Good morning gents

 

This month we need a get together....

Today is going to be spent getting motor and transmission in the 79 F250 Explorer...unless something happens in the meantime lol.

 

Lets wait for the end of the month as I plan on having Kermit da ford driving by then

 

Well I'm kind of in favor of that because Bandit will be in the shop the week after next , and not sure how long he will be there...

 

sounds good to me.... i am just sitting here the guy called so i will be loading the impala up and getting my new toy here i n a bit.. then make my way up north to alans to go to the show..

 

Is Alan at his shop right now?

 

Got a question...

My 79 F250 4x4 Explorer now has the F350 rear end (Dana 70) and the F350 rear springs, what else would technically make it a F350? It's going to be my work horse for gravel and stuff I don't want to scratch Bandit when he is painted up.

 

RC, you and Alan should stop by my place on the way home from the fairgrounds. I might have a motor and transmission installed by then!

I was wanting you to take a look at the diesel anyway.

 

Just the front springs I think the frames were the same

 

Happy August 1st. I'm home from vacation, only a few dents on the running boards of the Exploder, but it's no Jeep. We failed to summit Imogene Wednesday. Going to have to get the jeep done and do it next time I go to the San Juans.

 

Does anyone have a pic etc of a 79 400 c6 flywheel? I think mine must be wrong...

 

My 79 F350 had a d60. From what I can tell, springs (although I think mine were the same as the ones on my F250) and axles are the only difference. I've got a set of overloads, but I don't remember if they came off the F350 or one of the F250s.

 

I was going to help but all I have is the pic of a 79 460 flexplate

 

Evening everyone.

I am relatively pleased to announce that (for the moment) everything is now working on the '87. I got the front tank's pump changed out and everything seems to be working properly. Now I need to focus on where a leak in the cab is coming from that keeps soaking the passenger side seatbelt. I suspect the back window so I'll start by changing it out with the one I got last weekend.

 

Have company and the grandson this weekend and we have been to the lake all day....

Thanks for firing up the August thread.
