I too can't wait to see the shaved drip rails painted. This was the first link I saved when preparing for my project truck because of them and I plan to do mine when I get to the body work portion. Keep up the good work!
BTW, that 47RH transmission is going to take up a lot of room. That's what I put in mine and I think it is about 10" from tail-shaft to transfer case.

 

And this relates to my thread how??

 

Need a little help.

I have a 78 F250 supercab 4x4 XLT with factory Dana 60's, AC, tilt. I'm wondering if anyone knows how many of these were produced with these options. X26 VIN.

I've owned two F3 4x4 1979 F350's that were original, found that around 700 of those were made. I wondered why I've seen several of those in WA state, found out they were produced in CA but only shipped to WA and TX.

thanks

 

Hey, whatcha doin? Making all kinds of trick parts with the plasma table? Wondering how the truck is coming along?

 

Anything new with this project, Helipirate?

 

I lost everything about 18 months ago when I lost my job. I got rid of it all. On a positive note I am back in the market for another truck with the exact same ambitions for it. I am hoping to start with one that is more solid as far as the body goes. I still have all the pictures and am trying to figure out how to relink them to this thread for people.

 

Sorry to hear about your bad fortune. Hope you're able to recover and continue on with a new dream project.
Best of luck.

 

Its all good, I am better off now than I was before. Thanks!

I am restoring links to pictures in the thread right now.

 

Good to hear from you Heli...Glad everything is ok and nothing more than the occasional, life speedbump....can't wait to see your next project!!

 

Wow, jeez! Sorry to hear of your bad luck, but I admire you're optimism. The next truck will be even better! Meanwhile, someone out there has a truck with a very rare driver's side bed toolbox!

 

Sorry to hear about your life speed bump (Or pothole) and I'm glad to see you back on your feet again. Looking forward to your next build. So now what are you flying?

 

I also lost my spot in the GOM. It was the best thing that could have happened. Now I'm home with my family every night. I hope your next move is step up and that next project is right around the corner. Keep us posted.

 

Fixed most of the picture links on here. Started a new thread for my new truck here https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...super-cab.html
