Trade ME!

I'm itching for a 4x4 5-Speed truck... Got a great deal on my 2wd auto when I bought it but really wish I had a 4x4 Manual trans truck.

Sorry, I'm sitting around my house after dental surgery on heavy pain killers right now... Just wishing I had waited for a 4x4 5-speed when I was truck shopping a year and a half ago.

I have a '88 F350 back home with the 7.3 IDI that's 4x4 5-speed that I could swap all the parts over to mine to make it that way. But it's a lot of work. Wish I could just start over again with a different PSD.

I say do the swap! It will take you a weekend and a case of beer. You have the donor truck and everything you need.

Yeah, I'm just impatient. I'm stationed out in NC for another year and then I can move back to Oregon and hopefully do the swap.

The biggest part will be swapping the front suspension, boxing the frame, switching to leaf springs. Probably going to do the RSK when I do it.

I don't think the transmission/transfer case swap will be too bad.

Ya for sure. I still think if you have the donor truck it makes the swap easy and would be exactly what you want.

Probably too bad azz for him to trade me. With my half paint job, and my not stellar interior.
Carpet is shot, back power windows don't work, only 3 of the power locks work...
I do have 80k less miles on mine than he has. And less than 20k on my trans.

I left a reply for him though, so who knows...

No dice... he wants to trade for a 4x4 and he doesn't want a auto trans.

Looks like I'll be swapping everything over next year from my '88

Brownie, on the power window thing. I had the same issue and it was getting really frustrating. All power goes through the master window control switch first (driver side). I tore that sucker apart, yes it can be done and I'm good at those things. The contacts inside there are tini-tiny and I can tell you there is no way to clean them up, all green corrosion.. Being the cheap sob guy I am I searched the internet for months and the only hit I had was some guy that just pulled one from a junk yard and wanted $44 it with no warranty because he had no way to test it. I finally bit the bullet and went to Ford dealer and got the entire master switch (new) for $57.
