New member introduction:=) F250 1984

[Papelione]

Hi Im Christian from Norway, and the proud new owner of a F250 from 1984 2wd. I have been looking for a older truck for a while, as I live in Norway these are not in huge numbers. The bullnoses is for me the icon in these older trucks, I like the square design and "no nonsenses" look of them. Mine was imported from the US in 2014 after spending it´s first years in Utah and later Idaho. It seams pretty original, and in large rust free. Drove it home almost 2000 km, and it behaved nice, small mechanical to fix. Exterior needs som missing trim parts and a loving hand. It´s being put in for the winter, as the winters are pretty harsh here. Having trouble posting a picture, will do that later Anyway here´s a picture, and thank you for accepting in this dedicated forum:=) Best regards Christian

Christian!  Welcome!  Glad you joined and happy to meet you.  

Where in Norway are you?  I was in Stavanger, Eidfjord, and Bergen last year on a cruise.  BEAUTIFUL!!!!

We have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and I'd love to put you on it if I had a town.

And, we need to see some pics!

Hi, glad to meet you to:=) Located in Narvik up north, put me on the map:=) Lokks like picture came through ou

[Rembrant]

Welcome to the forum. Nice truck!

[Gary Lewis]

Wow!  You are a loooooong way NORTH!  But you are now on the map.  

We've talked about taking the In Search Of The Northern Lights cruise some day and it looks like we'd dock there.  Cool!

And, your truck looks great.  What are your plans for it.

[Papelione]

Thank you, do you guys know what the colour/decor is called, haven´t seen others in that style

[Papelione]

Guess the plan is to restore it gently, last owner was a blast-explosives guy who had it as a daily, his been nice to it, but small things needs tinkering. As mechanics is sound I want to get know first and read more on this forum to get my bearings right:=).

Next year polishing, fix the trimming, small electric issues, drive it, go camping with family, enjoy it.
Hoping I can keep it for many years.

Maybe bigger things down the line.

If you come Narvik, let me know and we can take a coffee and check out northern lights:=)

[Gary Lewis]

If I get there I'll let you know well beforehand and maybe we can meet.

As for the color, if the certification label is still on the driver's door jamb you should be able to decode it here: Documentation/Specifications/Certification Label.  Use the interactive one at the bottom of the page and click on the blue boxes to be taken to info on each of the codes.

[Papelione]

Thx, Is Ebay the go to place, for trim and mouldings?

Been looking at LMC and Dennis Carpenter, bur the pieces im missing isn´t there.

[Gary Lewis]

On trim it is wherever you find it.  But, guys on here frequently find things.  So go here and tell us which pieces you are looking for: Documentation/Exterior/Exterior Trim & Moulding.

[Papelione]

OK :=)

Looking for these two

LH of this one



and RH EOTZ 9929038-A or 29038 in the picture



/Christian

[Gary Lewis]

I think you have the wrong part picked, for two reasons.  First, because you got the number from a Regular Cab.  Second because you picked a part for a 1980/81 truck and yours is an '84 - and the rubber trim is different.

Instead, you needed to click the Supercab tab and then scroll down to the 1981/86 chart, as shown below.  And the right-hand part number is E1TZ 1329314-AA if I read it correctly.

Welcome!

Welcome Christian!  

That's a very nice truck you've got.
The side stripes look like a dealer option package.
It was quite common to have regional editions like "Baja" or "High Country" or "Longhorn"
On top of factory trim packages like XLT or Lariat.

Norway seems a wonderful country.
Although I've never been, everyone I've met from there were very nice.

[Papelione]

Thank you so much for Your kind Words:=)
Do really appreciate it.

Gary Your problably right, dont you think that the chrome part EOTZ-9929038-A is the same though?

Baja, high country and longhorn sounds Nice, was there a decal for that, I Guess mine is a XLT.

[ArdWrknTrk]

There is a thread discussing the "Explorer" options, (A, B, C & D) which could be factory installed on XL & XLT order trucks.

The various dealer applied graphics were usually done to 'spice up' otherwise bland inventory, or to set one dealer or district's trucks apart.
These were not necessarily above and beyond the XL and XLT option packages.
But often included bolt on 'bling' like wheels & tires, fog or driving lamps and decorative roll bars.

No, those are two very different parts.  E0TZ 9929038-A is for the upper trim on a regular cab and it is only about 2" long.  E1TZ 1329314-AA is the lower trim on a Supercab, which is what you have and this is the part you circled.  And it is much longer.

David - Good job!

Christian - I believe both of these are the right part.  But you need to confirm that before buying.

And here is the driver's side [on the photo he circled the passenger side, but stated he wanted driver's side].
