73 4x4 towers
My son-in-law is swapping a 300 into his 73 4x4 half-ton and we're shopping for towers. Need to know what we're looking for exactly.
Anybody know if the 4x4 and 2wd towers would be different?
Anybody happen to have a set laying around that you want to get rid of?
In case you're curious, the truck vin shows it had a 360 orig, but a po swapped in a 302. We've pulled out the 302 towers after grinding gobs of weld off - went by the theory if you can't weld good, weld alot. Anyway the frame is clean and ready for 300 towers.
Thanks, Tim

By the parts catalogs, you don't have too many choices, but someone here may know that something else can be adapted, or that someone makes a kit to do what you are planning.
D6TZ-6028-A .. R/Side Perch
D6TZ-6029-A .. L/Side Perch
The above numbers fit: 1973/76 F100/F250 4X4's, and 1977 F100/250 4X4's before serial number Y20,001. The left side perch only also fits 1979 F150 4X4's. The 2WD perches are different.
I'm afraid that's it. The earlier 1965/72 4X4 240/300's show different parts numbers for the perches. I also looked at every part number for every engine perch Ford offered from 1965 thru 1979. No other matches could be found.
