Rocket powered tractor!!
Thats the name my daughter gave our 66 F350 dually - its pretty accurate.
It nails you to seat but doesn't want to stop very well. So heres another question I've been searching for an answer to. Whats the best way to convert to front disks on this monster. I've found parts for other models but not mine. It doesn't have the twins up front so I thought maybe swap the whole axle? Any pointers greatly appreciated

I know mid to late 90's Chevy Heavy dutys had a straight axle, and I remember Ford had one too but I am not sure if it used the 16.5 rims like Chevy.
Other then that I know you can put Vette or RT Charger brakes on a F100 if you machine the hub so it slides over the hat and make a bracket to hold the caliper that bolts onto the backing plate holes. So if there is a HD brake that does not have an integral hub you could probily do the same conversion, but HD.
