Im looking for a bunch of pics of the front leaf hangers (mounting locations), steering box location (steering shaft, pitman arm, tie rod, drag link etc) motor mounts, front cross member.

Thanx,

Todd, not sure if it's still there, but there was a thread I started in the buildup section about switching a 78 F-350 crew to a 4x4 and installing a Cummins. There were a few good shots of how I made the engine stands and crossmember.

If you have access to a highboy frame I would splice the highboy frame into the crew 2wd frame under the cab. It would be far cleaner than making all your own frame parts.

Look at it like this- to convert the front of your frame to a highboy setup you are going to pull the whole drivetrain, completely remove every crossmember and bracket off the front frame rails and modify/build a ton of stuff to make it work. Way, way easier to just have the 2 frames side by side, do some real careful measuring, make 4 cuts and 2 nice welds where nobody will see them. Put the 2wd body back on with a 4x4 steering column and drop your engine in with a 4x4 tranny and mated t-case.
