68 4x4 suspension
I am new here so bear with me if this is common knowlege. I just bought a 68 f250 with a 390, manual, and 8 lug gear and wanted to know if the 4 inch blocks in the back are factory or a lift. They appear to be factory because of the bumpstop platforms on the side. How high did these come cause it's clearing 35's. Also do you know a good vin number web site. Highboy?

Hi 99banshee and welcome to FTE! 
Don’t know of a good VIN decoder for the ’68 – ’69 trucks.
The rating plate is on the driver’s door by the latch mech.
We’ll see ‘ya around, enjoy the site!

measure the diameter on the locking hubs of your front axle. If they are 4 1\2 inches or so ...you probably have the closed-knuckle, heavy duty, dana 44 series front axle. In any case, your rear axle should be the full-floating , dana 60 series. You should have the removable , exterior axle . with the 10 small bolts , i believe. fd

Banshee,.
Rating plate is Ford's terminology.
I prefer to call it the Data Plate.
Early 70's plates were in the front door jamb instead of on the door.

the data plate in on the door, but the door isn't original so it doesn't do me any good. the front end is a closed knuckle and the rear end is full floating. Is there any way to put disc brakes on that front for not to much $. Also did any of these trucks come with power steering that I can use to convert mine. I'll have to snoop around the junk yards. We should get a group purchase going through skyjacker
