boy, that looks really nice. My truck didn't have such conscientious previous owners (it's an '11 RCSB XL with few/no options - a basic work truck). However, I did have the underside of our '17 Expedition done with Fluid Film. That's done a great job of keeping corrosion at bay. My...
@Lefty I appreciate that level of detail but the truck isn't worth the effort (I guess I wasn't clear enough describing the current state). It's in good condition but it has some minor dents dings. The tailgate I bought is that yellow/orange color and is in nice enough condition that a simple...
@Angry Possum I'm in a similar situation; I found a nice tailgate but it needs to be painted. My '11 RCSB was a work truck and, while decent, isn't in the best condition, body-wise. So, I was going to tackle the paint job myself.
My question: how were you going to prep/scuff the old paint on...
It's a shame you're not closer to Chicago-land. I see them often on FB Marketplace and they appear to be in good shape with reasonable prices. A decent selection of colors, too. Oh well...
