  1. That is a sweet deal on the radio brushed aluminum bezel. The truck I ended up must have own by 16 year olds as they butchered everything.
    No problem. Go online to Bothers and order, came in 3 days. Oh no😮! No screws or template as customer service reminded me, I forgot this. No problem, even though it comes from an outside (3rd party) they where willing to send an RMA for return with pre-paid postage, cool. But instead, I got a small package with a bent radio / stereo (Single DIN is 7" X 4") new brushed aluminum cover. Problem is it's bent, no hard ware or little bolts and still no template. I will just buy the bolts and washer, make a template and stop the madness or a "He said-She said) comedy that ends up with someone in cuffs. Sad, but true. Now Holley owns 80 companies and moving Comp Cams, I don't want anymore 1-800 calls. True, but the bigger the company, I have found, the "Left Hand, has no clue what the Right hand is Doing."
    So, wrap. Hope your experience is way less crazy than mine.
    P. S. Dear Holley, you have nice people, many good products, but do not try to contact me. ASE Master since 1978, +6 years prior, taught at UTI the original Tech School, 7+ years on contract W/Raytheon for GM. Holding technical service seminars for 4hrs, in 7 states, 2 day classes in 13 tech colleges while handling alleged defects in 5 warehouses distributors manually. After averaging 234 days per year in hotels, I don't know the family I live with, plus the dogs quit bitting the stranger coming home from God knows where, late Friday nights as they have passed.
    God bless the company that wins, but no one goes to the graveyard with 14 U-Haul trucks at the rear. Relatives you have never seen come to take #3 tool box of 4 total. Don't ever take this job as your phone rings while in the middle of a river going 40MPH on your boat, or Motorhome in AZ, or your wife's sisters house while you talk shop with the husband! Yep, long comment, but that's how I roll!

  2. I would never do anything like this to my all original 1954 F 100. Only has 12500 miles on it. Flat head 292 ci, three on the tree. And is spotless.

  3. The Ecoboost V6 is a proven and rather incredible engine. You can get 600HP out of a stock engine with stock reliability in a relatively small package while also having a good sounding, smooth running, and lightweight package which helps handling.
