Bedside Panel Custom Fabrication in 78-79; "...Making New Cargo Trim Panels. I know everyone wants to spruce up those cheap looking pieces of cardboard that Ford calls a trim panel on the sides of the cargo area. This tip is simple but the result is awesome. Take that scratched up piece of cardboard and lay it down on a piece of 1/4" plywood. Use it as a template to leave a nice outline. Hold on your not done yet, you might want to take a marker and mark all the screw holes including the armrest. You can do both pieces on one piece of 4x8 and have enough on the end for the tailgate panel. Cut it out as good as you can and drill out all the holes (before you put the carpet on so they are easy to locate). This is also a good time to cut out any speaker holes you might want. You will find the perfect piece of carpet at www.crutchfield.com for $20 that will cover both panels and the tailgate panel. They carry materials to build speaker boxes. You might need a hand holding the carpet tight on both ends, lay the cut out piece of wood on the carpet in the place you want it. Trim around the wood leaving a couple of inches to work with. Using an ordinary staple gun, work your way around the edges starting with the long straight top edge. As you go around the turns it will want to fold to compensate for the turn. Just let it fold but keep the folds to a minimum. Carefully remove the V-shaped piece, the carpet hides this well so you shouldn't be able to see the seem. Add staples as necessary to hide the seem. Slap it back on your truck and be proud of yourself. Total cost: about $35.00 depending on how much the plywood is were you live..."

Camper Top Trim U Nut Part Numbers & pics; Motormite Part #45411, Dorman Part #701-539; "...know this comes up from time time, especially with summer coming, so I thought I'd share. On my 86 I replaced the stock speednuts with 1/4x20 ones that I got at Home desperate. Well they no longer sell the long style speednuts just the standard POS ones. After a little digging I found that motormite sells the correct long style speednuts (U style) in the stock thread pattern. The ones on the left are the standard size which are too short for the Broncos. The ones on the right are the correct length and thread pattern as stock..."

ColorBond Application in an 86

ColorBond Application in an 86; "...cleaned the entire thing with purple-power twice. Then I lightly wiped it down with acetone. Then, just to make sure the factory paint did not cause a problem I wiped a section down with acetone until the factory coating was removed and it was down to the bare plastic. This is the lighter area in the picture below. Unfortunately this did lighten the texture a little. Took 5 mist coats to cover. The area with the factory paint removed was harder to coat, making me think it was sinking into the plastic, but sat on top of the factory paint everywhere else. Then again it may have just been the fact that that area was lighter. I let the Color Bond cure for 48 hours and then did a scratch test. I can not scratch it off with my fingernail anywhere and it takes a serious effort to scratch it off using a penny..."

Trim Color Code Location, Bronco & Ford; "...Now you may notice the lack of an interior code on the older tags. Some of them do not have that information as there weren't so many different shades of the same color back then, especially on these old pickups. Grey was grey, tan was tan, etc., The only main difference that could potentially be a bit confusing on these older tags is that the code is stamped above the word exterior paint rather than next to it like on the newer ones. This truck has a paint code of 51. Here is an old red tag from an '89, also Canadian. I guess it looks like this is before they got the bright idea to rotate the sticker to fit it in a tight space; Once again I have outlined the paint code in green, and the trim code in red. The paint code here is F1 and the trim is CE..."
