Pulled the body off a Trailer Special today.

Bought a complete body/interior off a 77' F250 Trailer Special today to replace the body of my recently purchased 77' F150. Just curious how common the Trailer Special is, and if there would be any other indication of the package other then a badge on the center of the tailgate?

Yes, I know this thread is useless without pick chures, I will take some after I pick the cab up tomorrow. Lol

That's a great looking truck! Looks like it has cruise control, A/C, XLT trim.

Subscribed! Just curious as to why you didn't purchase the whole truck? Also would have loved to have gotten that rear bumper. I need one for my 78 F150.

X2 on what paredneck said, lots of parts on that frame and what you don't need gets sold or scrapped.

Awesome parts you scored there! That was an incredibly nice truck! A shame it got parted out because from the ad and these pics, it was in better than most condition.
Not sure if you were able to get all of the cruise control stuff from the engine compartment, but good if you did. Mine in my '77 still works, bet that one would too...great addition to your truck.

He wouldn't sell the entire truck. I bought the body to replace the one on my 77'.
