The front cab mounts are the same, the back mounts on the Super Cab frame are wider than the crew cab body. I did this and had to remake the rear cab mounts, easily.
Did you have to stretch the frame at all for the 8 ft bed? Seems like your frame should have still been 7 inches short. Thanks for the info everyone I will let you know what I find another 4x4 crew just popped up in the area. So may not have to do a conversion after all.
Well it looks like I won't have to do a conversion after all. Picked up a 78 4x4 with a nice clean 390 np435 conversion.And a bunch of extra parts. AC dash w/ vents and ducts, grill insert and light buckets, door seals all 4, anti rattle kit for front doors, gauge cluster, carpet kit NIB, and 2 rolls of dynamat. He also thinks he has a grill shell and will send it to me if he can find it. Truck is completely cancer free and only 3 or 4 significant dents. Was on ebay but I picked it up through craig's list. A few bonuses too good tires in a good size, seats are pretty good and has the round lights.
For all of you fellow crewballs...Dennis Carpenter now has (unless i've been in a cave) the drip rail chrome mouldings for the crew cabs!!! WOOHOO!!! and only 35 bucks a side!!!

I have a 78 crew that is rusting above the rear wheel wells and other places. What is the best stuff to stop the rust before a new paint job??? I have a few pics of my crew in my gallery. THANKS JOHN
Just thought I'd stop by and say hello since it appears I'm becoming a crewcab junky. Its all "Todds79"s fault really; I seen his and fell in lust for one. So now I have my own 76 crew winter into summer into forever project. Glad this thread exists, I'm sure I'll be back with LOTS of questions !!!!!

I have been trying to find some door panels for all 4 doors but all I can find is the ones for the front 2.Does anybody know of a website or a place that sells them or if you can use the front for the back doors to?But I don't think you can because the panels on the back doors looks smaller.Thanks
Different panels - and from what IU have seen - nobody sells replacement. Which is why there are expensive when you find them used
