Good day with an unexpected score

[Ottoparts]

So a buddy and I decide to go to the local U-Pull-It to see of we can find an unmarried NP205 out of a Ford. We weren't expecting to find one, but we did. Good times for my buddy.
While he is crawling under neath the truck to retrieve the 205, I happen to notice a brick nose right next to us. I open the hood and what do I see......
I see a 7.3 IDI mostly intact with a brand new glow plug relay (cant tell by the picture, but it is brand new). I'm no dummy and snag it
I start looking the truck over and notice it has a Hydro-boost on it. I was thinking to myself that there is no way this is correct. I go look at the sticker in the door jam. Sure enough, GVW is 14400lbs and it's a F450.
Needless to say, that hydro boost is now in my garage.
Total price for the glow plug relay, hydro-boost, and power steering pump was $40 bucks.
Not to bad of a day if I say so myself.

Nice that hydroboost setup sounds exceptionally good score

Good deal!. I've on;y seen those hydroboost setups in the boneyard twice and both times it was when I went with just a pocket full of tools to get something specific while out running other errands( and it's better than a 90 mile round trip back to the house to get tools) just can't loose the day to fool with it , and next time into town the thing is long gone

Good score indeed... I see a two-groove PS pump pulley - was the truck non-A/C from the factory?

Also, and this is very important, what truck was the one you took the divorced NP205 out of? I'm thinking of converting to 4x4, but I want to keep my 2wd trans, so a divorced t-case is about the only option I got to make this work...

 

[Alex S]

Ya my non ac truck has the twin pully as well but no idea why ???

IH used divorced 200 202 and 205 is you come across a passenger drop D-60 cheap

 

[LCAM-01XA]

Alex, I was thinking more along the lines of D50, as they are cheap and easy to obtain. I don't need the 4x4 for crazy offroading, but to get me though wet/muddy fields and snowy roads when I have the double- or tri-ax hooked up.

 

[Ottoparts]

Yes, the truck was a non A/C truck. It was a 1990 F450.

We got the divorced NP205 out of an 1973 or 1974 (i do not remember the year) Factory Highboy. it was an option. That or the Dana 24.

Thanks for info - now I only need to find one of these rare beasts... haha!

BOO HISS!! You cut the harness. Why? You already had a tool to unbolt the controller.

 

[LCAM-01XA]

BOO HISS!!

 

[Ottoparts]

I wasn't the first.
The harness was already butchered. I, myself try not to tear stuff up. 99% of the time I pull parts the honest way.
