now for the bad



i am going to see if the t-case can be remounted.
it it can be, it is getting a plow and going to work, otherwise i am taking the dump body off and selling the rest of the truck.

not bad for $500, huh??

 

Good deal. Wish i could find a truck that cheap with a 60 up front...

 

you dirty sumbich. i want a great deal like that.

p.s. mail me a d60 for x-mas please

 

i sold the cab that is on the truck to the guy back in 82. it came off a rear end wreck totaled truck i bought for parts for $300.
sold the cab for $300, D-60 front and rear rears for $500 to someone else, and kept the 400, C-6, and t-case for spare parts.

 

Not a bad setup there snookums. But two things. No 4wd F-350 until 1979. And those front hubs look like d44 hd hubs but i could be wrong. Either way for that price i would have bought it.

 

i never said it was a 71 F-350 4X4 frame meathead.

this mutt was custom built from all kinds of parts over a matter of 3 years..
the only thing bought new was the dump body.

 

So youve got some ghetto 4wd conversion goin on? Pics?

 

now you have something to work on & stay out of trouble.

 

you funny!!!

this makes #4 that needs work.
but rehanging a t-case should be a lot easier than swapping an engine or cab.

 

Nice deal, but what is the third stick by the 4x4 for?

I'm guessing the dump bed maybe?


Unless the T-case is a twin stick..

 

dump lever.

 

Hey cool divorced transfer case LOL!

 

Master Tom, this is an interesting truck that you have there. I do not like the very high sides on the bandstand bed very much, but I am sure you did not buy this truck for looks but rather to do work with it. You are at least going to paint it one solid color, right? I think then it will look good, even with the goofy bed sides. Also, please watch out for these things that stick out of the front wheels where you turn those ***** to make the front axle work in 4x4, it is very easy to destroy them by hitting a tall curb or a big log - in other words the tires will clear the obstacle, but these things may not.

 

I like it, good work truck and it has one of my favorite motors in it.

 

plans for the bed sides are to remove the "bandstand" racks, and fabricate a set of tapered solid sides. about 3 foot in front to 1 1/2 foot in back. then a solid back panel so i can haul stone and dirt.
and it is also getting dual wheels.
so the front locking hubs (those Little sticking out things) will be hidden and protected.

and Danny, i agree about the "divorced" t-case. they took it a little on the extremes with this one.
