this design allows you to still drive your truck even if you break an axle shaft. the wheel and hub assembly is still attached to the axle even when you pull the axle shaft out.

i have a 78 F250 4x4, mine is a 4 speed though and gasket is no longer available. permatex makes a RTV gasket maker just for use with gear oil, you may want to give it a try.

any welding / fab shop can make new ones for you, i also have a 78 F250 4x4 and made new ones myself for mine.

i just did this exact swap, used a 2 wheel drive cab on my 4 wheel drive frame. i have a 4 speed though. donor cab was an automatic. i just cut the top of the tunnel as per needed to clear everything while still making sure that the tunnel plate can be properly secured.

maybe these guys can help ....http://www.jackit.com/ene-4-2130g.html

very tempting but i'll hold on to them a bit longer lol.

pretty sure that i have the center caps and possibly the lug nuts as well. curiouse as to how much they are worth but not sure if i'm ready to part with them just yet.

does anyone have an idea of what these might be worth ? found them in the attic of my garage, for got i even had them lol. anways just wanting to know what kind of value they might hold.

just found these in the attic of my garage ...

had a 68 f 250 and a 74 f250, both were completely rotted but still wish i had them now.

sent you a pm.

LOL i was kidding man, but it does look awesome. i've been searching the forums on how to do it for a while now, like you said very labor intensive. i wonder if anyone is making these in the steel version like our grill shells are now being made...?

hey still looking for that shock mount? might be able to help you out.

wow that looks awesome, how much to do mine ?
