    Difference in early starters?

    That's really cool, though doesn't really surprise me. A lot of the Ford starters I have been looking at cross reference to a ton of different applications. Although that thread isn't terribly helpful without some good part numbers. :( I think Cummins uses a lot of different starters based on...

    Difference in early starters?

    Thanks for the info. That's what I was starting to think, probably just different teeth for different gear ratios. I'm also building a new set of cables with 2/0 between the batteries and 3/0 to the starter. Two good group 31s on the desulphator right now while my truck waits for a starter...

    Does the tooth count not matter? It says 13 tooth as well. If that one works shouldn't they all? That one is $50 more than the ones on ebay.

    Difference in early starters?

    Yeah, that's direct drive. Can you not use the gear reduction starters on 83-84?? Do I have a different flex plate or something?

    Difference in early starters?

    Yeah, that's why I ask. They list this one for 1985-1994 http://www.ebay.com/itm/130682573081 And this one for 1983-1984 http://www.ebay.com/itm/130682184399 The one listed for my motor is totally different. It only lists the direct drive type. It's cheaper but that's not really what I...

    Difference in early starters?

    Thanks for the info. Is this the Mitsubishi I want? http://www.ebay.com/itm/371176586376?_trksid=p2055119 I notice the ones listed for my truck say 10 tooth, and the newer ones say 13 tooth. That's not a problem?

    Difference in early starters?

    I need a new starter for my 1984 6.9 F250. C6 if it matters. It currently has the old direct drive style, I want the gear reduction style. All of the ones I find list the application as being for 1985-1994 6.9/7.3 motors. They show an old direct drive starter for my year. Is there actually any...

    Possible to put Super Duty body on '84 frame?

    Make me an offer, though it may be a month or two before I have time to start picking at it. The truck had 192k on it, but the turbo is not original, so it has less miles than that. Just a quick look at it doesn't seem like it would be that hard with some custom plumbing. Then again the newer...

    Possible to put Super Duty body on '84 frame?

    I have thought about that, but, would it really be much easier? A cab swap even for the same year is quite a bit of labor, right? Plus I'd prefer to keep as many parts of the SD as possible, it's just a pain to sell that kind of stuff on craigslist. I'd also have to part out another truck if I...

    Possible to put Super Duty body on '84 frame?

    I finally got under both trucks and measured today, both are exactly 37" apart to the outside of the frame rails and 50" between front and back cab mounts. :) The rear cab mounts on the Super Duty cab are a little different - they sit outside the frame rail like the front instead of sitting on...

    Possible to put Super Duty body on '84 frame?

    That's what I was thinking too, I do not want ANY of the electronics from the 04. I'll take a sawzall to the dash and put in mechanical gauges if I have to. LOL Probably end up making a metal cover that goes over the OEM gauges, haven't thought about it much. No inspections for me, so I can do...

    Possible to put Super Duty body on '84 frame?

    I have a couple trucks that are getting hacked apart and becoming one. The first is a 2004 F350, with a blown 6.0. It's just a basic 2WD auto single cab long bed work truck. I also have a 1984 F250 with the 6.9L and 4WD C6 auto. The Super Duty is a nice truck, but I don't like 2WD, and I do...
