my new beast

79 F350 4x4 351m/4spd D60 fr 4.10 gears $1200

Just got her home, needs a good tune up but I'm pretty excited. I bought it for the axles, but am still tossing around the idea of leaving it be and using it to haul other trucks home. Here's some pix:

yup, I was glad to see the pto, sway bars and overload springs. Out cleaning the engine of wasp nests and years of grime, already running better.

Depends, anywhere from 50 to 500 bucks, is it functional or froze up, the "Chelsea" units bring in more than other manufacturers, but generally you're looking at a few hundred bucks, simply because they're somewhat rare.

maybe rare but not around here to much. lots of these trucks had some sort of pto on them because of farming country.

See in the pic of your 205 transfer case? To the right of your drive shaft is what looks to be another small shaft pointing to the rear of the truck that is the Pto gear box and there is 6 bolt that all have to come off that the same time to take the box off the case make sure you have or get a cover plate to put over that if you take it off the plates are a little bit of money to so put the price of one of those in the price if you sell it.

Did that clear it up a bit?

Thanks. Yeah, if I couldn't get at least $250, I'll just keep it. Don't know that I'll ever use it, but it'd look cool under my Scab when it's done. :P
