EDIT:
Before reading through this thread, this truck did not
have Disk Brakes instead the usual drum brakes.
I sent pictures to my BIL, and 2 were of Disk Brakes of a different truck, And I didn`t catch it.
When I went back to the yard, it was drums. MY Bad.
I had been reading through this long 15 pg thread on swapping Drum to Disk brakes from a newer metric
8x170 to the older 8x6.5, when I came across this 89.
Yeah this truck really got hit hard, bent that corner of the Fire Wall, Floor buckled, threshold bowed up and above door opening cab pushed up.
Amazing didn`t get into the engine or drive train.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I came across an 89 F250 7.3, with LS Differential and Disk Brakes.
It`s an automatic, so guess an E4OD? and also a GV Splitter.
So it could have the 4:10 Diff I wold guess if it has the GV.
Only plate on the Diff says 75 W140 synt oil only.
I want Disks on the rear, and when I saw this I got excited. So it should just slip right under my 86...right/no? Problems, complications?
This truck took a hard hit in the LF, but I didn`t see where it got to the engine. But things are munched pretty good. Shows 95K so probably 195K, and engine looks pretty clean, and it was a driver at the time.
Seriously thinking of Saws All the sheet metal on the L/F and unbolt the core on the other side and drag the engine out.
