Regular Cab with coil spring front suspension, or Super Cab with leaf spring front suspension?

In rust belt east coast/PA that might be a hard find. Have you joined and asked you state chapter? Craigslist parts truck, blown motor, bad trans makes things cheaper. Remember the paper title goes with the frame and not the body.

PA chapter link. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum182/

It is a regular cab with front coil springs. I didn't know anything about the state chapter, I will look into it. Yes most of the local stuff I am finding is as bad as what I have.

Reg cab front coils...way easier to find than a SC 5 lug 1/2 ton with front leafs. Talk to your chapter folks, you never know what your FTE neighbors might have in the back yard.

I'll get pics tomorrow and I'll talk to my buddy, as it's part of a shared collection of 67-79 Ford trucks and related junk. If I had to guess, I'd say 6 maybe 700 dollars. Everything is there and it was a low mileage truck that was parked in the early ,90s IIRC.
