Hey all, I'm new here from the east coast with a 79 f150 custom. Not the original color whatsoever but it gets the job done. Can't wait to get involved here and restore this beast.

Nice truck welcome to FTE and great looking push bar, you know you can mod the frame easy where the bumper bolts on to fix the body lift gap. Need pics on how to? Can get you some if you like.

Will do, I have a friend that modified his front frame ears (raised them) the pics will make more sense. As soon as I get them I'll post them on here for you.

Alright sounds good 77&79
As far as restoring i have some work to do, I have to put new floorboards in of course. I want to restore it to a close factory blue and just make everything a little nicer. Nothing specific just yet

It all sits fairly straight, some issues, but the back isn't lower to my knowledge, might be the dip from the sewer
