    Source for new 7.3 IDI engine?

    Would you entertain the idea of a 6.9 in your pickup? What transmission do you have?

    Fighting the noise

    That's pretty interesting. Do you have a premium sound package in your van? Mine came with a premium sound system, and I've often wondered if that included the sound deadening materials around the van. There is a foam mat in many places behind the interior trim. It's different than that...

    '88 e250, which shocks?

    I bought one from the bone yard off a newer ('96 maybe) Ford Van. It literally takes just a few minutes to take off the old van. I eyeballed up the bracket that mounts to the frame and drilled and tapped the holes in the frame. Then had to shim the bracket with some washers to accommodate...

    3/4 ton Bronco

    Thanks fellows, I was hoping I could get away from that affect by the weight involved, but I'm sure you're right. It sure would be handy...family hauler, old iron hauler, snow plow, good mileage. I'll have to think about it some more. Thanks again. Much appreciated. Paul

    '88 e250, which shocks?

    For what it's worth I have a 88 E350 extended van 460 (same color as yours). I just put shocks on it this winter and went with Monroe from Summit. When I changed them all out I also bought a front stabilizer assembly from a newer van and installed with a new Monroe stabilizer shock. It does...

    Super cab owners...

    Hi there, I used Energy Suspension poly bushings on the cab and everything lined up without shims. What bushings did you use? Only curious. I think shimming the bed is the right thing to do. Paul

    3/4 ton Bronco

    Hello folks, I'm hoping some of you can talk me off the fence (with experience or constructive criticism). I'm about due for a new vehicle. I have a wife and two kids (booster seats). I'm looking for something I can use for my family but also as a gooseneck hauler. My wife doesn't like...

    Project Red Cent

    Pretty sweet looking build Rob! Like everything you have done in the past it is top notch so far. Are we going to get any more examples of your casting abilities on this build? Thanks for posting, Paul

    85 cclb f350 cumapart swap

    Hello Brendon, How's she been working for you? You get the ladder bars in and have you pulled a trailer with it yet? Haven't heard much from you. Just curious how you're doing. Thank you for all of your work, Paul

    New transmission time

    I'm pretty sure I'm the one that led you to this rebuilder. I'm within an hour and a half from them and if you need anything please let me know. I don't have personal experience with them except on the phone. I have an acquaintance that owns his own garage that used to work as a mechanic for...

    2WD to 4WD straight axle conversion guidance

    Hello, Sort of skimmed the thread here, but it looks like you haven't bought parts for this yet. I believe Calvin has everything you need for the conversion in the marketplace, except maybe hangers and shackles. His price is pretty good. I bought the springs, axle, traction bar, front...
