Grenaded rearend, replaced with detroit locker.
A very healthy big block and a C6 tranny with a 6" suspension lift and a 3" body lift. detroit lockers front and rear. 35" boggers. This truck is the last of true work horse trucks. Aside from the comforts of newer truck and better fuel consumtion there is no truck on the market that performs better. No truck built today will last longer.
Exactly what about this truck is still a 1979 Ford? My question is "Have you driven a Ford lately?"
I strongly agree with you my fellow ford brother. I HAVE A 1979 FORD F-150 4X4. I'm running a 300 straight 6 cylinder, backed up by a 4 speed manual tranny, twisting a np205 transfer case. I always wanted to run a np208 but I wanted to try out a 205 this run because of it being gear to gear. Do you have any input on this?
Yeah, the np205 is really really good. You have one solid truck there! The inline 6 engines are absolutely excellent. They were built for industrial applications and will run 300,000+ miles if maintained. I'd stick with your current transfer case until it dies and then replace it with a 205.
Your whole drive train is so reliable and solid it'll pobably never break on you.. and if it ever did it's cheap to fix/replace!
I have always loved these trucks, ever sence I can remember. I just bought my first one, I'm running a 351 bored 40 over, just got new heads and well that list could go on and on, but I have nothing bad to say about this truck.
