Yes to all of the above.

Yes 73-79 crews use 67-72 style door hinges on the BACK doors.

And yes - Brady's and all other 67-72 crews have the same door hinges (the 67-72 style) both front and rear

I Like how he says "I am currently parting out a nice '75 F-100 CrewCab 4x4 HighBoy"
That's funny!

bought this crew..a 77 4x4 long bed...not made that way, but stretched some time ago, has a/c manual trans, lp d60 and d60 ls, I am adding a 55 gal custom made stainless aft tank to fit between the narrower rails, along w/ the fwd. aux tank, as long as it will fit???, the 78/79 pwr. steering upgrade the custom long bed w/ the dual sid boxes and dual tank doors along w/ any other 'goodies' that I may p/u along the way. The cab had some rust over the drip rails and I had cut up 2 s/c roofs for the repair ..but I located a SWEET 74 crew cab body that was redone, but nothing else was useful, so it all sat idle until yesterday 08/08/09, now I will join the others who re-did their crews, also planning on putting either por 15 or rust bullet on the frame and under body panels...any one better than the other???

started w/ this

sold the dual wheel fenders, never going to need the duallie set up.

moved to this...


to this on 08/08/09...




this is the donor 74 crew cab body...I am filling in where the skylight was cut out and looking into adding rear shoulder harnesses...also a factory a/c cab, manual trans set up..still comtemplating switching to automatic, have trans. available, willl probably have to shorten the d/s between the divorced transfer case...this also came w/ front diff skid plate and transfer case skid plate, warn 8,000 lbs winch w/ bumper and grille guard and the custom fuel tank






this is the custom long bed that is going on the crew cab..had factory tool boxes installed on both sides, along w/ the dual tank doors, will probably be installing the factory tie-downs, still kicking around the idea of installing the race track trim, I would have to custumize the d/s lower trim near the tool box...ugh!!



so the saga begins!!!

NOTE....Scott you are given some credit for starting the fire

Ok so apparently some small minded people dont understand that the truck in this signature is a combination of many sarcasims. Please quit being stupid and study up before you run your mouth about it.
