Thanks!
Its definitely getting more difficult keeping this thing looking good. 20 years of Chicago winters are taking it's toll. I'm going to need to start working on the body rust that keeps creeping up on me.
R12 was great but is now phased out. Which is why it is so expensive. R134a does not work quite as efficiently but was believed to be more 'environmentally friendly'. However, it too will be phased out by 2020.
This thing is starting to look really good. Can't wait to see the headlight/grille swap. Someday I hope to find one of these, for some reason this gen Ford is my favorite truck out there...... maybe I shouldn't admit that around these parts......
