79 F350 4x4
This is my 1979 F350 Supercab. It's a 4x4 with the 400 and 4 speed. It was originally purchased out of Hailey, Idaho, but I don't have the complete history. I owned it for about 4 years but decided last year to make it new-ish. I've done some tuning, replaced most of the ignition system so that it starts and runs pretty well. Here it is after I picked it up from the body shop last Thursday...
Future projects: Fix starter issue (bendix not engaging, intermittant) Original wheels (16s, not the 16.5s according to the Marti Report) Spray-in bedliner Exhaust Enjoy! By the way...The paint is new but the color is the factory original "Medium Blue Glow" and "Wimbledon White". It's beautiful.https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...5ed4d9a490.jpg |

Hale, may I ask... what did that place charge you for your paint job? My supercab is green/white with all the trim... which makes it cost more I'm sure. With all these nice "new" looking trucks, I've been wondering how many nuts/arms/legs/first born owners have been giving up to get these new coatings on their rigs.
I'm not into "new truck" money, but I could have been, with a few more steps or a little worse of a truck. This was not a frame-off restoration...about 65%. My truck started with a rough paint job, no straight sheet-metal and a flatbed but...the engine had been rebuilt and the rest of the mechanical was fair. My regret: I saw a clean F350 SC 4x4 out of California (with automatic...not my bag) listed for less than 20K on eBay. I would have been ahead to ditch this one and buy that one. But I'm stubborn. |
Here is my new Supercab

Three lap belts for the rear bench in a '76, correct? Outside ones with retractors and a fixed middle one, like the front bench?

i just installed rear three points for back outside positions for my kids. |
My '77 had retractors on each side and regular lap belts in the center. I used the same retractor locations for my 3-point belts.

The rear bench in my 77 has 3 regular lap belts... no retractors.
|
My '76 2wd only "had" lap belts for the rear bench. I say "had" because they were so dry rotted/moth eaten when I got the truck I pulled them out to dissuade anyone from getting in the back! To be replaced with new ones soon.
