well it has been a few years and I still have not fixed it. Truck gets only a few hundred miles a year so never worried about it. Now I am going to a new inspection shop closer to home and I know they are going to check it. I have the horn bar installed. occasionally if the wheel is turned...
Have a 74 f350 but live in NY and on the title it says dump truck. I have state farm right now and the rates are reasonable but high on my other policies. whenever I try to switch the dump stops me from doing so. other companies can beat all my policies expect the dump always more then double...

This whole project started because I was putting a single wheel on the rear to store truck for the winter and 4 of 8 studs spun and I had to torch off.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk
Well truck is all back togeather. Put new shoes, hardware, and wheel cylinders in. Had to do 8 new wheel studs on right side. Rims were loose on the truck one time when it had 3 ton of stone in the back. That is why the studs spun in the hole. Luckily Dorman had a 9/16 stud with a larger...
Well talking to a couple stores look like only one drum is available for the dually non super cab. But it looks like you have to get all the wheel studs out to put on the drum anyone know how these go togeather or have a diagram. This whole project started when 4 studs spun while trying to...
Well need to do rear breaks on the truck. If I go to the local part store is some dumb kid going to look up and get me the right parts. We're there different rear ends used that will cause issues finding parts.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk
After taking the shifter off I think the noise is the synchro shell hitting 4th hear. Going to see if I can pop off my neighbors to see how much play is in his.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk
My 74 ford 350 dump with an np453 is making a noise in 3 gear. It almost sounds like a hammer tapping sheet metal. Not constant and only when on the throttle not when off the gas. And ideas would be appreciated. Started about 30 miles ago.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk
Trying to get the dump truck ready for its NYS inspection but having horn issues. If I pull the button and hit the terminal in the steering colum and ground it anywhere on the body the horn works but it's not grounding through the center of the steering colum. Just finishing up a cab swap so...
I am looking for a stainless set of tow mirrors for my 74 dump. I have the original white ones I painted black but there in sad shape. Would like to find nicer ones before I drill holes in the doors. Any ideas were to look.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

I got rooms from an 89 f350 hoping to get lug nuts tonight then I can get them on but still need to find son 7.5 16 6 ply tires to go along with what I already haveSent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk
Coming along its running but need a new thermostat housing picking it up later today. Next I need to figure out how to upgrade from the split rims.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk
Main reason I want to get rid of them is there pretty sad shape bent up and can't find a shop that wants to work on them without wanting to charge way to much.
Update and a question. Ordered inner fenders and rad support from lmc truck. Frame was cleaned hope to get paint on it this weekend then if time permits drop the cab on it. After that things should move along faster.The question I have is this truck has split rims on it. I have a set of...
Checked out the cab last night and there are marks for the other set of mounts So Should not be to bad to do. The radiator support is on stock with lmc for the correct one i need. The fendre aprons looks like they need some patching were they bolt to the rad support but otherwise in good...
Well the supplier told the shop they could get the parts but they cant. Trying a couple other suppliers otherwise LMC has them Just trying to avoid freight charges. Pics in current state in garage.
Well parts should be in by next week. Brother in law is finishing paint this week so by the time i pull the old cab off and swap on the new weather should be nice again. Will post pics when i get back in town.
Talked to my body shop they were able to get me the support and innerfenders. Also It appers the cab has the enough support just needs holes drilled.Thought about putting the tank under It but with the dump set up keeping It the cab is easier.Thanks for all the info
Hi everyone,I am new to the forum but am hoping you all can help me with some issues i have ran into on my cab swap.First off the truck is a 74 F-350 but the cab came off a 250 and i believe it is a high boy. The rear cab mounts are farther inboard then the old cab. Can i just drill new...
