Unhappy Not suficient info to answer your query correctly

Speeder,

Apparently you have a 64 F series, right?

Is it a F 250? if not what model is it, and is it 4X2Wd or 4X4Wd.

Does it have Power steering & A/C now or do you want to upgrade to them?

As for suspension that all depends on whatever you have now.
SO tell us more and we can tell you more Okay?

Thumbs up DIppy - Volare - Aspen "K" Frame is what I'd do !

SInce you got a Goat Motor in their, I would suggest you get the K member from a V8 Mopar with latteral (side to side) torsion bars, like Aspen Volare Dippy etc. It has Mopar P/S & PDB's. It also is slamable by cranking on the torsion bars & re-adjusting the front end accordingly.

Normally I'd not suggest this swap for a FoMoCo Power Train, but with a Goat Motor it's sort of a no brainer. it's no tuff install & all your accessories are 100% compatable with your powertrain, right? If you used FoMoCo P/S box I don't know any easy way to mount a FoMoCo box on a Goat Motor.

Besides, all that stuff mounts on the "K" Frame in MoPaRs, but on Frame Rails in a Ford. . . . just seems most logical, practical. and probably the best way to go, ya know?
