any one ever put frame and drive train of a 350 powerstroke in a 73-79 pickup? im going to mate the two, i will use the firewall and front cab mounts and some of the floor. just seeing if anyone else has done this and can share some insite. thanks

 

Sounds like a pretty cool idea i havnt seen that done yet. Couldnt tell ya how but would love to hear what people have to say.

 

Its been done a few times. I did it with an 89 and there was a guy on here that did something similar. Do a search and you'll find some stuff

 

I like your thinking, don't get me wrong I love my truck. (1997 F250 crew short powerstroke) But the thought often crosses my mind, if it were to end up being wrecked. I would buy it back from the insurance company and make a trip down south to find a 73-79 crew cab.

 

I was thinking about doing that but if you have a '78 one ton then don't you have the Dana 60, everyone wants? Why not just transplant the power strokes guts into your '78?

 

the 78 is a 2 wheeler rite now and the 95 is everthing i want drive line wize, so a little cuttin and weldin should make one truck i love

 

Friend of mine put a '99 powerstroke in a '79, custom motor mounts and a little modification to the firewall and everything bolts in. truck looks and works awesome.
