That will definitely be super sweet if you pull it off. You may talk to Brown Falcon because he had a dually that he converted to single wheel. Different I know but he may have parts or advice. I also have an extra ZF 5 speed if you or anyone you know ends up needing it.

As for your fortune with the 450. You probably handled it better than I would've. I probably would have taken a metaphorical deucer in his metaphorical sandbox. Did you tell him that even $1000 off of his price wouldn't change your application's needs? What a moron. Sorry it didn't work out man.

That does suck for you taking all the time to get there and the bonehead can't tell the difference between a automatic or stick shift.
The only other thing I was going to mention is I found out by someone who did this at work to their truck, if you put a 2wd rear end in a 4x4 you'll get vibrations due to the different offset in the leaf spring perches.
Never even crossed my mind before that they would be different except some gear ratios of course.
Hope everything works out for you though.

The 460 and thw7.3 trannys have different bolt patterns. You can see the difference at the end of this thread.https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...ml#post8808058
