This is my first post here. Just joined the site because I like the amount of interest in the 73-79s that exists here.

I'm building my dream truck. Right now I'm just collecting parts but will more than likely start on it this winter. It is a '78 350 Crew Cab LB. It will be converted to 4wd with a Dana 60 front and Sterling 10.5 rear out of an '03 Superduty. For now 8" Fabtech SD springs (will 4 link on bags at a later time). For a powerplant, a 6.0L PSD will go in with the matching AT and T-case. I'll install Lariat seating and custom interior of some sort. A custom paint job too. I think a 70s truck with late model components and a nice interior will be really sweet. It will be a long term project but worth it when completed. I'm looking forward to it.

 

79 Supercab 4x4 F150 or F250 400, 2bbl, 4spd (T-18), Bench rear seat, Buckets with console for front seats, Air, 8ft stock bed with dump kit, Warn premium hubs, Great Wheels, 35inch Goodyear MTR's, Many Fiberglass body panels. Flip forward front clip, Dual Glas-pak exhaust.

Another one of my 73-79 dream trucks would be a 76 F150 4x4. The truck would be a 2-tone brown and tan Ranger XLT longbed. The body and interior would be all stock. The engine would be a 460 with a 4bbl carb. The truck would have 33x10.50 tires and white wagon wheels. It would also have a chrome roll-bar and a tan snap-on tonneau cover.
