71 F-250

Post by Truckee250club »

Hi. My name is Jim, And I am 17 years old. Currently, my truck is a 1971 F-250 Custom Sport. It has a two inch lift, running 33X12.5 inch toyo open countries. It has the 390 motor, with a borg warner T-18 four speed transmission. It is 4x4, However, I need a front drive shaft. The transfer case is worn down to the point where i cannot read the model number, If anybody knows what it may be, please let me know. I am graduating High school in june, and then hopefully going to Wyotech to study diesel technoligy. I am only an amature mechanic, and any tips are gladly accepted. Thank you for your time, I'm looking forward to reading these forums.

Welcome Jim, from North Carolina. You get the chance ask the question in the drivetrain section here and the folks with the brains can help you out. :D

Nice to see another young man here who realizes how much of a pain in the butt it is to keep our trucks running, (I mean...to follow in our footsteps) LOL! You probably have a Dana 24 case, most common in the highboys. Here's a tutorial on how to ID them that might help:
