1987 F250 XLT 4x4 carb 460, Dana 60 Swap

Year: 1987
Make: Ford
Model: F-250
Price: $4200
Mileage: 155000
Color: RED
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (State): VA
Transmission: Automatic
Drivetrain: 4WD & AWD
Color: Red
Engine: OEM Carb 460

She's for sale. . .body is very straight, nearly rust free. There are a few rust pimples on the passenger side above the window. There is a little bit of rust on the bottom corner of the rear window. There is a little rust below the A/C box that I'm fixing now. I'm sealing up and reinstalling the air box this weekend. The corners, rocker panels, and floor boards are rust free as are the doors.

Unmolested tailgate!! With all the trim, no dents or bends

-Tires are 33 x 12.5 nearly new
-3.55 gearing
-Rebuilt/refreshed Dana 60 swapped in. I even replaced the King pins
-Rebuilt 460 motor (D1VE, it was already machined). Straight up timing, RV cam, ground out the thermactor humps. . .didn't seem to do much though.
-New driver side power window motor and lock.
-Saginaw power steering conversion, with filter and cooler installed.
-I removed the A/C system because it leaked out. What I planned for the truck, it wasn't needed and made the Saginaw swap easier. I have all parts and brackets to put it back in, and the original pump if you want it.
-All the trim is there
-Stock radio doesn't work, but I have an older Kenwood unit you can have.
-Custom I-Beam front bumper. I have the original bumper and push bar still you can take with you.
-Retro fitted OEM Gear reduction starter. . .very nice
-Urethane bushings up front

That's it off the top of my head. . .

Parts it comes with:

-D9TE block. I wanted to build a stroker motor and turn this into a pulling truck.
-Older C6 housing (HD?) with the ribbed bell housing for a rebuild.
-Transmissions guts for said rebuild
-Spare BW 1345 for parts
-Dana 70U dually rear axle (wanted some WIDE tires on it)
-7/8" hex wrench for king pins
-Dana housing inner axle seal installer
-Super Duty Hydro-Boost brakes setup (unless I craigslist it)
-I dunno, anything else that I need to clean out of my garage

What's wrong with it. . .

-Fuel gauge is pegged Probably a bad ground? I dunno, electricity is like magic to me. . .I'm just amazed some things work, and have no idea what makes it not.
-Carb needs work? I've rebuilt it, screwed with the acc. pump more than a few times, still bogs off idle, and leaks after a few weeks. Original 4180 carb, probably just needs a new one. I don't do carbs, sorry
-Couple rust spots need attention. Nip it in the bud now, before it becomes a problem.
-Window rubber is shot
-Needs someone to love her more than I can

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. . .

Um, pics in my garage or profile. . .I can take any other pics you need. And please, I'm up for haggling. The $4200 number is just that, price I came up with. Negotiate with me!! You have nothing to lose, but I'm in no rush to sell so please no "screw-me" offers.

GREAT CANDIDATE FOR A CUMMINS SWAP

Thanks!

Forgot to mention a set of FlowTech Headers to go with it. . .I removed them before I finished the swap because the inspection was due and I wanted it to go as easy as possible. . .since the truck can be registered as an Antique before the next inspection is due, I was just going to wait and install them next summer fully but. . .I'm trying to sell it now :P

Underside pic of when I had them in and also showing the Dana 60 swapped in.

Also, if yall need any pics of anything, let me know

Not sure why I'm not getting email notices for replys

The good thing is though, you don't need $5000!! I'll take less, send me an offer

And you can use this truck to tow your bronco around, it's very versatile

Nothing?

No offers?

Doesn't hurt to toss something my way if you are interested. . .truck isn't getting any newer sitting in my driveway. . .

I'm to the point of being really negotiable to the right buyer

um. . .I might be interested in trades for a late 70's or early 80's Bronco in similar condition. Low/no rust, straight, clean body, clean and intact interior, XLT

I figure it would be worth an ask. I like my big ol truck, but would be willing to trade into something that is more park-able

Thanks for the bumps

I started a repair on some small rust spots. . .little bit of glass now, plan to sand, fill, and paint in the spring. I expect this to be reflected in anyone's offers.

Also, would consider trading for any year XLT Bronco in good condition. Inline 6 with a 5 speed would be cool. . .but I'm not too picky (so I say now, lol)
