Thanks everyone
I'm slowly getting the truck done, Trying to find good body parts is a pain.
Almost everything needs to be redone on the truck.





The cab is toast I've just got to pull the pedals and steering column then it can be taken off.

I was also working on my F-350 but have stopped for now since I have the 4x4 project.

Fomoko1 You have a neat pair of Ford trucks.
Thanks, I'm quite fond of them.
The diesel Was my fathers, he sold it to me when I got rid of my 88 F-250.
I also had a 1991 F-150 2WD Auto that was absolutely RUST FREE.

My father and I got the 1991 stuck in a snowbank and the transmission went trying to get it unstuck, Had 390,000km on it.

So It sat for quite some time waiting to be fixed,which never really happened. Then my uncle decided To buy it from me for the cab and box to put on his 92 diesel.

I have seen Aaron's thread he's doing a great job!

That '91 looks somewhat familiar??? Only it's a bit short. Welcome to the group. Always good to see another 'toban on here. Love the '78. My BIL has one just like that. Unfortunately it's one of those I'll get to it projects.
