New here, need help sorting Hoss
Hay all! It's time to begin the process of restoring Hoss. My daughter and my dog are in love with him. I joined this site for help. He's a 1969 Ford F250 custom cab 4spd 360ci. Bone stock. I'm the 2nd owner...Altho the 1st owner wasn't particularly kind to him at all, he's almost all there. Rusty in the bad spots(cab mounts, rear of the front fenders).
I mean to make him a driver/usable. Not a trailer/show queen...but a nice truck.
Would anyone have a preferred parts list of all the u-joints under my pickup...or at least a document that will assist me for replacing every one of them? Part numbers of Spicer or other heavy duty ones? I kinda only want to do this once.
Also, does anyone know of a source for a front driveshaft? OEM replacement or how to get one built
Or...has anyone gone and swapped out the divorced driveline? What are you putting under there?
Can someone guide me to the pubs or links that would best help me? Thank you, Walt

Welcome to FTE. I suggest assembling reference materials like the catalogs from various vendors. Doing so will allow familiarization of the various assemblies, their availability, and potential cross-over PNs btwn the 100/250//350 series.

What do you mean by "divorced driveline"? A two-piece driveshaft? Going to a single driveshaft will usually require a bigger diameter driveshaft because of the whipping action that could result because of higher RPM. A bigger diameter would increase its rigidity and be less prone to vibrational harmonics and potential wear, tear, and other breakage.

Walt Welcome to 
and the Bumpside Forum. 
You should be able to get all those parts at your favorite parts house, or NAPA. I swapped the drive shaft to a single in my 66 F100 with no issues so far. Don't know why it wouldn't work in your 250 if you want to go in that direction.

I believe he meant the divorced T/C and it's driveshafts.
Note. "Let your fingers do their walkin' through your local Yellow Pages" (or on-line) for a local driveshaft company. They can change the joints and the length of your shafts as necessary.

Dunno man... I would think detailing whether his rig is 4WD or not would be important....and it's not uncommon in here to misapply terms terms. Hence, the basic question was asked.
