I posted mine a while back - but it has changed a little since then. Some pretty big changes will come in the future...
Like some of the previous ones - mine needs some paint too. http://i453.photobucket.com/albums/q...73-79/1080.jpg |
My grandpa recently gave me a 1979 F-250 SuperCab and I am going to go drop a 400 in it tonight.
i will get some pics while there and post em up either later or tomarrow. |

This is an old topic that I had never noticed before, because I didn't join this site until July 2010. Lots of great looking trucks! Here's mine, a '79 F350 Supercab Lariat, 400, C6:

Great truck, Northwest! I do have a question...where'd you get your nerf bar, and is it stainless, or chromed? I've been toying with the idea of having a set of stainless nerf bars fabbed for my truck, but haven't decided on it yet. If there's a suitable catalog option, maybe I'll go that route.

(sorry for the mild threadjack, there) The way Westin's website is set up, you have to do a search to get to that part number. However, in their listing of vehicles, the installation instructions are clickable, so here is the link to the PDF installation instructions: http://www.westinautomotive.com/page...ts/75-0917.pdf Since I'm not not the one who installed them, I don't know if the mounting brackets needed to be modified to fit a '79 truck or not. I'll have to crawl under there and see how they are installed. They seem pretty solid, though. The previous owner put a lot of attention to detail into this truck. Nothing appears to be a "hack job." Well, I take that back. He put lift blocks under the front leaf springs to level the truck, rather than put new springs in. I plan on putting a "real" lift kit on it as soon as I can! 76f350spercamprspeal, most people think I paid too much money for this truck, but I think it was worth it. My logic was, I could buy a fixer-upper and put a lot of money (and time) into it, or I could buy one that someone else put a lot of money into. We all know that you never get the money out of a truck that you put into it when you sell it, and I know by thumbing through my ring binder full of receipts, that the seller took a major loss when he sold it to me. I've been looking for a rust-free '79 F350 4X4 Supercab for years, and I recently had a bit of good luck on the stock market that gave me some "guilt-free" spending money (and no, I'm not a rich guy, I'm just a regular working class dog. In fact, I pretty much emptied the bank account to buy this truck. My job has since taken a slight down-turn, so I won't have any money to put into this truck until next year). The fact that this one's a Lariat that is loaded with factory options was icing on the cake. I wasn't too hip about the flatbed at first, but I've really grown to like it. |

http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/...ct-2009002.jpg http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/...ct-2009003.jpg Nothing fancy but no rust. Just some DC-1's with 285/70-r17 Cooper STT's. I have a D60 to swap in, just need to find the time. I'm also planning to paint it 2 stage black next summer. It's mostly a tar baby since I use it primarily for towing but I like to take a trip through the woods with my daughter now and then too. Sooooo many plans and so little time.... |
Ranger your f350 is awesome! My truck but I have the 2wd. :-( LOL

I haven't made it out to the garage yet, but I found some installation instructions in the ring binder. The nerf bars are made by Westin. ( Westin 2009 New Product - ) The instructions say "Application: 1999 & up Ford F250/350/450/550HD Super Duty regular cab, super cab, crew cab." The installation instructions cover the following model numbers: 23-1310, 23-1315 (etc, all increments of 5, up to 23-1335). I did a search on Westin's website, and the part numbers that end with a 5 are black painted steel. Part numbers 23-1310, 1320, and 1330 all say "polished stainless steel." Mine is a single-step, which I found to be part number 23-1320: "E-Series step bar, single step, polished stainless steel. Product features: 3" round tube, series unique step pad design, mount kit included, stainless steel, adds perfect finishing touch to vehicle, lifetime warranty."

By the way, I'd be in the same boat as the guy that you bought your rig from....I've got WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more invested into Buford than I'd ever see out of him, but the good thing is that I'm taking that truck to my grave so I don't have to worry about it. |
Here it is today. Just got the lights done today so its finally road ready again after a frame and diesel swap.
