A Setback
Hi Folks, One of my co-workers called me this morning to say he was going to be late. He was involved in an accident which messed up the right front corner of his '69 F250. He is a little sore but OK. Some idiot ran a stop sign and nailed him. It appears that the suspension might be compromised. I have a '65 F250 parts truck and we wonder if the suspension parts are interchangeable. He will also need a right fender and some related parts but he is determined to get it back in one piece. The interesting thing about his truck is that it has a Mopar 440 installed ahead of the stock Np435 tranny. I did not even know that was possible. He was bringing it to work for the first time so I could get a look at it. Parts Dummy to the front, please. Thanks Steve

The fender is the same 1967/72.
The grilles are the same 1968/69 as are the headlamps, parking lights, etc.
The 1967 grille while slightly different, will also work and the lamps are the same as 68/69's.
The New Process 435 4 speed trans was not exclusive to Ford. It was used in Dodges, Studebakers, Cornbinders, mebbe even some GM piles.
