I just bought a 1978 F-250 extended cab 4x4 out of California. It has a 460 and a C-6 transmission. As soon as I got it back here to New Mexico I started the disassembly. Now the work begins!!!

How many still out there? That's a good question, what to te US. concerns I've only been as far north as Houston Tx. But let me tell you that I haven't seen so much of them, I guess the reason is because in te USA is easier to change your vehicle than in my country, here down south of the border this trucks are pretty common or popular I don't know what's the right term they are used for everything from construction workers to even sell tacos in the street hehe (that's a shame I know). Well my 1977 F-150 still going strong.

I've gotta '78 F150 supercab 4x4 351M auto trans. This truck came out of Arkansas, and theres no through rust anywhere on her. I just joined about 5 minutes ago and dont have any pictures on here yet. I'll try to get some pix of her tomorrow and get them on here. In the mean time does anybody know how much of a body lift can go under these trucks with out having to do any mods? Thanks for any help you can send my way.

Supercab

Just bought a 78 F250 4x4 Supercab. I'm looking for a bed for it. How do I know if it's a long bed or a short bed? It has dual tanks, so maybe that answers it. Perhaps someone can let me know how to tell, and if they know of an affordable bed. Thanks guys.

A couple ways. Measure the length of the bed - or give us the wheel base off the VIN tag in the door and we can tell you.
