I'm trying to take 2 trucks and make them into one solid 1990 F150 Xlt Lariat 4x4 LWB. Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with either A - cab/bed swap(2wd cab onto 4x4 frame or B - 4x4 Swapping what is originally a 2wd chassis. I've read the 2wd cab has a different trans tunnel than it's counterpart. As well as the 2wd frame would have to be modified to swap over the 4x4 drivetrain.

Completely rust free truck cab/bed and frame

Picked up it up with a supposed knock in the engine and slipping trans for $600. Turned out to be loose nuts that hold the torque converter to the flex plate. Tightened them up and it drove as it should.

Rust bucket all over but the drivetrain is completely solid

During the Jan Tennessee ice storm a giant tree limb fell on the cab crushing the roof of the cab, door, A pillar and windshield beyond just a simple fix which resulted in me picking it up for a steal. $1000.

Just referencing prices to state that I won't be too deep into the project and both trucks should contain 99% of the parts that I need. I have titles for both trucks along with decent dashes in each so vins aren't an issue.

Just wondering what would be the easiest route. Seems to be the cab swap. Just asking for any input. Thanks

Here is the project my dad and I have dedicated the past several years to. Pictures are in no particular order and only show a fraction of the work we put into this truck. This 1969 short bed bump was purchased from the original family, and lived its life as a farm truck in Mississippi where it as passed down through 3 generations before being parked under a farm shed. It started as a 240 straight-6 with a 3-speed column shift and a radio, nothing else. We refreshed the original motor with new seals and enough TLC to get it on the road. We ended up tearing it down to the block and taking it to the machine shop, but they weren’t able to salvage it. That’s where the craziness begins. Before you know it, we had the entire truck torn apart with 2 frame rails sitting in front of us. We opted for a full QA1 setup front and rear, so lots of rivets to drill out, c-notch the rear, and cut out the original engine cradle. Brakes were upgraded to Wilwood 6-pistons and sitting on American Racing VN510’s wrapped in Michelin Sport 4S’. Of course, you have to have some rumble under the hood with a little power, so why not go for a 408W stroker? We picked up the complete engine from BluePrint, and the dyno sheet showed ~485hp/525tq and you feel every bit of it throughout the power band. To handle the power, we settled on a Tremec TKX 5-speed close ratio gearbox mated to a Spec Stage 2+ clutch/pressure plate kit. In the rear, a Speedway Motors 3.73 LSD with Quick Performance axels. All wiring was replaced with a new American Autowire harness and the battery was moved behind the bench seat, plenty of space back there once we moved the gas tank to the rear. The entire floor and firewall inside of the cabin was covered with sound descending before we put down the padding and carpet. Everything underneath was sanded, rust encapsulated, and repainted with tractor paint. The exterior is the original Harbor Blue paint, no clear coat, no patina sauce, just lots of hand polishing and buffing. My dad took care of making all the brake lines, and we fabricated the exhaust ourselves using a Jegs builders kit and a few slip joints to make things easier to take apart for maintenance. I’m sure there are things I’ve missed or forgot, this has taken about 5 years working in our garage to make it happen. Link to a few videos below if you want to hear the truck and see a quick driving video. I plan to upload a longer one in the following weeks to go over the build and get some better driving angles. Hope y’all dig the build, I know we sure do!

Hi all. I was hoping to get some insight because everywhere online is just selling a single round air filter that screws in on the carburetor intake port. Im in California and I need to find either oem or after market air filter housing with the correct emissions attachments including the snorkel that sticks out the side. Anyone have suggestions on where to go or where I can find the right emissions parts?

It looks like I have the oem air box and duct

I have a 1988 351w equipped e150. Been trying to sort out this issue for awhile now. Under electrical and throttle load (above 50% throttle) it stutters and picks up what I assume to be a misfire. The previous owner put in new plugs, wires, and distributor cap. I just went in and double checked his work and I reset the initial timing. The battery and alternator appear fine with multimeter tests. The engine ground is good. At this point I’m out of ideas as to what could be causing the issue, and I’m curious what y’all think. I’ll include 2 videos of the stutter happening. If nobody can think of anything I’m at the point to give up and take it to a shop lol.

Had a weird noise as I was driving and couldn't figure it out, was about to pull the wheel off to see if I could find the cause when I noticed how loose the hubcap was. Is there anything that would have caused all these clips to break or is it just because it's a 12-13 year old truck? I haven't had the wheels off in probably 15k miles so it didn't break during removal or installation.

I have this weird ticking or rattling sound and I can’t figure out what it is. I don’t have a lot experience with vehicles. Please help

I installed a new fuel pump on my 1989 f150 5.0, and it's not working. I'm not really sure what I'm doing, so I'm going to ask here before I mess something up. It has a good battery and cranks, but don't start. the fuel pump never hums. I have zero idea if the wires are in the correct order. Me and my cousin who works on cars couldn't figure it out. Pls help.

So this truck is a 1965 I was given with a bad body and good 390 but most of my experience is with dentside trucks. Today a co worker of mine offered me two 1966 4 speed 4wd f-100 trucks for 4500$. One has a 352 that ran when parked and the other has the 300 I6 that’s locked up. Both bodies are pretty good with minimal rust and the truck pictured could be a parts truck for the two, is this a good deal for 4500$?
