I am picking up my first restoration project truck tomorrow. Its a 1976 F-250. Its in pretty good shape, but its going to need some TLC. For those of you out here who have gone down this road, what are some good sites, or manufacturers to look to for parts? I appreciate any advice.
I am wrapping up my restoration on mine. I used Jeffs Bronco Graveyard, LMC and Summit heavily all with very good results. Rock Auto and USA1 Interiors for a few items with good results and a few others with less than stellar results.

Sorry for the delay. Here a pic of it. I will get some more uploaded when it gets delivered. With this being a highboy, I read the stock suspension rides about 2" higher is that correct? Also, the Skyjacker kit seems to be one of the most recommended. Planning on running 37's. From those with experience, Will the 4" Skyjacker lift be enough, or am I going to need blocks as well? I didn't see any 6" options. The steering was upgraded of the '78 style, but have heard these things drive like steam rollers. Any good recommendations on additional steering upgrades?
