Crewcab Only Thread.
#47
Wow this is a lot of crewcab action in only about a week.. I have 2 77crewcabs. both were originally F350 2wd longbeds. 1 cab came from Silver City NM, other from Drayton Ontario. The NM cab has no rot in the roof at all, only one I've seen like it, other is very solid but has a few pin holes on Rside. The Ontario cab has no cab mounts left and front floors are getting rough so I am selling the complete roof to a buddy who brought a crew up from Texas and his roof is ucked.
This is an interesting forum, but has a lot of BS.
I also have 4 67-72 crewcabs in assorted conditions, only 2 are worthy of driving...... I'll never part with those!!!!!!!!

Finally!!!
Hello everyone, my first post although I've been a member almost a year. That's how long it took me to find MY CC. 1979 F-250 2wd, 460 auto. It seems to be in pretty awsome shape(if you disreguard the drip rail rust), and I think I got a good deal on it. I have a 79 standard 4x4 F-350 that I was oringinally going to build, now I think it will be a doner to the CC (4x4, 4-speed). I enjoy reading everyone's posts and learn a bit too. I will put up pics soon.

this truck started life as a 300-6/3sp truck with no options save chrome bumpers. now its a crewcab, 390 4v C-6,A/C, P/S, dual tanks (77-79 bed)
perhaps the next step in its journey is to become an F-250 4x4...

Headers for modified crew cab
I have a 1977 F250, 4x4, crew cab, high boy, np435 manual transmission, divorced np 205 xfer case. I replaced the stock 400 cid with a 460 using the stock motor stantions and L&L conversion motor mounts. I replaced the stock body bushings with new poly bushings and 1/4" thick fender washers. I don't want to lift the body any higher. I want to get a good set of fender well exhaust headers. I have been looking at L&L #79750B. They recommend a 3" body lift but I have seen them installed without the lift. Some inner fender sheet metal was removed but very little. I would like to hear from those that have done this, or something very similar and get recommendations/suggestions for good quality headers that will fit, and last.

Hey - I recognize those last 2 pics!
Maybe it's because I took them - in front of my house...
The black truck doesn't really fit what we are talking about I don't think. It is on a 2004 dodge frame with the 5.9" cummins in it. The guy stretched the front end and shortened the bed to make it fit the dodge frame. The proportions of the red one make it much better looking IMO.
The nose looks almost as long as the bed on the black one making it look weird. Plus having that much frame showing doesn't look good to me either. I will give the guy one thing - the stretch of the fron and shortening of the rear were done VERY cleanly. Great body work on it!

Any idea of what wheelbase the red one is on? It does look like the bed is still somewhat usefull... I have a 139" supercab shortbed chassis that I am thinking would work well with a Crewcab on it and a trimmed down shortbed.
Very nice looking truck that red one. Hey at least the Dodge chassis had a cummins and dana axles
