Do you ever get over on Tight Run Loop Rd? 
Code 29 is a 3.55. A 4.10 gear set in definitely in order, LS even better. You're in the edge of the big hill.
Find a donor with H5 axle code and you'll be grinnin'! J&T in Marion maybe.

right just like any f250LD of the 7th-8th gen era it sports the semi floater and comes with the lighter duty trans (in this case,m code mazda) basically it's a heavy half ton f150.
im in complete disbelieve here.now ya gotta wonder how many were made.i sent diesel brad a pm so he can check this out when he logs in.he's not gunna believe it.i know he's never seen one (he's posted saying so) and you know how many trucks he's run into lol.he's gunna crap a brick.
5 speed.it's found in the f250HD/f350/f450
you may not want to alter this truck at all.if you need a hd truck go buy one.this one might be as rare as hens teeth.

Before you start investing in transmission and or gearing, what shape is the engine in?(compression/tune-up).
My(late)dad had 4 of these for his plumbing business, yes, they did exist. There are sill folks that say they didn't...lol. My nephew wrapped the last one around a phone pole last year, so no pics.

I have an older box van with the 4sp available but not sure that I would want to loose 5th.
If I do a rear swap I would like to go to the Heavy duty rear.

To be honest, I really never thought much about it until a few years ago when a couple of folks around here started telling us that there was no such truck made. I thought that they were as common as anything else. Maybe it was a regional thing.

Had no clue it was that odd a truck. Someone want to buy it? Engine runs great. It is my only work truck most times when it is running it has a load on it.
I would like to move up to a Heavy Diesel truck but Just not ready to yet.

M5HD-W 5.720 could I just tear down the m50d and change out 1st to the gearing in the heavy truck?
