JoWilker could you tell me, in detail, every thing that I'm going to need to get from this 73 truck so I will not leave anything and have to pay more if I had to return for p/s and power brake parts. Thanks Kevin Felix

My recall is not that good, that is why I always say get the whole truck. The front wheel brake line brackets are one thing that comes to mind.
When the complete front suspension is swapped you will always know what to ask for should a part be needed.

i agree with Jowilker. see if he''s bring you the truck and come get it when youre done as i have done this coversion twice and murphy says you will spend that much money traveling back and forth looking for the half dozen minor pieces to you for got to take with you and there will be a bunch of them. then if you wanna convert you can change out the brake pedal assembly and be rid of the clutch pedal and also bring the brake switch under the dash. this item is a direct bolt in.

He will not bring me the truck, but the salvage yard is just a couple miles from my home. We live in a very small town of about 7500 to 8000 people.
Although it will be a little inconvient they guys at the salvage yard have and will be a great help in taking of and giving me imformation about how to take of my truck and how to put back on. I wish they would bring it to my house, but if they did then it would be more diffucult for them to give me the information, They would not want to come to the house. I guess it's best if I just get the parts needed and start on this project. I'll be needing info from you'll so I'll say thanks in advance. Kevin Felix

Kevin, That is NOT the only donor truck, excellent price, but I suggest you pass on it.
One thing, you might get most of the needed parts and they decide to crush the truck before you finish and you are SOL.
I think I paid $600.00 for my first donor, but on all of them I sold body & other parts and got my money back.
Are you sure that you can do the swap? It takes some big wrenches to take the radius arm nut off, a big Johnson bar to get the beams out and in.

JoWilker, I sorry if this is a stupid question but I need to clarify something. In post #9 you stated Locate 73-76 F100 and then in post #23 you referred saying google 1976 F150. Will either truck work a F100 or a F150. Thanks in advance Kevin Felix
