    Sd front leaf swap to a 97 f350??

    off road unlimited's kit is 2.5-3'' and that is the shortest one i've seen. how much lift do you plan to get from the s/d springs? i've only seen coilsprung ttb trucks with solid axle swaps use s/d springs, and it looks like they end up with about a 6'' lift from it.if you are trying to do...

    How to use Overdrive?

    as been said, leave the overdrive off for in town driving. if you don't plan to go faster than 55 you don't need it. it's the weakest gear in a tranny, and you gain nothing but excess heat build up by using it at lower speeds.

    fuel sending unit filter

    yes, except mine is black and rust with a sprinkle of crust thrown in for character. the only way i could get water to flow through it was at the blown out seem on the side.

    fuel sending unit filter

    yes, i already said they were the only place i could find them. i don't want to wait for shipping.i guess i'll just stick with the rig i made then.well that sucks. maybe i'll still look into it, but i doubt it.

    fuel sending unit filter

    if you can find it that would be awesome. i just tried all the sites and still came back with the same results. the only thing that pops up is the screw in carb filter or sorry no results.

    fuel sending unit filter

    doubtful unless they have a magic trick that partsguyed doesn't know. they wanted $7, so i'll be damned if i'd pay $22 for a 4''x1.5'' filter.you sure? i'll check, but i avoid them and there site. i hate autozone.

    Bronco Fuel tank swap

    this goes along with a recent question of mine. my bronco didn't have bottom straps holding the tank in. as far as i remember my other 78 bronc did. this current one only had top straps and the skidplate holding it in. let me know what you find when you get a bronco tank, because paul couldn't...

    that's what my dad did. don't know how much he paid, but he is cheap as all hell, so it couldn't have been much.

    9 In rear.

    it was just bad all together. a choked down emissions 460 is not a happy motor to begin with. was a nice truck, but that particular setup left a lot to be desired, was hard to believe it had a big block under the hood.

    9 In rear.

    don't worry about what year it is for the 80's trucks, just take a look. easy as that. an 8.8 has a cover. a 9'' doesn't. there is no way in hell you could mistake them. and the tags are dead simple to read to know what you are getting. if i were you i'd be looking for a 9'' with a tag reading...
