1995 4.9L from F-150. Completely transplanted, including computer, air filter, y-pipe, & all accessories. 130A alternator, 1996 Bronco gas tank & pump. K&N drop-in.
Drivetrain:
1978 F-250 NP-435; '84 NP-208F; Six States rear d'shaft; rebuilt front d'shaft; '96 Bronco D44IFS with original rebuilt '83 diff 3.07; rebuilt Ford 8.8" 3.08; F&R antisway bars & Energy polyurethane bushings all around.
Notes:
The body tub is an '82, the tailgate is a '96, the doors are '80 & '94 with '94 power mirrors, the front clip is '84, and the camper shell is a '96 with a '94 Explorer roof rack & '82 sliding windows. The rear seat & dash are the original '83 parts, but the instrument cluster has been heavily modified with '88 fuel & volt gauges and a '94 PSOM. The front seats are mixed captain's chairs and the door panels are '93 XLTs with PM, PW, & PL. I've added autolamps, an auto-dimming compass rear-view mirror, aftermarket remote keyless entry. The CB, scanner, & radar detector are hard-wired and mounted overhead. Planned mods include auto-dimming brights, & 4WABS with Traction Control. The bumpers are my own design (mostly hand-built). The front has been powdercoated & includes a fold-down grille guard, energy-absorbing push bumpers, fog lights, 2 storage boxes, recovery points, a spoiler, & a winch mount. I got the Ramsey RE12000 I've always wanted in 7/09. The rear bumper has an integral hitch receiver & 3 locking storage boxes.
Earlier visors lacked the inboard support clip (04132). Dual visors became available in '95.

YokeCheater.JPG 31 hits | 58.66 KB | Posted: 1/3/10 After swapping the '84 in during a dry spell yesterday (27°F), the rear d'shaft wouldn't mate up. Turns out the yoke on the '84 is larger, so I pulled its nut & left it in-place (to hold in the fluid I had just changed) while I pulled the '83 yoke....

I can't remember the donor's engine/trans/wheelbase/chassis configuration that necessitated the resonance weight, but I'll probably leave...
83NP208F.JPG 33 hits | 78.82 KB | Posted: 1/3/10 This is one of the last original parts on the truck, and after ~450Kmi (I've swapped the speedo several times), it finally gave out. It had been noisy for the past year, and just after welding the front diff, something happened... It began making a...
