AboutSkip Bollinger Expertise Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you.
I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire.
If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle.
PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you..

Question I need help with my 4 wheel drive system. My truck had a 4 wheel drive selector in it at one time. but the guy I bought it from took it out. It still has the capability to use it. I just would like to know the parts needed to re install that piece. thank you.
Answer Randall,
The parts you require have never been offered in the aftermarket. I'm really not sure what you need but I know anything on the dash of a vehicle is not supplied by aftermarket companies. The only exception may be the 4WD selector switch for selected vehicles. I don't think this is what you are asking for..
The parts you require are OEM (Ford parts only, Original Equipment Manufacturer.) Your truck is 12 years old so you may have to contact a few Ford dealerships to see if any have some old Microfiche or even catalogs.
IF you can come up with the Original Part Numbers, give them to me and I'll run them through my computer network to see if I can find them, brand new Ford. Otherwise, you will be searching the salvage yards to see if you can find what you need. IF you need a list of salvage yards that specialize in Trucks, I may be able to provide that. I don't like selling used parts. You know, the seller says it is "Excellent condition" and when you get it, it looks like trash.
Just keep in touch. My e-mail address is CarPartMan@aol.com. Maybe you can take photos of what you need and, when I have time, take it to my Ford guy. He is over 100 miles away and has no e-mail. This could get expensive IF I have to drive your photos to him. I may be able to fax the photos to him but photos usually don't fax well.
I'm just trying to give you the best and worst possibilities. Please don't get discouraged yet.
Keep in touch...
