Help Identify Rear Axle and Load Capacity
The easiest way to tell if there are adapters on a Sterling rear is how much of the hub is sticking through the wheels. 1 or 2" means theres a spacer, 4"-ish means no spacer. Sterling rears have very long hub stickout, so anything less than lots means a spacer. Travis..- crashnzuk

Help Identify Rear Axle and Load Capacity
As far as the original title saying 4800 lbs, I'm pretty sure that was what Ford assigned to it when it was built and sold as a pick-up truck. I think they just used a "standard" weight for each line of truck, like the weight of the base model standard cab 2wd. My Dodge is registered in the...- crashnzuk

Idi exhaust manifolds
I don't know if you could make them work in a pick-up or not, but that drivers side manifold is a much better design than the pick-up manifold. Much less restrictive. Travis..- crashnzuk

Milking as much out of my 6.9 n/a as I can
Just to expand on this ^, I think a set of headers would really benefit an N/A engine. The drivers side manifold is quite restrictive. Port work, cam, fresh fuel system, and headers would probably be about as good as an N/A can get. Travis..- crashnzuk

Now stocking Wicked Wheel for the IDI
I don't think you'll necessarily see if the WW is "worth it" on a dyno. I think where a WW will help is keeping the EGTs in check under long hard pulling. It would be cool to get an impression from someone who travels the same route regularly with roughly the same loads and knows their truck...- crashnzuk

anyone identify this rearend?
Looks like a 70 to me, the rail where the cover seals on the top and bottom is wider than a 60 so it looks more elongated top to bottom than a 60. The covers do interchange between a 60 and 70 though. Travis..- crashnzuk

FS: Clean 1986 Crew Cab, 6.9L, 4x4, West Sacramento CA
I also have an 80k mile original N/A 6.9 with fresh baby moose pump and matched injectors from Type4, and a 4x4 ZF5 with transfer case and some other misc items that I'd be willing to let go with the truck if someone from here wants to work a deal. Travis..- crashnzuk

ATS CD-R tube picture
Yes it does, I was posting from my phone and dealing with some really bad cell service when I originally posted :) Thanks for the offer, probably not necessary though. It looks to be that it's just a tube with a. 45ish degree kink in it. I'm just trying to find it in my dads shop and needed...- crashnzuk

Bucket Seats in a Single Cab
Be careful putting later model seats in an older standard cab truck. If you are average height or taller, you may not have much room. The cabs on newer trucks are larger inside, so the seats can be larger and recline, etc. A highback bucket in a square standard cab is asking to be too close...- crashnzuk

Because I don't get enough attention already.
Agree, don't ruin your cab for lights. Mount it to your headache rack. We have lots of stuff at work with lights on the roof, and believe me, there ain't no going back. [:)] Travis..- crashnzuk

Cummins swap?
As a guy with a 12 valve dodge and an IDI, I can say that I really like my 12 valve. So much so that I'm going to sell my crew cab instead of my Dodge since I have decided that I only need one truck. The best course for doing a swap is to do like was suggested and buy a whole truck as a donor...- crashnzuk
