Well i've been bothering you guys in here for a wee while now and have been kicking this idea around of swapping a c/cab onto my r/cab 87 f150. It would be preferable and much simpler to just get myself an f350 c/c 4wd but the way our laws are setup out here that would mean the truck would probably owe me more than $35k by the time i got it converted to rhd and certed for it's weight class plus our obsession with small cars means i'd never get the thing to fit in a supermarket car park.
I'm putting together a list of parts i'll need to get on our next trip over to the States and i'd like to ask you guy's to have a look at it and tell me what i've missed or what you think i'd need if you could.
The list so far:
Crew cab preferably 87-97
4x4 axle plus both driveshafts
Zf5 incl transfer case plus shift levers and floor plates – already have manual pedal box assembly.
IDI incl or plus turbo 6.9 or 7.3?
H.D front springs from diesel f250 4wd - $80/pr from rockauto
New shocks for front
Diesel radiator core support
Extra battery tray
