There is a truck VERY similar to the one listed by me on craigs list for 2500. It is not a 18,000mile beauty quean but it is a diesel 4wd F800. It is meant to be used

 

[riotwarrior]

about sums up my attitude....

 

[Clydesdale]

Its a Ford 7.8 litre diesel, commonly found in medium duty trucks of that vintage...............cool I-6 engine.

Same one going in mahbeasty....

 

[Clydesdale]

ANd that one will have a p-pump for you hotrodders out there.

[Diesel_brad]

where?

I looked for the post last night.but couldnt find it. It is in the poconos. 4x4 retired town truck, Used to have plow and dump body. Rusty but you would save $29,000 over that ebay truck

I've always loved those Marmon-Harrington 4WD Ford conversions, they look so cool!

One thing that's funny is that truck has the exact same interior as our '97 (newer body style) F800.


BTW- to the CDL comments...I don't know about other states but here in WV at least if you were driving that truck for person use you would need nothing whatsoever to drive it. Air brakes don't need an endorsement here that I know of (I don't have anything other than a Class F to drive our truck at work)

I'm wondering though, could you take that one in and register it at 26K or are you not allowed to do that?

HOLY CRAP! That thing is frickin' awesome!!

And so why don't we see any repower threads involving this plant?

 

[mattplumber]

I would think because its MASSIVE! Would be a tight cram into an OBS engine compartment, but i'm sure it can be done- and someone, somewhere has I'm sure...............

I am very interested in the 7.8 swap. I can buy a whole running 7.8 5 speed truck for a song off my buddy and scrap what I do not use.

Is the 7.8 bigger than a dt466 in lenth or height?

I have had this project on the back burner for a while.
