Pulling a cab and swapping engines is VERY time consuming

The dually is coil sprung and 2wd, the frame is different. There is some fab work involved to make it 4wd and accept the leaf springs and the D60.

I'd gladly pay you $50 an hour for that service.
For me it's easier to swap cab's and motor's with the lift and beams in the shop. Last time I did this it was just ex cab rolled in as a 2wd dually pulled motor an trans. pulled trans apart to swap tail shaft's for 4wd installed every thing back in frame an sit the cab down on the 4x4 frame in just over 10 hours of working time. Plus everything was nice and clean with the cab off to wash it new cab bushings. I have to pull the motor anyways to reseal the dipstick. When I rebuilt the motor it started leaking after about 1000 miles
may have over tightened it

Don't know yet. I talked to bill about it and would have to find the adapters for the front as it's the same gears as my dually 4.10s.
Or I'd have to find a SRW bed to keep it single. But it may all change today anyways I went and looked at a 97 f250 short bed 4x4 4 door auto truck yesterday but he won't be home till today to talk price
