WOW that is worst than my free 89 F150.

glad to see it fit no problem. Are you plan paint body?


have you try this RustGuy.com | Industrial Strength Rust Control Products ?

I was think buy that to paint frame on F350 to prevent rust.

Wow! Great Job!

By Blue Rebel: The swap took about 4 days of hard work to do, but i didnt work hard every day, so it took me about a week. And thats with no air tools, no torch, and working by myself for most of the time. Had 1 guy helping 3 days, but that was it.
Nice Job! Very impressive, particularly for working in a sloping driveway, mostly single-handedly. I'm guessing you're a Ford tech, by trade?

I keep thinking how much worse it must've been with all those little things ALMOST fitting--crap! It would have been daunting enough if you knew everything was a direct swap, but in this case, when things didn't fit, you didn't even have the certainty of knowing that they were supposed to fit.

I would find that frustrating, to say the least.

Well done!

lol nope, no ford tech here. just a 23 year old kid that bleeds blue. Eventually it will get painted, but first i need to get a new core support and frame mounts. My mounts rusted out, and the support ripped out of them. I already have new fenders and a new rock guard waiting in storage.
