Another new toy

Well if you've seen my other threeead you know I recently got a 78 supercab 4x4 f150 and thtat I've been working on getting her in good shape. Well, last week I found another 78 supercab in MUCH better shape bodywise, but 2wd. I bought it to swap the body to mine and save me a ton of bodywork. As a plus, it has a 460 and a/c which will both find their way to my 4x.

Here is a pic, I'll get a bunch more tomorrow. Btw, engione/trans rebuilt 40,000 miles before it was parked. .

Fired her up today, had to bypass the fuel system as I wasn't getting any fuel from either tank. Ran a line from gas can to electric fuel pump to carb and she fired right up. Some adjustments/ cleanings are needed and it has a mnanifold leak, but she drove and holds idle fine. . Time to start dismantling. I'll have a lot of parts left over and will see if I can sell them beforree scrapping. Anyone think my rusted, beat cab is worth anything besides scrap? I don't want it and maybe someone elsree would want to put some work onto it. Oh, and if anyone has a good set of round headlight surrounds they want to trade for a set of squares let merr know. All I'm usiong is the grill and alum surround. I like the round ones better
