I used the rear section of trim from a reg cab, trimmed the ends off and spaced the screws to match the rest. The rivets are not supposed to be there, someone put them there because it wouldn't stay. Mine was nice except for 3" on the driver side. Someone put a screw in it. Personally, I think ford should have done it the way I did, looks much better and more natural like it was ment to be...

 

Thanks choptop49ford you did a nice job, it really looks good. I will be on the lookout for regular cab trim. Great pictures.

Thanks again.

 

Thanks, and your welcome. Glad to help

 

So mines finally on the road today.

 

Found my dream '76 crew last week. The body and part of the power train were already done but still plenty of ways to make it "mine". Anyway, my first project is seat belts before girlfriend will let me go out of town with it.
Putting 3 points at least in the front. Ordered some from wesco. I also ordered there backing plate and will try to fish from headliner rather than have an 1.5" plastic plug remaining. What are the chances that there's already a anchor in the pillar. In particular, that square bump out looks very suspect and my hopes were that there is an anchor behind there (for those that ordered the 3 point option back in '76) If not, that's where I'd like to put it.
Also has anyone put them in the back seat?

 

71 crew cab getting full restoration

 

I had an opportunity to look at this F600 crew cab today; I'm hoping to pull the doors and a few other interior parts off it this week for my '76. If anybody is in need of a solid F600 project this would be it, from what I saw the cab is solid, no roof or cab corner rust, but it is dented up top. The owner would rather see someone use it than scrap it. It has a 391 gaser with a 2 spd rear; doesn't run, no title. The truck is in Western Washington. Let me know if anybody is interested in saving the cab, I'll put you in touch with the owner to try to make arrangements with him.

 

No title is a hard sell unless it will be only used on private property

 

I would take it in a second title or no title IF it wasn't on the completely opposite end of the country. Paid to have my 78 crew shipped from California to West Virginia, hate to see the bill on that one.

 

I wish, What a cool project. Ide flatbed it, make it a crawler hauler or something. hope someone gets it and brings it back to life...

 

Speakers. 76 crew. Would like to put in 4 speakers. Don't need top quality audio and was thinking of just putting 5.25"'s back in the stock door holes. Which leads me to my question... as the back door panels are in pretty good shape, I'd hate to remove them and find that the back doors don't have stock speaker holes. Do they?

 

Yeah no I made the same mistake... There are no speaker holes

 

Thanks. Saved me the trouble

 

I didn't cut the holes, they were there when I bought the truck. Luckily he also sent me a couple sets of these grill covers. I THINK they are out of an econoline, not sure. If your planning on using a ford radio, there weren't any 4 chanel radios for the trucks and the car radios will not work. I found a NOS aftermarket radio from the 70's that looks identical to the ford radio but it fits the trucks and is 4 chanel. Will find the time to install it eventually.

 

Funny, could use a crew cab in that good of shape, also would like to restore an old 8 ton pitman crane. That would kill 2 birds with one stone, wonder how hard it I to get a truck without a title across the border.
