I'm new here. I have an 86 F250 in the garage that the seller claimed was sitting on a modified 81 Malibu chassis. It's definitely looking that way, but everywhere I look I see things that need a little attention. It's also pretty tough to tell where the truck morfed from Chevy to Ford for some items like the steering column and cooling system.
At the present time, I'm addressing safety related matters. The truck has a fuel cell in the bed that didn't have a roll over vent valve or vent. Fuel was old as hell.
I'm also trying to improve and repair a leaky front airride setup. Tank was leaking due to trashed threads.
When I got the truck, it had the wrong lugnuts on it and I have to work on aligning the bed a bit this winter. Overall, it's extremely low on rust. Came out of northern California.
Right now, looking for parts identification help. Also looking at suspension changes to a static drop. It came with s10 Belltech front drop springs in a box.
