Yup its just a wing on the tailgate and it's not made anymore and I searched for two years till I found one. I wanted the one that goes on top of the cab that I believe centurion made but I haven't found one that someone is willing to sell.

Mine probably won't happen until after you do yours. Right now I'm trying to find something to make my dedicated tow pig and farm truck. I'm thinking a 7.3 obs f450 or a super duty 7.3 f450

Why not a brick (87-91) Fsuperduty 7.3L? It would be cool to see what you could do with one of those.

I just purchased what says is the last one from autoplicity. $36 plus $8 shipping. I've heard they aren't legit but the payment is through Amazon and on my Mastercard so its double protection if they don't deliver.

Bob, please tell me that we will get to see pictures of a work in progress. I'm wanting to do the same deal to my rig at some point.

This swap has been done on quite a few F250s, F350s, and Broncos. For the most part it's pretty straightforward and simple. The only thing I can't seem to find is actual measurements of where the new coil buckets will mount, and where the radius arm brackets will mount. Lots of photos, though, so it should be easy enough to figure out.
I think the biggest challenge will be the rear driveshaft. My Centurion has a two piece rear shaft, and I don't think it'll be needed (nor do I think it's needed now) with the SD swap. I'd really like to find a stock driveshaft out of something that will work, so I don't end up with a custom driveshaft.

I think they're lying but at least you can get your money back if you don't get it.

That's why I paid through Amazon. we'll see if it happens. If not, I'm not worried about it. I figured it was a cheap enough gamble to take for the price. I would think if you could find one brand new somewhere else it would cost a lot more

But I would still change the front of it to the 92?-96 nose I'm not really a fan of brick nose trucks (no disrespect to anyone)
