    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 ?

    454 kickback/dieseling after shutdown?

    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 )

    intake tricks produce horse power

    wiper motors ? good-better- best?

    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

    wiper arms

    has anyone found later style wiper arms that "flip up" & lock up for windshield cleaning, or a way to modify some from another vehicle to fit our Square trucks? i've searched other forums & vendors, but found nothing TIA

    Headers? worth the effort & cost?

    follow-on question: other than feeling a 'power difference" has anyone noted any differences (? improvement) in fuel economy with headers ? (not that it's very relevant in a truck that only ever got 12 mpg anyway)

    Headers? worth the effort & cost?

    thanks - very helpful to see that photo & part number - unfortunately they only fit up thru 1974 - mine is an '84 for we CA folks - whatever we get must be CARB EO approved for '76 & newer - cheapest such on Summit push $700 delivered & only set that might fit are Hedman 66111 so - given...
