My buddy just called me and said a guy he works with has a '94 F350 4x4 with a blown 460 for parts. Here's the thing though, it has the D60 front akle and F350 fender badges, but it is an ext. cab short bed. I may be wrong, but they didn't make an OBS F350 ext. cab short bed that I've ever seen. I told him it was probably a 250 with the D60 swapped in and 350 fender badges. Anyway, he said the body was in real good shape and the guy wants $1600 for the truck. I'm gonna call him and try to do some trading with him, cause I'd like to have the D60 for my ext. short bed! I hope I can get it!

 

Do it! Do it do it!

 

Oh I'm gonna if I can work out a trade. The only thing I have to trade with right now is my 2000 Ranger. I've put a new Jasper engine it about 4000 miles ago, plus a lot of other stuff, and I've got right at $5000 in the Ranger. I just called the guy and he has several trucks and parts. He's got a '95 F150 4x4 that's been hit in the front, but otherwise has a perfect body and a good 302 engine. I'm thinking if he can come up with enough parts or parts trucks for a decent trade, I'll be doing an axle swap real soon!

 

Very nice.....eh,smooth....

 

Yeah, you need another truck, Bill... lol

 

If we work out a deal, it will be another two or three trucks! LOL!! I'm going down there early in the morning and see what he has.

 

If you're really curious about the model / body style confusion, just run the VIN.

 

I'm trying to work a deal on this one.

 

I'm sure they didn't make an F350 ext. cab short bed, but if it's got a good D60 under it, I don't care what it is LOL!! It's supposed to have a good body too. I'll find out in the morning! I won't be able to sleep tonight LOL!!

 

She may be cute but she is going to be pissed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That's you Rich!......that's you all the way buddy! If you get it, and have a flat.........call Glenn! LOL!!

 

Call a crane! LOL

 

Well, I went and looked at the trucks. I checked the vin on the ext. cab short bed truck and it was originally an F150 2wd. The body has been put on a 250 frame and 350 running gear swapped in. I got the numbers off the front diff cover and the D60 is a 88.5 to 91 kingpin axle. The truck has a near perfect body, and a blown 460 and C6 auto trans. He said the engine still turns over that it's not blown, but I'm calling it blown.

The other truck is a '96 F150 4x4 reg. cab long bed with a little front end damage. It is complete minus auto trans and steering column. It has a low mileage 302 in it and again a near perfect body.

He said he would trade both trucks for my Ranger, or the ext. cab short bed with the D60 and some cash for my Ranger. Either way I go, I'm gonna take a big hit on the Ranger, but I knew when I dumped all that money in the Ranger, that I would never be able to get it back out of it, so I was kinda expecting it. I'm gonna do some thinking on it the rest of the day and try to decide what to do. I can tell you this, I would really like to have that D60 LOL!!......and the cash would come in handy right now too!

 

Why wait Bill? You know you're going to get em! Lol

 

..............you sound like my wife! What makes ya'll say that! LOL!!
