    I have 4wd hubcaps for that pickup. I had a 96 F350 with plow.

      Pull 351W out of F-250 (depending on year, '95-'97 roller block) and install into CV with better parts (go-fast)? Then install 460 into F-250? Not practical for the F-250, but would be fun.

              Truck appears to be rust free?

              Is it a stick?

              Needs a D60 swap, and white steelies with agressive treads.

                Rusty but no frame rot. Driver's cab corner and floor. Sadly isn't stick. It's a choked out 351 that stalls at WOT and can't climb hills... Trying to figure that out..
                the EGR tube was non-existant. Manifold had this tub coming from the back that came up to the top of the engine in the rear, not hooked to anything.. Hmm.. Has 4 new plugs and wires (Haven't gotten to the rest yet)..

                Picked up a new tire for the 06, used Pirelli scorpion. Likes to spin alot easier than my BFGs.. One tire is starting to show threads on the inside. Car is sold and I told the guy that I'd atleast fix the shredded tire. Plans to put snows on it anyways.

                  check for a melted converter. That will make it do that stuff. For extra fun, the test is to unbolt the exhaust an go for a rip. If it doesn't find the problem, at least its fun.

                    Sounds a lot like my family's '79 250. Still haven't figured it out. Trying to sell it to somebody who actually knows what they're doing, and has money to do it. Ours works fine up to about 35-45mph, but stalls if you give it too much. As the engine warms up, it stalls lower and lower until it won't run at all.

                    Looks like a nice truck, a lot better shape than ours and probably much more worth fixing.

                      It'll do it when it's just sitting there in park.. I believe it to be a TPS and maybe the timing is way off? Fuel pump could be bad? So much to check... No time..

                      Yeah it's dented up but it's a truck and it was bought to use as a real truck.. Just needs to run right.

                        When was the fuel filter last changed? Clould be clogged up, acts like it does with a clogged cat, could be either, those are the first two I check when it's bogged down.

                          I've been planning to bang on the cat or just take it off to see if it'll run better.. It's got brand new fuel lines and a fuel filter from the last owner..

                            pressure test would tell it too. if the line inside the tank is cracked or the pump is half shot, you'll see it.

                              I'm pretty dead set that it's the EGR tube that I'm waiting on the parts store to get in. I'd assume that'd make it run quite shitty. Guess we'll see.

                              ` Lapped the valves on the 'new' 40 heads, they already have new springs, valves and seals. They weren't too bad but I lapped them anyways.
                              ` Chased the head bolt holes out on the shortblock, need to go buy a helicoil for one that was stripped by the past owner..
                              ` Installed one head, oiled the bolt heads and followed proper torque pattern and specs. 351 - 95lbs 302 - 65lbs must be all that power, needs to be contained y'know?
                              ` Painted most of driver's front portion of frame rails with gloss black.. Pretty.. still need to do passenger's side and disassemble the LCAs and UCAs

                              May go to the salvage yard tuesday since no school (woo...) See about a 79' wagon they got in that's untouched. Then may go to another salvage yard to pickup BB parts..

                              Raw thoughts, don't mind my rambling
