1971 F100 + 1976 F100 = all the parts I need

Just cut the bolts off the 1976 and dropped the cab/box off the frame, equipped with C6 Ford 9" off set Posi trac rear end, getting ready to move the 460 onto the frame after it's hit the blasting shop and had a little make over and remove some of the old rust wrinkles off the frame... I'll get some picks up ASAP... Gotta love a liquid wrench Hr and 1/2 done, cleaning up and having a nice cold Canadian on the deck...

Hello from Delta, B.C Canada

Hello I'm a girl, just bought my first diesel, 2007 f350 6.0, I am pretty handy and could use any advice to keep this baby going forever without any problems! Thanks!

I hear a lot about older diesels that have DEF Sensor problems. When low on fluid, the truck just stops to an idle. Can't this be avoided by keeping the tank filled? My first diesel. 2015 6.7 with 1,500 miles on it.
