You bought the blue one too?

If you drive that back to SoCal, I will buy you a beer.

No just the red one. it would have been a fun roadkill stile mission to fly up and drive it back but I did not. It was cheaper to have it shipped then drive up and get it.

Well, you are taking on a big project, but the end result will be worth it.

There is a Crew Cab Thread at the top of the 73-79 forum section, check it out. And there is a SoCal Chapter, you can find it at the bottom of the main page.

I doubt the radio delete bezel is reproduced, but there is more than just one.

With or without factory installed integral A/C? Black camera case finish or walnut wood grain finish?

Factory installed integral A/C is combined with the heater. The A/C controls are in the same panel as the heater controls.

Both types used in 1973/79 F100/350 & 1978/79 Bronco.

D3TZ-10044D70-A .. Instrument Panel Cluster Opening Finish Panel-Painted Finish-Use without radio & integral A/C / Obsolete

1973/79 F100/350 & 1978/79 Bronco.

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any. It's not listed in Carpenter's 1967/79 truck repro parts catalog.

Carpenter does have 4 different types, but all have the cut-out for the radio.

Been messing around with the truck when I have time. Frame was striped and painted. Front seat has been recorded. Front lift is on new tires and wheels. Tomorrow I'm dropping it off at a exhaust shop so it don't **** everyone off every time I start it to move it. After the exhaust its paint and body time

Looking good. I like your wheels and tires. With no tailgate and the saggy rear it looks a bit like a pre-runner. Your wheels are similar to mine though I can tell they're not exactly the same.



I'm ready to get the exhaust on my crew cab right now too so I'm interested in seeing and hearing your end result. I logged in just now to post a question in the crew cab only thread asking about exhaust setups specific to crew cabs, so maybe you can post your results/pics up there too when the exhaust is done.
