Motor is from a 2000 F350, I wish I had a welder...damn.

Alright, so my dream is coming true... I found a 7.3L Powerstroke engine with 70k miles on it and I would LOVE to swap it into my 67 International Pickup but I do have quite a few questions... Wiring - What exactly do I need to make it run and drive? I'd like to retain the stock lighting & such...

ah! the things I would do for that blue pickup!

I went to a technical high school, I didn't take welding however I did do it for a very short period of time.

Alright, instead of mucking up donsrods thread I figured I'd start my own, I've gotta start investing into a welder - something sorta cheaper to get me started. Do I need welding gas? What should I expect for that price? Do I need the clamps or can I hold up what I need, tack it and then...

I've took like 3 weeks of a welding class lol I'm a little worried that I'll screw **** up, I hguess I better do some learning. If you had to choose between the two.... Eastwood or this Harbor Freight?

I've got the most crude battery box bent up...definately going to re do it once I get my welder. It's just one of those things to get me started while I get tools in the garage, any suggestions for an all around good welder? I'm thinking either a Eastwood or the midline HF (dont shoot me!), alot...

how much you charge to build me one of these? :)

haha she will get an orange paint job, it is by far my favorite color. Once the motor is squared away the dump body will get removed because the hydraulics need rebuilding cause they are leaking all over my floor. I ordered the LST (Line Setting Ticket) which will give me much more information...

Alright so I'm back with a big update... little news. The girlfriend and I bought a house with a nice one car garage where the beast is currently housed. The downfall is I have no tools, I didn't really have money for tools due to being stretched thin. Now I free'ed up some money and am in...

So I have a 67 International 1300b with a 241 which has been giving me nothing but trouble and headache... I've got a friend up north who has a AMC 258 motor & transmission he will sell to me for a reasonable price. My concern is the additional labor and expenses it will take to get it to...

Iron, what motor did you have in it and do you still have it kicking around the shop?

They seem like a halfway decent buy, the guys over at GJ were suggesting to make sure you get the USA made ones not the cheaply made china ones. I found a guy off Craigslist who owns a generator repair store who supposedly has every tool known to man for sale... Going Sunday to look and...

Thanks Sam, I actually joined up to Garage Journal forums and they tend to post some decent deals on tools. They recently linked this one Craftsman Module Sale which seems to have some good deals.

The craigslist & tag sale foo is weak with me haha. I'm gonna look around and such.

What's for sale and how much?

I mean, if I can get plenty low with my removed leafs then I won't need to do much more.

Can I weld to my rear end or do I need to fab something up to weld the bracket to? Do you think 3/8" thickness would work or do I need to jimmy up something thicker?

Thanks Don, I value your input greatly. I've never done the whole estate sale deal, do they post those somewhere? Are they open to the public like a tag sale just walk right up? I would hate to over step my boundaries.

Mike, here is what's on the list from Harbor Freight... I will most definately search Craigslist prior to heading there if/when I decide to purchase. Rolling Tool Chest - 11 Drawers Low Profile Floor Jack 2.5 Ton 3 Ton Heavy Duty Jack Stands x2 301 Piece Mechanics Tool Set 1/2in Air Impact...
