If it was closer... My company would buy it in a flash. Been looking for a pickup for local light hauling. Not gonna pay the prices the licensed dealers want. There are always journeymen, and apptentice tradesmen looking for a pickup that runs. The beauty of a 72 is minimal smog crap, simplicity, and easy to swap any driveline component if necessary, to keep it going. It is auto or manual trans.

We'd like a manual. By going to an 80-something we might be able to find a 5 speed. Besides, any pickup would be fairly roomy to swap an OM603 into.


RE: Autolite 2100 Carburetor - 72 Ford F250

I have now isolated my immediate problem to a plastic part of the choke mechanism which has broken off and allows the choke to fall into whatever unregulated position it feels like. So my question now is: anyone know where I can get a replacement for this part? I presume it would not be included in a carb kit.

And why make a part out of plastic knowing that in 40 years it will weaken and break?

In order to show pictures of the broken part, I set up a Craigslist ad with the pics included. I don't expect a response from the ad, its just a way to make the pictures available. Here is the reference:

My spouse would like me to get rid of the truck, which we don't use anymore. Are there individuals out there that still want an old truck with such poor gas mileage, given the direction of gas prices?
