    Front spring shackle bushings

    Can anyone help me find a part number for the front leaf spring front upper shackle bushing. I have replaced the 2 main ones on the leafs but no one can seem to find me the smaller ones for the shackles. It’s for a 1983 F-250 with the Dana 50 axle. My local supply store sells Moog. Thanks.

    What would you check

    I just picked up this 85 6.9 that was supposedly rebuilt for a truck 15 years ago and then never got used.

    I can’t switch from vents to defrost

    83 F-250 and I can’t get it to switch to my defrost vents. The front slider moves fine. I think something is unhooked but I just can’t find any rods that aren’t hooked to anything. Anyone know where the selector is in the dash?

    Fuel leak fixed. Couple other questions now 1983 6.9

    Hi all I bought this old truck to build into a bush truck snowmobile hauler. I like the simplicity of these engines that’s why I picked this truck.
