JoeH Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I wonder if you're going to run into issues with the front spring brackets. The crossmember bolts to the inside of it, may be different. Your picture looks like the crossmember is between the damper and timing cover, whereas my '95's crossmember is in front of the damper. The engine rests on a shelf welded to the backside of my crossmember. This swap might require different front spring brackets. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70578-r-model-e7/page/2/#findComment-523380 Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterwelder Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Truck Paper. When I need a vin I try Truck Paper. Found a 90 R model says it has an E7. Also included a RB. I can’t remember if the frames are the same but the RB was made well in to the 2000s anyway.

Popular Post Tinman22 Posted March 30, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2023 Well it took a minute but i found the correct crossmember and lucky me it came with a complete truck! It's a 1990 with an e6/350 t2090 and 38k axles. we decided to leave the 85' alone and put the e7/350 , t2130 and nuway air ride in this one. The 90' was white with a green and red stripe kinda like a cf freightlines truck. I got it from a paving co. in cincinatti. they bought in 92' and used it to pull a lowboy around. Its got semi low miles (360k) according to what they gave me for maint. records. Did CF use r models? 2 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70578-r-model-e7/page/2/#findComment-528166 Share on other sites More sharing options...
