Re: k20 front clip

For anyone else looking to do this conversion, my 73 c20 frame is 4" narrower than my 63 f250 frame so I'm my case it isn't going to work.

Re: k20 front clip

I guess, it's actually a c20 then. I believe it is coil spring and I don't know about the steering box. I'll call my dad this afternoon and have him check.

k20 front clip

I know a lot of you guys use crown vic and Dakota front clips on your f100s but I would really like to keep the 8 lug bolt pattern on my 63 f250. I have a 73 k20 rusting in my parents back yard and was wondering if I could rob the suspension off of it. Has anyone done this? thanks.

Re: 8 lug disk conversion

So would it be worth it to buy the donor truck to rob parts off of or should I just go the custom bracket way and get all new parts?

8 lug disk conversion

Hi guys, I'm looking to upgrade the braking system on my 63 f250. I want to be able to use this truck as a tow vehicle so I don't want to do a 5 lug conversation. I have read through a few posts that said the spindles from a 73-79 truck should work but I haven't been able to find anyone who actually...
