78 F250 Crew progress
Last year I got a '78 and a '79 Crew cab. Both shortbed 4x4's.
The '79 had a better body, but had a 460, and would be IM hell, so I swapped a 400 into the '78 and got it going. It is running great, drove it to work for the second time today.
This summer I am going to swap the other cab on, as well as go from a 4-spd to a C6.
I am also thinknig about lifting it anough to run 35's. I shouldn't need but 2 or 3" right?
I will try to get some pics and put them in the gallery soon.
Just wanted to let you know there is one more old crew cab on the road!

I got my stretched F-150 back this week. started to strip it down to get ready for the crewcab install. when done it will be a F-150 longbed crewcab, with dual tanks in the bed.
pictures to come.
also I will be building the wife a super-shortbed crew from my regular cab F-250. (ranger XLT) my wife doesn't need the bed length, and the steering radius stinks on the crew shortbed she has.
by early summer we should have three crews cruising around, the F-600, her F-250, and my F-150 longbed
