hi my name is rick and im new to this hole thing but i have a 77 f150 with a 460 and its 2wd and i also have a 86 f250 4x4 that the 460s bad in and i whant to put the cab and motor of my 77 on the 86 frame i was looking for any comments or advice on this project i dount whant to run into any surprises

 

Did you concider swaping the tranny and front axle(for the 4wheel drive) out of the '86 and putting it on the '77.
Because i have an '86 and '84 and i am currently doing a 4x4 swap. and the front axle drops out quite easily.
Let me know how the project goes!

 

ya i did consider that but wouldnt it be a big pain to put that f250 independint front axil with leaf springs in the f150 frame thats ment for coil springs and a solid axil anyways

 

i herd that the 86 frame is wider than the 77s is this true

 

Oh, okay, i didn't realize that it had leaf springs in the front, i thought it would have twin I beam

 

if your talking about the 86 it is ttb but its a f250 ttb so it has the leafs.my 77 has twin beam but 2wd and coil spring. if i had the money i would just get a dana 44 and a transfer out of a f150, but i dount and i have to have a 4x4 but if any one wants, all trade the f250 for the d44 and transfer and i appreciate your advice fordnut84 no one els it seams has any thing to say

 

yup, no problem... and sorry im not sure if the frames are wider from a '77 to an '86. Im reeally into 80-86 and 90-96 but i'll ask around, and i'll check on a D44 for you

 

cool thank im actuly like the 78-79 body stile but hay i hav a ford and im happy i rolled arond in a gmc after my 78 f150 threw a rod but it had 500 thosand on it so i cant blame it lol
