I kinda wish you guys had cut up some yoters or chebbies too, I guess this is where all the crew cabs went. But this is America and my opinion not mattering is what makes it so great. These are pretty cool trucks though!
What's up with the pic of the silver sc flying? Do these trucks land jumps like that? If so, that's awesome! |

You responded that to the wrong thread but I guess Dimple Dies are relevant to Pre-Runners as they seem to go hand in hand these days.

What's up with the pic of the silver sc flying? Do these trucks land jumps like that? If so, that's awesome! And not even close to an excuse for where the crew cabs went. Only a few of um have turned into even cooler things that stock by doing this (and I'll post pics below to get this thread back on topic!). As was stated in the post above post though - we save these trucks too too. We just may not use all the body panels or keep um BORING, uh, I mean stock}>. And yes, many of these trucks are built to land jumps like that & more. That's part of the draw, well for me at least. Doing 60-80 mph or more over whoops, bumps & dips that are bumper high/deep on most trucks is one heck of a thrill! Here's a couple crew cabs that have been lucky enough to get some love vs. being kept stock & boring! Both on D50 TTB to boot! Maybe that's why they get to take up some precious space in my photo-suckit account though:-X22 http://i453.photobucket.com/albums/q...psa486e330.jpg http://i453.photobucket.com/albums/q...ps6cc22675.jpg http://i453.photobucket.com/albums/q...dsides_008.jpg http://i453.photobucket.com/albums/q...dsides_006.jpg |

D'oh - how'd I do that. At least you found the info!
Don't you worry, yotas & chevies get the treatment too.

Chase, do you have links to either of those TTB builds?
That would be the only way my truck ends up with a Transfer Case. |
There is a build on race-dezert.com for the blue one. It is old, but a google search for 78 crew cab ford using RDC as the site should pull it up. It has a cool cantilever rear suspension now. Let me know if you try & can't find it & I can get on there & dig through my very old subscriptions & see if I can't find it.
The "shortened" one is really cool as it is on a supercab, short bed frame to get a shorter wheel base. Started life as a 2wd and he did the d50 TTB when it was still a supercab. He then converted it to the crew cab. No build thread on a forum, just pics on the facial book. His name is Chad Krewson & he's one of my friends on there. Search him & find all the pics. No write up though. Truck was built by Fantelli in San Diego area. |
I thought the miss-match color scheme looked like Chad's truck.

Frame question?

Both of those trucks are on their original frames I believe.
The brown/multi colored one started as a '75 (I think) 2wd supercab short bed. D50 TTB was added. The blue truck is a '78 if I remember right and was a 4wd. They added TTB to it as well. |
