1983 F250 4x4 Oregon

Should be a 3.54 limited slip unless they changed it. Wow, a T19 with 4.30, must be a screamer!

I skeptical on the mileage. I think a bit pricy for what it is.

Hydraulic clutch? Dealer air?

I like it, but you're right...according to the cert label, it should have 3.54 gears. If they were swapped out for 4.30's, boy she would be a screamer.

I think it looks good. I like the height, stance, and tire size. Sexy.

Should be a hydro clutch. The 460's and IDI's got the hydro in '83 when they came out, and everything else got it in '84.

Odd that it has a York/Techumseh A/C compressor, as the factory air got the Sanden in '82. So that must have been part of the dealer-installed A/C package.

Wonder why the front is level with the back? I like it, but that's not the way Big Blue was.

Well, there you go! I thought the hydro clutch was post 1986 for some reason.

Mine isn’t level either. My 94 was but the PO had the extra leaf put in. Rode great!

Re: 1983 F250 4x4 Oregon

I disagree with it being "level". I can see a difference between the tire and fender/bedside when comparing front and rear.

Yes, I see what your saying. My truck has a definite rake to it.

Big Blue HAD a serious rake to him. Not sure what he's gonna have when his transformation is complete, but it better not be as bad.
