wyldbyll54 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Hey everyone, I have a chance to get ahold of a parts truck... My truck is a 1985 F250 supercab 4x4 with 460 and t19 trans, the parts truck is a 1986 F250 supercab 2wd with 6.9 non turbo and an automatic... My question is what parts other than body and interior are compatible and or improvement/upgrade for my 460 truck...(ex. Radiator, brake booster, AC parts, etc...) Just looking for a decent list of stuff I could salvage to justify the purchase to the old lady Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 The easiest way to ascertain those answers is to check out the Interchange pages, such as Interchange/Brake Interchange on the menu above. And there, for instance, you'll see that 1984 through '86 boosters interchange for all F250's over 8500 GVW. And since both yours should be over 8500 GVW you'll see that the boosters will interchange. Anyway, you can do that with several other things in the Interchange pages. But you can then go to the Cooling System/Radiator or Cooling System/Radiator Support pages, but I will save you time there - they don't interchange. However, the diesel radiator supports are in short supply, so.... Beyond that, it is easier to say what won't interchange. Here's my understanding: Transmissions: The bolt pattern is different Engine wiring: This is the harness that plugs into the main harness. But all of the harnesses are probably the same - although the fuel system wiring may be different. Hmmmm.... Emissions stuff Exhaust pipes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
