no its factory with a switch on the dash to turn the fan on. looks just like a steel box. used to see in older kw's and utility equipment. some farm equipment also. have to measure it but i would guess it is 8 inches tall and 14 square. just a guess. looks factory to me.

new thought, we have a fsuperduty with a dana 80 rear and qould need a fron end but the one out of the f350 should fit nut it needs 10 hole adapters to work right since the fsuper has 10 hole.

well i think the plan has changed, we have a ford fsuperduty that at the moment we can use and the frame is about the right lengh for my crew so i will put the body on that frame, it has a d80 rear with disks but no 4x4 front so the one out of the f350 has to go in but then i need to find some small 10 hole adapters to match the ford wheels that are on the super duty.

again the idea is going to change,
i am now thinking of going back to the first idea of the f350, but now i want to use the dodge dana 60 front housing and put the dually hubs off the ford on it, will it work?
