If you're interested in building a "bastard spring pack", F350 rear springs from late 80's to early 90's have more arch than the stock Van. That's the route I went for both a little lift and slightly more spring rate. If you need more, add another spring. It's a PITA but well worth the outcome...

I did 2000+ GM truck seats with the belts built into the seats on swivel bases. There's a little fab required due to the Ford floor.

Your really at the mercy of the previous owner(s) as to how they maintained the engine. Best this you can do is keep up on the maintenance and hope for the best. I recently bought a '96 with 303k miles and didn't think twice about mileage. It is what it is. Cheers.

What's the deal with adding cruise control? Are the vans already pre-wired?

Do yourself a favor and get a low stall billet triple disc converter. Night and day difference how a low stall converter will put the power to the ground rather than feeling like a slipping clutch and going nowhere. Shift kit is a nice addition too.

Thats weird. I have a 90 F-250 4x4 and it rides far better than my 2000 Excursion 4x4 in the front. Both rigs are stock.

That 66 is sitting on an 87 Chevy 1ton frame with a warmed over Cummins 5.9, 6spd, NP205, Dana60 front and 14bolt rear. Fun to drive:smiley_drive:

Take a look at the 2nd Gen Dodge pitman arm. It's a factory drop.

What springs and shocks did you use? I want to increase the ride height of my 240D.

Nice. The 7.3 is a stout engine.

What year, how many miles and what engine do you have. Thanks.

Buy a #10 plate and some 3K rpm Gov'nr springs and you'll love that truck. I had a 95 (175hp) 5spd and those mods really woke it up.

Great to see the truck still chuggin' along.

Run a heavy valved gas shock and you should be OK.

You gonna beef up that frame where you trimed it for the A/C compressor and dampner?

Its a Ford.

Fantastic build man!:beer: Just went through the post and found myself finally deciding on what to do with all this junk laying around. I've got a 92 D250 with a Cummins and a D60 from a 86 GMC. Guess what:smiley_drive: Its 4x4 time. Any more up dates?
