1982 F350
Hi,
New to the board and need some help...
Just purchased a 1982 F350 (used the Ford Fleet vin search tool) dually. In really good shape. Seems it came with a 5.8L (again based on the vin tool). Is there any place I can get more info on it and speak with others that have the same type? Thinking of a restore project as its that good of shape.
Thanks for the help!

This is the right place - thanks, John. LOTS of knowledge here about those trucks. But, what are your questions?
In order to help you we need to know what you have. Good place to do that is in your signature, although some people have those turned off so you should tell us at the top of a thread what you have. You've started by saying F350, 5.8l (351W), and DRW. What about transmission? What carb? Is it computerized? ????????
Oh yes: WELCOME TO FTE!!

Thanks for moving me - Any help?
I have a 1982 F350 Dually stake-bed. 5.8L V8. Excellent truck, strong and solid. Having trouble identifying my dual fuel tanks and want to replace both. Any suggestions on where I can get details on replacing? Any sites that specialize in DYI types like me? Thanks for the help! Ed

You've started by saying F350, 5.8L (351W
), and DRW.5.8L: Is it a 351W (six valve cover bolts per side)? Or is it a 351M (8 valve cover bolts per side)? Both were available for these trucks.
Fuel tanks (mid-ship & aft axle) could be plastic or steel, the F350's wheelbase also applies to applications.

Introduced in sold new in CA 1981 F100/350's, Bronco's & Econolines. By 1984 all had one.
12A650 is the basic number, but there are no application charts for the little charmers, are only listed in the Calibration Code part lists.
Happy hunting, cuz there's only 713 of the parts lists to browse thru.

And besides, was the 351W even an option on F350's? I'm wondering if O.P. really has a 400.
