Kinda odd I never noticed this thread until now....some of you are aware of Buford, which has been a work in progress for me. He's a 1979 F250 Ranger XLT Supercab Trailer Special, with a 434 stroker, C6, NP205, Dana 60/44 with 4.10's. I've been working on him now for a couple years, but I'm actually getting near the homestretch.
I've begun the wiring process, and once that's done the interior will be going in, and the final additions will be made. I've got my own thread on my build "Progress on Buford", but I haven't really been able to make much progress lately, so I haven't updated it. I'm hoping after the new year that I'll begin updating things again when I get some noticeable steps completed.
Anyway, figured I'd chime in even if Buford isn't on the road yet.

Here is a picture of my project truck. 79 Ranger XLT F350, 460 c6 2wd. I got it from the original owner. Needs new paint, interior and engine components that go bad over time. The truck sat for 5 years before I got it running. Runs and drives but again needs, plugs, wires, carb rebuilt and so on to get it sound. Great buy at $300....

I guess I better wake this thread up and post my pic too. I've been on the forum for quite a while and haven't ever come across this thread. Maybe we'll get some more action now. This is one of my favorite pics:
1979 F150 SC (w/F250 axles); 400, NP435, 4:10's, 6 in lift, 35's on 18 in wheels, dual tanks, factory A/C. In the process of freshening up the 400 a little and maybe a C6 swap OR some slightly higher gears for mileage reasons. Also getting rid of the jumper seats to make way for a bench for the kids (and the subwoofer).

I didnt know they made jumper seats in the back. In my SC i have a bench that folds flat, which is soo nice for hunting trips or other times you need to store things inside.
