First of all this is my first post. I've been hanging around a lot recently. I'm a life long fan of dent sides even though I was a kid when they were new. The pic is of my new to me 1973 F-100 4x4. I figured it would be good for a few laughs. Has anyone ever seen this mod? The gear box looks like my '74 F-250 two wheel drive. Now starts the search for a donor truck with the correct parts.

It's actually kind of genius in a redneck sort of way. I have no room to say squat after my latest "feat of engineering" to get my wife's '65 mobile and loaded onto a trailer to bring it home. Suffice it to say a generous wrapping of nylon twine CAN replace a rear wheel bearing for short distances.

Good luck, all the parts are obsolete, expensive if found.

The manual steering gearbox was used, because it had nothing to do with the Power Assist.
