84 F-250 full rebuild
All this gave me about 1/8 inch clearance from the hub on both the spring and adjuster. It looks like to service the parking brake I'll have to pull the hubs unless I get really creative, but thats something I'm willing to live with. I finished welding all the way around the bracket, painted...- Leewhiskey

84 F-250 full rebuild
On to the shoe modifications, I will try to be thorough. This was a tedious process, I’ll bet I had the shoes on and off the backing plates 20 times checking fit with the hub, but I know it would take a lot less time now that I know what needs to be done. Since I’ll have a stickshift I wanted a...- Leewhiskey

84 F-250 full rebuild
It’s been a busy week but I’ve managed to get the rear axle done and ready to go under the truck. The parking brake assemblies, rotors and calipers for this conversion came from an 2006 E-350 with the semi floating dana 60 rear. The E-250s are the same from everything I found. The parking shoes...- Leewhiskey

84 F-250 full rebuild
The rear axle is back from the rebuild shop. New gears, new yoke, new clutchs... Once I get the brake brackets from the waterjet I'll finish putting it together. Turns out changing over to the 95-97 front brakes on a kingpin axle is a rather big PIA. It looks possible if you really want them...- Leewhiskey

84 F-250 full rebuild
I'll do my best with pics, especially when I'm doing things others may want to copy. My determination goes to about 0 degrees, lower than that its hard for the heater to keep up in the shop, especially with as windy as it's been. Fortunately I had found out the firewall's were not the same...- Leewhiskey

84 F-250 full rebuild
So this winter after a year and a half of this truck being in my shed I have finally made the time to get to this project. It starts with an 84 F250, 4x4 diesel with the 4spd and 4.10s. It currently has a bad knock in the engine. I plan to use it for a daily driver, so longevity and reliability...- Leewhiskey

New from MN
In the summer of 2020 I had a chance to purchase a copy of my first truck. 1984 F250 4x4 diesel with the 4spd, not a lot of rust for a MN truck and in really nice shape overall. Price was way too good to pass up even though I had no time to work on it. Something is knocking in the engine and...- Leewhiskey
