Somehow I do not see the need for reliable PSD in a F350 on 40" Cepek Fun Countrys, Especially since it is a 1978 Move to the dent side forum.
It will be on & off road use. I could not refuse the deal on the 5.9. Traded a 1994 4.9 pick up for it. Just turn up the pump & timing & go 1 wire to the engine fuel shutoff & 1 wire to the starter.
Not a lot to go wrong

Now it makes sense! A swap like that's a great idea. Let us know how it works out!
When you posted before I thought you were taking a shot at the reliability of the PSDs, saying that an 18 year old cummins would be better.
I get it now!

One observation I would make, because my GMC is similar vintage and same body style. I have a small block, Turbo 350, and NP 205 transfer case. I HATE that my front driveshaft is so short, and uses such a steep angle with the lift. In fact I had to have a custom dual-CV driveshaft made for it.
Meanwhile, my neighbor down the street has a Ford like your new one here, and it has the detached transfer case, which sits way back, almost in the middle of the truck. I LIKE that. His front driveshaft is long, with very little angle despite a fairly aggressive lift. I am sure there are folks here who know exactly what I am talking about. I think there is actually a short shaft that goes between the tranny and the transfer case.

Yep it is called a Divorced Tcase 3 drive shafts. Reduce the drive line angle for lifted trucks, The Dana 60 KP HP also reduced the angle. the older 60's are a low pinion case. The 78 -79's are Hp reverse cut.

If I had my druthers, I'd opt for the dual-CV driveshaft at a steep angle to keep it out of the way
