Parts truck ????

I decoded a parts truck I have been considering mine is a 64 this is a 66 F350, see the differences below, the only thing I know for sure is good is the glass and some small parts like handles etc. Owner has no idea if the engine or trans work or any of the drivetrain for that matter. The body and interior are both toast. What would the value be of such a thing? If any of the drive train is good is it compatible with my 64.

Mine

Model F350
Engine 292 8 cyl
Trans 4 speed (not identified)
Axle 4.88.1
WB 132


Parts Truck

Model F350
Engine 352
Trans 4 Synchronized Manual New Process 435
Axles 5.13 (7.4M) Dana/Spicer 70
WB 132

Scrap value imho. The wheels are widow makers so even they aren’t worth having. Stu

The most desirable and difficult to find parts are the body sheet metal. That’s pretty much gone.....

I’d walk away. But will defer to others with opinions. Only parts that I know are hard to find are the brake drums, but they aren’t worth the investment. Stu

Mine F350 292 2V - 132" wheelbase - Borg-Warner T-98 4 speed, non synchro 1st gear. Dana 70 rear axle 4.88-1, 7400 lbs. axle capacity.

Parts Truck F350 352 2V - 132" wheelbase - New Process 435 4 speed, non synchro 1st gear. Dana 70 rear axle 5.13-1, 7400 lbs. axle capacity.

352: 1965 F100/250 4WD, 1965/66 F350, 1966 F250 4WD use a different bell housing than 1965/66 F100/250 2WD, 1966 F100 4WD, 1967/76 F100/350 (1968/76 360/390).

The front and rear engine mounting parts are also unique. Might be worth saving these parts.

Save the hood if it isn't bent and/or rusted out, fits 1961/66 F100/700 and is getting hard to find. Save the oil bath air cleaner, same as 1961/64 292, 1965/67 352.

352 engine might be worth saving if you need a boat anchor, because it probably doesn't run.

'Course, how many potential customers for these parts could there be in NB & NS?

I've been to Cape Sable Island, but went there for a family reunion and to gorge myself on lobster, not to look for parts.

Am I the only one spotting the brake booster? If that is correct for a 66 it might be worth it grabbing. It won't work on a 1/2 ton system though. Is there power steering? Price is a bit high as scrap metal is low right now.

In my world this is a $150 dollar truck if it has a title. I would grab handles, *****, glass, hood (if good). Hood hinges if tight, vent windows and any misc. clips and hardware that are hard to find if you need them. Then sell for scrap. If it will cost you $250 just to haul it home it might not be worth it.

If it were closer I`d grab it for the frame

The rear suspension frame brackets could be salvaged as well as the other parts that were mentioned. Wheels might be of question as Stu mentioned but they might be the 16" oval ring lock type. type.

The fronts are 17” widow makers. Rears could be 16” semi-drop center two piece, but if they are 17” too they are widow makers. Stu

Did you check the rims on rear axle to see if they're tubeless? That and the drums are worth saving. I see your truck already has 4.88 gears. Mine has the 5.13, but mine is also a Rockwell axle. I've been watching for a matching rear axle that I could change gears in. Too bad it's so far from me.

IMO, these would be a parts truck only, and only if you were interested in upgrading your older F 350 drivetrain to a newer F 350 drivetrain. If the engine and tranny could be rebuilt, you'll have the front engine collar, which as ND stated, is probably the key part in the conversion. ( The bottom plate of the collar might need to be extended with a little welding work) . Belllhousing , with trans and drive shaft should bolt right in since the F 350 used the same frame and wheelbase from '61-'66. The brake booster should work as well as RangerMerMan stated, since the '66 F 350 cab is very similar to the '64 F350 cab. The 4 way disability switch would be nice too.
