obs swapped to second gen?
So I have a built motor in my 2000 f250 and wanted to swap the trans to a manual well on Craigslist I found a truck (98 model yr)with the right trans for the a good price but the body is in much nicer condition than mine so I was wondering if I could just swap the motors?? Iv pulled these motors more than a few times and recently I could probaly have it done in two weekends depending on what needs to be changed in the 98 truck

As said before, no 98 Powerstrokes. They did make a 98 F-250 but it was a "light 3/4" (less GVW than the >97s) and none of those were diesel.
Putting a diesel in a true 98 F-250 would be quite a feat. Macho deneros and a lot of custom fabrication, but anything is possible.
Putting a SD diesel in a 94-97 Powerstroke would be easier but not 100% bolt in either

there were 98 F350's. they were 97's that were tagged as 98's. at the other job i bought 5 of them at auction. and as Madpogue said, they were sold in canada and had speedometers in kmh not mph
i have also heard of canadian full size 98 F250 diesels, but never saw one.

There were no 98 F250HD/F350's up here either. Buddy of mine actually has a 97 model year(by vin) F350 crew with a 1/98 build date on the door tag.
The only 98 F250 is the 7 lug F150 based truck.

no, YOU READ IT WRONG. build date was 12/97. TITLE SAID 1998 F-350 .
5 trucks, sequential serial numbers. they were part of a lot of 25 trucks all built the same, and built for a construction company some where in canada.
7.3 diesel, auto trans, 4X4, headache rack, and tommy gate on the back. white trucks with 4 inch yellow stripe down the side.
