Has anyone used their 1st gen club cab chassis/running gear and swapped on a crew cab & shortbox? I have seen pics of it done once or twice. I am really wanting to do the same thing and would like to talk with someone who has first hand knowledge of the conversion. I specifically would like to...

I could be mistaken, but I thought I remember someone on TDR running a Hughes Converter and then later going to a DTT or Goerend. I honestly want to hear a "real-world" story on someone who started with a stock converter, went to a Hughes, and then swapped in one of the big 3 (DTT, Suncoast...

I am looking to convert my lift pump from a diaphram style to a piston design (seen on 2nd gen 12V's). Has anyone else done this conversion to their 1st gen? I currently have a high pressure piston lift pump and looking to convert it to a low pressure pump (needed for the VE equipped 12V's)...

I was wondering if anyone on here has a mini bench seat in the back of their club cab. I have been given a 1980-something Ford F250 rear bench seat and wanted to know if anyone has fabbed a way to make one of these seats work?

Hello! I have been a TDR member for about a year now. My 1st diesel (currently my rig) is a 1993 generation 1. I have the non-lockup automatic that comes stock on these rigs. I have been relatively pleased with my 1st gen, but just recently it has let me down! I towed my 24ft 5th wheel trailer...

I assume this is not very common practice, but has anyone changed the color of their RV/trailer interior walls? The walls inside my 98' 5th wheeler are not very eye appealing and the decor is being changed soon. What kind of paint should a person use to change wall colors? I want something that...

How many 1st gen owners out there have them? What are your opinions about them? These auxilary coolers were installed under the driver's side bed and were wired to come on when a thermal switch closed. I have one on my 93' W250 and want to know how to properly wire in a manual toggle...

Years ago, many companies in the aftermarket relm offered some bed rail caps for older body style Dodges, Chevys, and Fords. I have looked around for a company that sells a complete set (2 side rails, front of bed, and tailgate)... ... ... no luck. All I seem to find is the 2 side rails being...

I bought a used 1998 23ft Kit Companion 5th Wheeler just a few months ago. Does anyone know much about this brand of trailer? I researched online and found that Kit has been around since the 1940's and recently was taken over by Extreme RV. I believe these trailers are built in Caldwell, ID...

I currently have a nice gooseneck ball installed in the bed of my 93' Dodge Ram W250. This gooseneck hitch is the "flip-down" style, which makes the bed flush when not in use. (not to be confused with the B&W turnover ball). My questions is: I really would like to use my gooseneck hitch and...

I am getting ready to purchase a tachometer for my 93' Ram. I have decided to go with the Isspro R5503 (white pointer) tachometer. The problem is... ... . who sells one besides directly from Isspro? I have checked a few other companies only to find that they sell the red pointer only. Dang...

Ok folks, I finally did it! I went to my local spring company and had them overhaul my front leaf springs. Upon initial inspection, we found that all the spring bushings were shot and one of the hangers was in need of repair. Long story short & 4 hours later... ... ... ... . I got 2. 5"...

This Christmas I recieved a set of mud flaps as a gift. The flaps are the fancy plastic ones with polished stainless strips at the bottom. I have been brain-storming over how to mount these mud flaps. I want them to hang 90* from the ground and not contour to the fenderwell like most pickups do...

I bought my 93' CTD 4x4 back in the summer of 07'. Since purchasing it, my steering has been really sloppy with lots of play. I dare not drive through the mud/snow with only one hand on the wheel. The pickup has 204K for miles and nothing has been replaced up front except for front axle...

I own a 1993 W250 club cab. I am looking for factory replacement shocks. I have a great "inside" source for getting Bilstein shocks. Can I still get the traditional Yellow/Blue shocks? I heard that they are no longer available for 1st gen pickups. Does anyone have part#'s to 1st gen 4x4 shocks...
