Haha yeah with an 8.5 fisher plow she could make some money. Hope its a good deal

 

From the pic you posted I believe it's a conversion. Look through the holes in the wheels for a set of spacers. This is an easy way to tell

 

Will do that thanks

 

not really, it could be a Dana 60 with factory dually hubs bolted on it. i have done just that on a few trucks when swapping a dually rear in. i still have a set of dually hubs out in the garage from a swap that was canceled by the owner.

 

I know I'm doing the same swap in my sig truck right now because it's the right way. I just don't trust aftermarket spacers.

 

That is NOT factory truck

ONE, they did not offer a 4wd dually PICKUP in these years.

TWO, it is a 5 Speed just like I said(because they never even made a 460 compatible 6 speed)

THREE, the guy even says it is a 5 speed in the ad

 

All noted, I never saw an ad. I saw a screen shot of the ad my friend took to get the sander and there it showed 6 speed. So you have a link?

 

It was on there last night but is now gone. The ad also said the salter was sold, so just the truck was for sale. The ad also said 5 speed

 

Please delete

 

yeah that's just a typo but we had that established back on page 1.ford discontinued the gas hog in '97 before the zf6 came out so it was never an option and besides even if they did,the zf6 still didn't gain ya anything besides more shifting.it's not like a zf6 had a double over or anything.
i wanna see if she sports a true dually rear.

theres an exception to that when talking about the front.arrowcraft aa4 front adapters are actually much stronger than oem front dually hubs.
someone posted a pic of a failed front oem front dually hub (with truck in the ditch and truck on the ground,wheel gone) whereas there's a very,very,very slim chance you'll ever see a broken aa4.look how much more meaty these suckers are over oem hubs:

 

damn I've been waiting for the bigblock 6spd unicorn you guys are just mean...............

 

you can still make one, everyone swears you just redrill the bellhousing 460 and it will bolt rite on a diesel. so just get a diesel 6 speed and drill it for a 460..

 

Haha I hope its a unicorn too, guy got busy he is meeting me tomorrow and im going from there, alot of work to do before the snow hits friday so ill be getting right into it so you guys will get a lot of photos and questions im sure.

 

@BruteFord You would think that but i also talked to him on the phone quickly he told me he has a full set of tires just had to put one on and the other five are yet to be mounted and he assured me he ordered the truck as it sits so until im sitting in it the rest is unknown

 

it's only unknown to you.
we've told you how it can be lol.your going to find a truck with a vin that rolled off the assembly line as a 4wd srw truck and your either going to find wheel spacers out back or a true dually axle.then either adapters up front or hubs.
(having the ford dealer ship it away and have it done for him,just means he payed too much to have it done by letting his dealer be a middle man.haha)

then for a trans,your going to see a zf5.a manual 5 speed stick......too bad she's not a E4OD but sometimes ya can't have it all.
