That's a mean/clean looking truck you got there. How much lift and what size tires you got on it?

3" body lift and 6" suspension lifts with 44's. Not enough lift tires rub the front of the fenders if turned shape.

Making decent progress....... So far I have got it running. Cleaned both carbs., (It has a tunnel ram with duel 600 Holleys) drained the gas tank and lines. Put 10 gallons of fresh gas in it and fired it up. Did a full tune up on it and got it running pretty good. Removed the roll bar, push bar, ladder bars and axel trusses. I am not going to put that stuff back on. I want to get it back to looking like a stock 1978 F-150 with lift and big tires. If anyone wants any of the above stuff I removed and lives close to southern N.Y. let me know and you can take a look at it. Washed it all up and cleaned the interior. It is starting to look like it used to.
