Bumpside-era only.

ahh thanks.

its just a matter of time before someone decodes that part number *cough*hawkard*cough*

i think that decoding the part number is a crime and should be illegal though

im going to say it is a removable service panel for one of those compressor deals that camper specials had or something. totally random guess

I'll give another hint tomorrow, unless someone gets it by then.

Before I posted this picture, I almost cropped out the piece on the left with the PN, but decided to leave it, in case anyone wanted to let their fingers do the walking.

Well, it appears as if this one finally has you all stumped!

OK, here's a hint:

It's only for the bumpside trucks.

Is it some kind of body patch panel??

Post by **FORDification** » Fri Sep 12, 2008 5:35 pm

It's gettin' warm in here.

By it's shape, it appears to be a bump patch...

Not sure if it is for a specific place on the bump or not..
It looks to be about the same size as the cut out for rear bed side lights on '70-'72's...
Since Keith highlighted the word Bump I'm stickin' with bump patch.
That's my final answer

BINGO! We have a winner!

Yes, that is exactly what it is.

When the '70 model trucks came along with the rear-mounted bed lights, Ford ceased maintaining an inventory of the quarterpanel extensions for the '67-'69 trucks. Instead, they simply kept the '70-'72 extension in stock, as well as the above-pictured patch, which would've been used to convert the '70-'72 quarterpanel extension to the '67-'69 style...

In other words, to convert THIS.........................................to this:

Looks to be the same size as the lights on 70-72 bed side lights

That is my guess some kind of deletion plate for those

Well I guess I was a couple seconds to late on writing my answer...

I didn't look at the whole post on this one, but good Job Kapt, that will teach me to hesitate

I went and looked at the beds first to make sure I had my years. But you would have still got me by about 15 minutes, but I actually new one
