here is a pic of my '80 F250. It's gonna be my tow rig this summer. It's got a 351M, 4Speed, and a plow. It's not the best thing ever on gas, but i got it for no money and i've managed to aquire a ton of spare parts. I'm looking for a trailer now Looking good man ,should plow nicely . ;D

yeah, it's working great now, got all the bugs worked out. i had it out plowing once this season, it worked great in 10cm. i think it's gonna push real good in the big stuff too.

and keep a spare set of front axles..... that looks to be the ttb 44hd, the 150 shafts will fit....
truck looks to be in pretty good shape though.

FT u bolts that secure your spring packs to the TTB, i've never heard of that. though, i've seen 1/2 a dozon that have broken the ttb tube off, just outside the spring. years of salt, and the weight of a plow doesn't do them any good

1990 3/4 ton, 350, on 33s needs a tune up, idle goes up and down when in neutral or park.

looks like it will do the trick. I've got a 4.3 1/2 ton, the parts are VERY easy to come by, those year Chev's are cheap to keep on the road.
