Ohhh Yeahhhhh!!!

Just got home with a 1997 F350 CC 4x4 5 speed. It's got 289k miles and boy is it a turd BUT it has a 3.54 geared Dana 60 and all the goods that I've been looking for. The family is out of town so I had to celebrate a little.

If it's got power windows and locks on all 4 doors, Midwest Dually is looking for the wiring, motors,etc.. for his truck.

Yessir. I still need to really look it over to see if I'll keep it or not. Hopefully the case and everything will be in good shape and I can use it.

Haha. I've contemplated putting the dana 50 in it and selling it again. I hate to take one off the road but it needs a lot of TLC and I don't plan on putting in the time or money. Need a 4x4 with a blue door Glenn?

I was kind of scared to open this thread. Thought the kool aid man might come crashing through my screen.

Congrats on the find. Be sure to post pics of your swap.

You think that's a turd! You should see the beauty I'm starting with on my 460 gas to PSD swap! The only thing I'm reusing is the cab, frame and axles! I'll have to get my son-in-law to show me how to post pics on here, cause I'm a computer dummy, but I'll show a TURD. LOL!!!

That's a great find on yours though!

I wouldn't mind a 4by4 donor but don't have the place to put it or time

Try this Bill,

If you upload the pics to an album on this website, here is what you do after the pics are in your album...

1. go to your profile

2. click on the appropriate album

3. click on the picture you want to post

4. Now it will come to a page with only that picture on it... Under that picture and under your caption are 2 links written out. One of them is "Picture URL" and the other is "BB code". You want the "BB code".Copy the text in the "BB code" box and then go to your post. In your reply box, paste the BB code text and submit. It will post that picture in your post.

5. For multiple pics in one post when the pics are on this site, I open up two pages of FTE. On one page, I load the album that I'm posting pics from. The other will be my reply box that I'm pasting to. So now you just click on whatever pic you want, copy the BB code, open other page with reply box, paste... Go back to pic window, press back button, click on the next picture, copy BB code, other window, paste, etc, etc, etc.

When posting from somewhere like a photobucket account... Upload your pictures to photobucket from your PC or mobile device. This part is easy.

1. Have 2 windows open. One will have Photobucket open, the other with FTE open.

2. In Photobucket, simply hover your mouse over the pic that you want to post and under the pic multiple text boxes will show up. In order from top to bottom- Email and IM, Direct Link, HTML code, IMG code. You want the IMG code to post pics to this thread.

3. click on the IMG code text and copy it. Now you simply paste it into the reply box here on FTE. When you post, the pic will show up.


The code that you want in order to post pics to a forum such as this will have [IMG] at the beginning and end of the link of the page.


To post videos I always upload them to youtube. Once the video is loaded and works on youtube, go to the video page and copy the web address at the top of the window... This is the part that says https://www.ford-trucks.com

Once you've copied that web address from youtube, paste it in your reply box here on FTE. It will automatically embed in the post and show the video on the thread.
