Sounds good!. That 408 windsor will really move that car, notchback is a little lighter than the GT's, even better. The truck looks great, mean looking with the wide tires. I built a 347 for my 66' 350 and it was a blast. :-partybud

nice. not trying to bust your balls... it it a real shelby or a clone? any pics?

That's a nice find there EMERALDCOUPE. Good luck with it, new toys are always exciting!

That is a nice find emerald. What are your plans for it?

I've always wanted a F-350 SuperCab!
I can have a F-350 Super Camper Special & a F-350 SuperCab Camper Special!

Not to nit pick, but looks like it has a older box on it. '78's had hinged gas doors IIRC. It doesn't really matter though, as long as it serves it purpose.

For the comment about diff. between men and the boys. I think you crewcab BOYS are trying to compensate for something else!!!!!!:-kneeslap

I think you supercab BOYS are trying to compensate for something sorry guys not gonna work!!!!

maybe. i think someone added the front tank, the rear has the gas door.

i'll be working on it as funds allow. i'd like to make it a semi-daily driver and tow rig for my mustang and camper. i want to swap some late model seats into it . i'm going to tackle the body issues first. i'd like it to be as nice as some of the trucks here!

They know I woulda been all over them if I was there. They traded our 01 excursion and a 98 f150 on that thing, and they're paying a ton every month for it. I tell them all the time that my truck will be around in 30 years and theirs won't lol. It sure rides nice though.... and dana 60 front.... dang rich kids!

I'm just a bum college kid myself, didn't mean no disrespect. And for the smog, If you throw a diesel in an old truck won't it be smog exempt? Cali still doesn't smog 2010 diesels.

No real offense taken I just work hard on my projects and for my $$ and people often think I'm just spoiled based on where I live. Not so much now that I am a bit older but in high school and college it was that way. Kinda bugged me.

A little more to it than you think on the smog thing (been there done that) and it is a complete different story/book (and a horror story at that;)).

Anyways - bummer on the 06 and paying tons for it. I NEVER understood why people do that. Just not my style.

And as far as the 2010 diesels not being smogged - as of this second they are not, but that is changing VERY soon. If the smog nazis have their way diesels back to 08 or so will be smogged.
