In reference to a different post on badges..it does have the "automatic 4wd" badge on rear panels and glove box instead of the "four wheel drive" badges on the select trac Eagles....the other thing i noticed is it had different bumpers ends...I wonder if that was a 1980 thing or were they a trasplant off a concord?

I cant wait to see it...is that the one with the factory CB?

Does that one have the horizontal slats Tougeagle? I might have to take a drive up there one of these days and grab it...I like those alot more than the egg crate ones.

Yeah, it's metal, horizontal. I've also been considering snatching the transfer case from it as a spare...

Id love to see it....I havent seen one of those factory cb's since I was a kid.

Eventually I hope to either get one of the horizontal slat grills or better yet the cross bar Spirit grill...Id best concentrate my efforts on getting my eagle driveable first though.
