      In my mind hodgepodges doing it backyard without all of the equipment these gentlemen have to do it right.
      It seems like a respectable amount of thought and then planning went into all of this with each and every step.
      Any deficiencies or problems that will present in the future were dealt with expanding on the brackets and installing the gussets for extra strength and durability will last a lifetime

I learned those skills early because my dad showed me now almost 57 yrs old and I enjoyed every min with my dad! Today we still work on them together!! Kudos for teaching your boys some great skills that will guarantee them great jobs without having to spend a fortune for almost a useless degree!!

  • @bishopcorva
    @bishopcorva 6 місяців тому

    Glad that the engine cradle cross member wasn't too much of an obstacle. It's been a fair minute since I've been a part of converting a 2wd to 4wd. What I do remember about it was having to change the cradle cross member to one that was from a similar model 4wd and then oil pan as well since the old unit didn't have a bump in where it needed to be.
    While we had the room, did a dual remote oil filter setup to make changes less a matter of being elbow deep into the underside of the engine bay right next to hot exhaust. more of a pop the drain plug out, stand up and do two filters on the firewall.
    It was on a square body 1978 crew cab. Buddy Brian's dad's truck that he'd got auction bought in 1989 but let it sit at the edge of a field for the next 5 years until he had time to work on it. It was more, money to do what I want to do without the wife interfering. But it was fun and one more memory for the vault of days gone by.
    To help out with finding the engine weight compressing the springs, heavy canvas sand bags. Stack them on the front frame pieces to about the engine, trans and transfer case. That way you can more easily see just how much will be needed for either a leveling or getting a little forward rake angle. Sand bags because it's easier to move those than try to bolt and unbolt the engine you're going to be using.

    I took all my large utility trucks going to Alaska to Tulsa Truck in Tulsa Oklahoma and changed them into 4X4 positive track trucks. They loved them so much I was always had one or two being built so I could ship them on the barge it upper Alaska. When their utility lines went down they had to have trucks that would go in the snow. I always put a used rebuilt digger derricks and bucket trucks to keep the prices down plus it pissed off new sales department. They finally let me handle new 4X4 builds for the company because they knew nothing about converting a truck with different options to go into that rough country and it had to be right.

I have to say the swap from 2wd to 4wd was quite a bit more straightforward for the F150s (100% bolt in) than what you guys did on the F350, but a well equipped shop and many capable hands make light work.
