I have a dana 44 out of a 76 quadravan under my 86 diesel van. I am in need of a steering dampener but not sure where to begin looking. I'm pretty sure the axle is the same as a 75 ford truck but it has chevy parts on both ends. Hoping someone out there can throw me a part # or a brand I should...

I have a 86 ford 6.9 diesel that I put a zf5(five-speed) into when I swapped it to a 4x4. I love it. I get better gas milage than I did with the e40d with no od and two wheel drive. The hardest part was finding a clutch pedal. Ford made a 1/2 ton 3 on the tree econoline in the early '80s. I...

Hello Folks, I have a aftermarket tubular crossmember for a 460 out of a 75 ford e250 pathfinder conversion that I'm not gonna be using. When I looked in the for sale section I didn't see any parts section so I'm not sure if this is where I should post something like that.:victory:

I'm about to move to alaska with my wvo diesel van so I've been giving this alot of thought. Ideally I would like to get an espar or similar unit but they are pretty pricey. As a less expensive solution I was thinking about getting a used hot water heater from an R.V.(maybe the propane tank too...

I have a slider and wish everyday that it was barn doors for all of the previously mentioned reasons. From my experience the sliders always rattle.

There is a sweet one for sale on seattle craigslist right now. It has the old 6.9 diesel with a turbo. VUCK YEAH!!!!!

Here's Gary Here is a 4x4 chassis from a '76 e-250 pathfinder conversion. Not sure how this is gonna all work with a big diesel engine.

Finally got some pictures................. heres my new zf5

Thanks Herbie thats awsome.

So I just made the score I've been looking for. I bought a 1976 e-250 pathfinder 4x4 chassis. It's only a dana 44 but oh well.coil sprung. Looks like a pretty easy bolt on but I'm gonna need to refurbish some of the parts. Does anyone know a source for pathfinder parts? Oh yeah. I also just...

Here are some pics finally I hope

Hey thanks for the reply. No worries about the time issue. I've been on some road trips and my computer has been down.

Thanks RotBox Are you aware of any automatic transmissions with an overdrive that will bolt to these motors. I would love to have the manual but I don't wanna bother with the slave cylinder and clutch pedal. An automatic seems like it could be done in very little time. What about something...

Well bad news. I didn't jump on the truck from cl quick enough and the guy sold it out from under me while I was on the way to his house.:( Next time I'll just show up for my axle 2 hours early. Let the search continue. I finally got my camera back and shot a couple pics of my van but I can't...

The donor truck has a blown up 7.3. My van only has 150,000 or so and the engine runs really sweet. I've replaced almost all the goodies( alternator, fuel pump, vacuum pump.......). Sorry about pics but I sent my camera in to get fixed and it should be back any day now. Wouldn't you know as...

I think I found the donor truck on cr. It's an 89 f-350 4x4 with dana 60 front axle, 7.3 idi diesel, a 5 speed tranny(yeah!) and 411 gea ratio. The truck is already leaf sprung and it had the tranny rebuilt 10,000 miles ago. This sounds to good to be true. Please somebody tell me that this...

There is a good chance that I will be moving to alaska for a couple of years in a year or so. In the meantime I've been thinking about a trip to copper canyon in Mexico. I'm really looking for it to handle better in deep snow because thats when I really wanna drive deep into the cascades for...

Thanks for the good ideas. My tank will probably be in the way no matter how I hook up a transfercase. It's also the one that houses my WVO so I am probably gonna need to put a custom tank on the other side of the driveshaft. I am just waiting for a nice day to take some pics of Gary(my van)so...

Wow that was quick. Thanks My plan is to find the parts out of a f-350 4x4 probably from the eighties and rebuilding the axle and transfercase. I'm sure a project like this is gonna take alot of cutting and welding. Luckily I've got a machinest I can trade carpentry work with. As far as the...
