    That's good information to have about the harness. Wow that is some kind of special going on in that door! Previous owner must have been one of those craigslist professional carpenters. I hate going back behind thoes people to fix things they have "fixed".

    New to me f350 what to do

    If the truck is cranking good(that is subject to these trucks as they actually have to turn over strangely fast) I would put the know good battery on the passenger side and hook a running truck or jump box to it and give the truck a shot of either (assuming you have glow plugs disconnected) and...

    4x4 Conversion - Hole for Transfer Case Shifter?

    I haven't made it back over to my parts truck as I had planned. But I should be able to get to it tomorrow or the next day and I will get some measurements and pictures of the transfer case opening. Just didn't want you to think I forgot.

    I will check the spot welds and see if they line up. When I was looking at panels I was looking at raybucks because I read in a restoration page somewhere that their panels were thinner and closer to factory. I don't know if that is true as I haven't had dealings with either company. But at the...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I drove mine for the firstime for any distance. Only ever been around the block a couple times while I was fighting the stalling between gears issue. After a fuel system flush it now doesn't stall. So I drove it 5 miles from my dads house to mine so I can start cutting the rusted floor sections out.

    Copper Looking Glitter in New Oil!

    Whatever it is I would bet it shouldn't be there. Perhaps a problem with a piece of production machinery caused that contamination. If I put that oil in my truck I would be taking it right back out and flushing to get as much out as I could. In my experience if their is a addictive that settles...

    What is this on my precups?

    Is it white or silver? In the photo it looks like stuck on head gasket material.

    Yeah I know that may be a possibility. I was planning on testing one of the door panels yesterday but then I ran into fairly bad rust in the floorboards in my 90. I will be pulling a door panel and testing the closure of the door before I go through the trouble of swapping everything.

    I know the interiors are different. And the 90 is Manuel windows and the plan is to try to swap the door panels from the 93 into the 90.

    4x4 Conversion - Hole for Transfer Case Shifter?

    Here is a picture from a 1993 that was a ZF5 and 4x4. I assume it had the same transfer case. I can get dimensions for you tomorrow.

    I haven't started cutting the floors out of the two trucks yet. But I am wondering and looking for advice from those who have replaced floors. How difficult will it be to remove the floor sections from the 93 parts truck? I know there is a stiffener that runs down each side and the floor is spot...

    Well that's good news. I have been sidetracked by the rust in my floorboards. So now I am cutting floorboard sections out before I get back to the interior swap. But I hope the 1993 is similar to the 90 to remove that harness.

    This is true for the inside. I worry more about the outside of the lap and road moisture getting in and rusting between the panels. But I guess after I weld it I can prim and use steam sealer and then paint. Then I at least have a couple layers of protection.

    when welding the floor boards in I have see people butt weld them and then people who over lap the panels by 1/2" to 1" and weld top and bottom. Who has done these and what do you like? The overlap sounds like it would add strength but it could also add a water trap that could rust again.

    I am going to pull the cowl because I think that's where the water is coming from because the rust starts up by the firewall.
