That sir is one sharp looking F250....DJM no longer has anything listed in the catalog for old F350's like mine.

Is there any difference in the beams between F100/150/250/350?

Not sure myself, but I would think the F350 beams are bigger?

I thought kingpin size played into it.

I'd love to hear that I could use F150 beams, they are available from DJM, they seem to have less issue's than Aigbagit.

Although Airbagit looks like they build upon request if you send in measurements. I would just need to know what to measure.

Thanks man right now it has a 460 out of a RV. Only has around 70k on the motor and trans.

I had a 12v and ZF6 with the adaptors for it, but was let go from work and sold the parts for extra money. If I ever do a diesel swap I'm looking at a DT360 or built IDI.

But for now, looking to lower, new rims, clean up the interior, fix the AC, and put in a ZF5.

Picked it up for $700 about a year and half ago delivered . $600 for motor and trans. Couple hundred in small stuff and used 16.5 tires. Rustoleum paint job.

I would be super stoked if I could find the Ford rims that Rellim has on that F250. Would LOVE to find a set of those then I could get some cheap 16" inner steelies and that would suit me just find.

Now it looks like I'm going ti have to find a shortbed to tinker with. I love all the shortbed F100/150 trucks in here. That said wish you were closer and needed a f150 shortbed. I have a pretty nice one here I can't even give away. Hardly no rust, and has the trim and lights in it. (just the bed)
