Interchangable parts?
I found a 1978 F-350 2WD for sale kinda locally. supposed to only have 58XXX miles on it. has the 460 in it which I want. From the one pic I have seen the body looks in decently good condition. I currently have a 1977 F-250 4WD with the 400. what all can I rob from the 78 that will fit the 77?

Because the F-350 2wd has a 140" wb and 34" frame the bed will be different as well. To use the cab you'd have to cut out the floor over the trans. 2wd automatic trucks have a lower trans tunnel. Manual trans and all 4x4 have the higher bolt-in piece which would have to be used in your swap (no big deal, just different).

All 73-79 regular cab 2wd F-350s had a 140" wb regardless of whether they were SCS, CS, Trailer Specials, etc. Some further information, Ford dropped the Super from the Super Camper Special after 1976.
