If I was to go to my local pull a part to get a ford t18 which ford trucks would I look for such as 150, 250, 350? Novak says 65-91 ford trucks....
Wow so much information. Thanks everyone. This site is like a jeep encyclopedia.
Oh and I forgot, there's a t18 with a Dana 20 on Craigslist here for $800. Is that a good deal? It has the granny low right?
My longterm plan was to regear so when it was suggested to use a 77-78 axle with different gears I thought I'd just go ahead and have the front...
