I think what mosta was trying to say is that it would be A LOT easier to buy a new truck than to do a retrofit or conversion.

Yeah, well not everyone can handle such a large machine. Stick to yer "starter" truck. Regular cabs... I will say that I like your compensatory lift. But you still have a little "truck".

And as for the senior citizen thing. ??? I haul around kids. I guess one day they'll be senior citizens...

anyhow, time fer a real response. if you have the complete f-350 4x4 you shouldnt have to much trouble. it should be just a direct swap. the biggest problem will be if one truck has an auto and the other is a stick. also look and make sure that the frames are the same. i do not think they are different, but im not certain. let us know what ya do. if ya have any more questions send me a message. good luck.

yes Nathan you're right. We shoulda given a real answer but then again, a more complete question woulda helped too.

Is he just swappin' axles?

Is he making his '89 a 4x4 or is it one already?

How far along is he?

What kind of tips would he like?

(Your question)What tranny & transfer cases do you have now?

etc. etc. etc.

You know how we work sometimes...A question like that can sometimes lead to exactly what it did. But I blame it on YETI. It's his fault.

The frame will be the same on the 250 and the 350 as long as the 350 isn't a cab and chasie or a dualy
