how difficult do you think would the swap be from 4x2 to 4x4 in a 1965 f250?

Not easy; best way would be a 70's model 4x4 donor truck and change the body over to it.

It lives!...........Slight float adjustment (flying by the seat of my pants) mixture screws adjusted slightly and it idles and revs great...............But I can't do a road test until the wife comes home, in case I need rescued.

Is there anywhere within 200ft you can do circles, cookies, ? Anything other than idling?

Evening Roy!


The dogs have brought me back home, demanded their dinner and are now passed out the floor in front of the fire. They Spent half the day running their tales off at the farm, come home, take a 30 minute nap and think they have to go for a walk around the field by the high school. Of course every blade of grass has something on it worth investigating!
