    Anyone know how much cooling is required for the multi fuels. Wondering if I could use a aluminum radiator shaped like the grill and electric fans. I don't have much room to work with. If I want to put the front end back to normal I got maybe 6 inches which don't leave me squat really.

    Very little is the goal. I know these old engines are known for leaking. If thru aren't then there out of oil.

    Danger you hit it on the head. I want to get it running and in good operating condition with very little leaks or none. I'm going to see what I can do with the radiator. Might have to mount it in bed. I know theirs bolt on fenders to make the bed a true dually bed. Going to paint it after I get...

    Not sure what blem batteries are. I know the battery tray had 24 series batteries in it which are only rated at 550 cca. I have to inlarge the battery tray to fit a normal size truck battery in there.

    Reviving the 83 ford with LDS 5 ton drive line

    That would be awesome. I've never driven it myself. Before I can do much more tho I need 2 batteries. Those are not cheap. I work at autozone and I can get the AGM batteries for about 125 a piece. Anyone know of awesome batteries for cheaper

    As of right now I found Napa filters to use with the stock setup. Going to order a gallon jug of seafoam hopefully in the next week and use it to flush the fuel system. Next is the engine oil and filters. Main problem is money. With holidays and all money is tight. Hoping for new job with better...

    Reviving the 83 ford with LDS 5 ton drive line

    Ok the more I look into this the more I realize I can't afford to take care of this drive line, im tempted to traded it out for a Cummins 6BTA and a world series allison, I know it be some work but I would be able to afford the up keep and I'm very very familiar with them, anyone want to throw...

    Reviving the 83 ford with LDS 5 ton drive line

    You maybe right the rear end says V170A on the tag which according to ford is out of a 85-86 ford F350 and is a 10.25 dia. ring gear with a 4.10 ratio. I think the title says 89 tho and again i might not remember it right, ill check the vin on the truck as well as the id plate and title, as you...

    I know some of you all wanted to know what trans as u wanted a auto for your deuce. From what i found this is a 6 speed auto with lock up. They were in several different trucks, mainly the XM757. They where 8x8 so i imagine it had a T case on it or a divorced T case. Cranetruck could probably...
