Re: Gift ideas

It arrived today!

Totally satisfied, colors I've chosen fit perfectly (two tones).
I look forward to have a good ride with Big Brother, but this won't happen until next spring (absolutely no chance that I put him on our salted winter roads).

Nicknamed «Big Brother 1984», due to its soooo-looong shape & nod to George Orwell's 1984 famous novel.

Cool! Looks good!

Glad to hear you’re not going on salted roads.

As I said earlier in this thread, I really like my Classic Console. Prior to getting it, I was entertaining the idea of replacing the bench with buckets and a console for storage and a cup holder. That console saved me some a lot of money.

Guess you fellas with sticks have to go with the shorter version.

Re: Gift ideas

You bet!
It is a chance that Classic Consoles offers the "Shorty" version, otherwise the «multiple sticks» commands would be continuously conflicting.
Just ask the third guy occasionally sitting on center bench, not very funny for him

I’ve never had a 3rd person in Big Blue, which is why I’m happy with the bucket seats - and the massive console.

Don’t get me wrong, the Classic Consoles unit is far, far better than nothing. You are going to love it.

Which blue did you go with? I see there are 4 or 5 options...

1985.5 F-150 XL Explorer standard cab 5.0 EFI AOD 4x4
Daily Driver. We call her Eunice the Ute.

1982 Bronco XLT Lariat 351W AOD 4x4
Code name Esperanza, or Espy to her friends. Please see my Project thread for the blow by blow.

1984 F-350 XL Centurion crew cab 460 T19 4x4
"Eylza Dual-little"

I know that question wasn't to me, but I went with 208 - Madrid. The blue I wanted wasn't available at the time, but this one worked out well.

Re: Gift ideas

How does that blue compare to the Ford blues over the years?

I am thinking of one for Elyza.

Well, there were several blues. The 1984 interior color was called "Dark Blue", and the '85/86 color is "Regatta Blue". And I can't tell you what the difference is.
