    What could this random tube attached to the exhaust be?

    in CA, pre-76 is exempt from smog inspections; just remove it & enjoy the truck ... (unfortunately my 84 is not exempt)

    I guess I give up on the windows

    - since the window motors grd to door, the only hard connection of door to body is thru the hinges or door latch - seems like a good thing to try would be a grd wire twixt the door & body to rule out poor grd thru those aged components ?

    does it come down to normal idle when you get off the pedal? very often - this can be caused by a throttle not closing completely - mine does that sometimes - could be idle arm adjustment; could be cruise arm or some other component is holding it open a bit; i've seen both problems &...

    wiper motor replacement choices

    good info - if i order the Amazon version i can send it back vs other online suppliers - i don't need it immediately since i rarely drive the truck & almost never in rain ... (deliver to home is a factor since i'm 20 miles from town & 40 from city with multi auto stores )

    wiper arms

    not the solution i'm asking for - no evidence in video that those "lock in UP position" as do modern arms - my '84 already has j-hook arms oem; so u guys don't need to buy Ford arms fyi

    Fuel tank question #3 this week!

    i'd guess that "problem" is about the mandated switch from leaded to no-lead fuel & smaller dispenser nozzles; dunno what year that happened but likely it would narrow your replacement searches
