Does this truck exist? I currently have a 1978 Bronco and a 1996 F-250. I would like to rebuild a 1968 1-ton crewcab (the year I was born) or a 1978 1-ton crewcab (same front end as my Bronco). I'm beginning to believe that Ford didn't make a crewcab this early because I can't find pictures of any. I'll definitely settle for a Supercab if need be. Of course, I could always cut a frame and fabricate a Crewcab. I want to drop a new PowerStroke into my rebuild Crewcab.

 

Yes this truck does exist. There is a picture of a sweet '78 crew cab at the bottom of the home page of this web site. I'm trying to find one right now too. I don't know what years exactly that they made them but they did. They are a pain to find. Good Luck.

 

I am sure 78's exist as there is one in my driveway. 1978 1 ton crewcab 2 wheel drive 300 6cyl 4 speed.
As well there are 68's too but probably alot harder to find, due to their age.

I have a friend with a 78 or 79 crew cab Triple Nickel Cat V8 Disle. I know the truck sit's never really driven being they put a 500+ HP V8 semi truck eingin in it. He finaly stopped looking for a front axel that would hold the weight. If you are in or near No. CA I will see if he want's to sell.

 

Theres a 1965-66 Crew Cab on Ebay right now,saw it today,also saw a `67-`68 1-Ton Mercury Crew Cab on there last week.

 

Hi, You might want to try Hemmings Motor News. Especially if you are looking for a truck you don't see very often. It's a great magazine for finding parts also. http://www.hemmings.com Hope this helps.

Green I have a 72 F250 2wd setting in my driveway and I am told that they made them as early as 68 but I don't know about the F350's I would guess so but not positive. My pickup was originally a Nat. Forest Srvc. green color or a railroad green but is now white.

 

'68 crew cabs do exist. I know of two in my area - an F-250 and an F-350 dually. Both 2wd. Nice looking trucks.

 

Sorry about the late response, I'm not much of a "surfer." Thanks for the advice. I'm still looking for that PERFECT buy. I know it's out there somewhere. Also, just became a FTE member. I'm sure that I'll enjoy!

You may have seen my earlier posts about this same thing.

I am probably buying the one pictured below this weekend.



Maybe we can share some ideas as we get deeper into this thing.

Here is what Ford had to say on the subject back then:

Note: The crew cabs were apparently not available with 4wd.

HI GUYS, I HAVE A 1970 F-350 CREWCAB 2WD, LONG BED WITH A 390.
IT'S A GREAT TRUCK, JUST A LITTLE FOR MY LIKEING, I LIKE MY LIFTED 90 BETTER. GOOD LUCK IN YOUR HUNT.

 

Even if you can't find a 68 crewcab, I would definitely plan on getting a 68 car or truck of some kind. I bought my 69 in part because it is the year I was born, and it's a cool feeling! I also understand why it's a little slow to start in the morning sometimes.

Either way, good luck!
