? about 84 body/drivetrain combos

[fury9]

I went to look at a beast. I was told it's an 84 f350?. IT is a gasser (460). The body is a CC DR 4x4. My question is, it did not look to be a d60 out front, was there ever a time when f350 came with the twin ibeam?. I didn't get the vin (stupid) or bring a flashlight. It was getting dark fast. The truck was loaded with crap,inside and out, and had the graphics down the side. You know that 80 style.Truck is southern, what would be a red flag when I go to look in better detail, underneath, inside,etc... I am right on the verge of selling the 94 to fund an IDI swap into this if I do get it.Sorry no pics.Body is straight and clean (tailgate too) front clip has been replaced and is sitting in black primer, for some time now.

80-85, the F350's had the D50ttb, 85.5 is the magic number for a D60.

DANG IT! I guess the guy was right then, it is an F350, I just didn't know without the d60. Well I really like the truck, what should I look for that would say no no, don't do it? Supposedly it is driveable

I believe they also had a lower GVWR when they were TTB

Rotted rad suport, spring hangers, diff cover, rockers, floors, door bottoms, You know, the usual spots. Mechanicaly. Who cares, you are pulling it out. I wouldn't pay more than 2k for it.

My neighbor has a 86 F350 crew cab w a 351 and c6 that is rotted to hell and he wants 35oo for it, He thinks its worth so much cuz it has 4 new BFG all terrains from 6 years ago, the dry rot craks are as deep as the brand new tread

I have that exact truck. GVWR listed on the door is 9300 pounds. That is with a Dana 60 rear. I believe in 84 it could also have a Streling 10.25".

My 80 F350 w the D50 TTB has a GVW of 9900
