Hmmmm, those are on their way to Oklahoma.  You saved more of my money.  Thanks!  

[1986F150Six]

Good news! You are welcome. Maybe you can "buy" me a cup of coffee, sometime?

[Gary Lewis]

Happy to do so!  If you come here now we have Verona, Italian, and French.  But perhaps we can stop at your place some time and take you out?  (But we've discovered that it is less expensive and a lot faster to fly to Florida and rent a car there if needed.)

Maybe so, but you miss seeing another part of the country!

Did Uhaul add more stuff to their Ebay store? They were getting a little low on E0TZ things, I might have to check back in and see what they have.

Well, I got the door handle boots just now.  They weren't quite what I expected, and here's the email I just sent to U-TechCenter:

I just got the door handle boots - all 9 of them.  There were only supposed to be 2.  What do we do?

[FuzzFace2]

Send 2 to me
You are a good man Gary not many would do that.

On some smaller items Ford sold them that way.
Most of the time small items pack of 10, I would ask where the 10th is .

[Gary Lewis]

Dave - If I get to keep them I'll send 2 to you.  I'll let you know what they say.

These look different than those I've seen. Mine press through from the back and a grommet type lip holds them in place. Year thing?

[Gary Lewis]

These are what I expected, and what I remember them looking like as well.  However, these are the E0 versions, meaning 1980 ones, and there were later ones that might have looked different.  This is from the our page on them.  I don't know the difference between the -A and -B ones, but both were black.

Huh, never noticed that my 80 had that style (or that there were two styles).

What is left of the 'behind panel' style in my 80:


What is left of the 'thru panel' style in my 85:

[salans7]

These were one of those 1980-early 82 things because the 1982 door panels I pulled for my F150 had the later grommet style boots.

[Gary Lewis]

Interesting!  Dad's truck uses the early style, but I guess Big Blue uses the grommet.  I'll have to look.
