What year is it ?
As this is my first post, I hope this is the right place for it..
I have what i thought was a '74 4x4 f-350 w\390, 4 speed, divorced case...then I saw a post that said ford didnt make a 350 4wd in '74...
The front axle has a ball type socket\joint on the ends...
The body had been changed before I got it to a 78 body, and Ive done a body swap since, so I have no idea on original body style.
Any ideas in finding out what Ive really got..and does anyone know if ford did in fact make a f-350 4wd in '74 ? It dosent look like a 2 to 4 wheel conversion at all...
Thanks...
John

Find the VIN on the frame and post it. I'm not sure about 4x4's, but on 2x's the frame VIN is on top of the right side frame rail, near the front wheel.
I don't know about 1974, but in the late 60s, an F350 4x4 would have "F36" as the first three characters in the VIN ("F35" would be a 350 2wd, "F26" would be a F250 4x4, etc.). Someone here on FTE will surely be able to decode it for you, though.

I can't find any info showing an F-350 4x4 between '79-'79.
F-250 4x4 code is F26
F-150 4x4 code is F14
F-350 4x2 code is F35
I'll keep looking on this, but I think that the F-350 4x4 came back in the line-up in '80. Same year that an F-350 dually was offered as a pick-up.

That's F-350, as in model of the truck, not the engine size. You are correct they make the 351M and a 351 Windsor wich wasn't available in a truck until the mid 80's.

No such thing as stupid questions, just stupid answers
