Early Nineties F350 - aftermarket?

[Capt. REDBEARD]

I am looking into getting an early nineties IDI F350 Crew Cab.

I have been looking into the aftermarket parts availability and there seems to be little out there -

am I missing something?

I am basically looking for a heavy duty recovery bumper - front/rear, over-sized brake kit and sliders.

Anyone have any good sources. I can get someone to make them - but thought that the bolt on stuff might be easier.

Keep in mind that the early 90's f150, 250, 350 and Full Size Bronco's share much of their parts. Not sure if that means anything for bumpers but just an FYI. For restoration type parts look at broncograveyard.com and LMCtruck.com. You might check out fullsizebronco.com (forum) for info on bumpers that would fit your rig. I know there are several vendors on there that make custom bumpers.

Oh, BTW, there is a Centurion Forum out there too, I think it's Four Door Bronco or something like that, and many of those were built on the F350 chassis as well, so that may be another resource for you.

Jeffs Bronco Graveyard is another good source for parts.

I agree!!

I actually have some stuff arriving from them tomorrow!

I have A L0T of reading to do -

isn't the d60 on that year a balljoint syle?
don't detriot lockers put a lot of wear on tires with street driving?
are you sure that the rear is not a dana too?

I should maybe wait until I get the truck and then do a "school me on my new ride" thread? -- or that can go on here as well

Buckstop also makes a nice front and rear bumper replacement. There are parts literally everywhere for your truck, just a matter of finding them. Almost every aftermarket 4 wheel drive place will carry parts and accessories. Since the Bronco, F150-F350 all share the same body parts from 87-96 with the exception of the change to the front clip and a few interior pieces, alot of the parts are a universal fit between those years.
