76 F250 Supercab. I am the third owner. It has 97,ooomiles with factory A/C that still blows cold, camper special with dealer added tiedowns and had a topper which I sold because it was to heavy for me to lift. Bought it to haul the camper but sold the camper and bought a travel trailer. 14,500 lbs combined weight and the 390 never misses a beat. Ten years ago I built a 390 for my 1964 f250 4x4 which is still purring, but no airconditioning. I use it to get into the mountains during hunting season and for hauling. The 76 is just for comfort while towing. Like them both. wish the 76 was 4x4.

 

i have 76 f250 2wd super-cab 360 4spd (what i assume to be factory air)rubber floor mat bench rear seat

 

Hi All -

I have a 1978 F350 Supercab Ranger XLT Trailer special. 7.5L 460 with the C6 and dual exhaust with a crossover. PS, PB and A/C. I'm supposedly the 4th owner, and it's an original Arizona RUST FREE Truck.

My truck was Manufacturued 10/77 but it has the Square Headlights. Is this changed out? I thought they went to the square headlights in middle of the '78 production year?

-Chris

 

I believe the ranger package gives you squares in 1978.

 

From what I gather reading other threads, that in 78 ONLY the "CUSTOM" level trucks had the round headlights?

Hey, I just bought a 1979 SuperCab f-250 Ranger Trailer Special 4x4 a week ago. It appears to have a 460, although the VIN tag shows it should have a 400. Mileage reads 10,000 - obviously 110,00 or 210,000. I don't know much about it other than it is in pretty nice shape and runs great. It has a bench rear seat. It was on a used lot for $3999, I traded my fj40 LandCruiser for it straight across. So far, I love it.

A '79 F-350 Supercab 4x4. 85,000 orig. mi. Lariat w/air, cruise, tilt, camper package, etc. Original Ocean City, Ca. truck that now will probably spend the rest of my life in Ct. Stored inside for the winters.

 

On the first post on this thread there is mention of a registry for crewcab owners. I have looked for this but have been unable to find it.

 

hello everyone,
I have a 1979 supercab, 4X4 long bed, dana 44 up front and dana 60 in the rear. It contains a bored out 400, headers, Dualed out exhaust, single plain EB intake, 4 barrel EB 650 carb. Its riding on 35's on 16" wheels. I absolutely love this truck. Only wish I had a 4 door cab! There are no other trucks like this one in my area. so it it quite a converation starter at the gas station. The frame up restoration hopefully will begin in febuary 2005. I can't wait!!!!

 

OK, my apologies for posting "parts" stuff here, but I just saw these on eBay and I was about to post (in the RIGHT place) and I saw the shout out to all you Supercab owners and I figured I'd bend the rules a little. Sorry!

Need Seats? I saw these tonight, and right now they're at $20. Here's the info, hope one of you can use them! Cameron

Hi, Up here in PA, I've got two supercabs. Both are 8 ft beds, one is 2wd F-250 and the other is a 4x4 F-250. I,m building the 4x4 in to a custom truck, adding 8 inches to the cab to put 6 inch stack out the back of the cab. With a 7.3 Intnational powering the truck. That the plains, as long I get the time for the project I'm happy to here that there are so many of this trucks out there. Have a great day.

 

May as well chime in as well...

79 F-250 Supercab, white, only slightly rusty (which will get fixed in teh spring), with bucket seats and a bench jump seat. Rest of the stats are in the signature

BTW - in regd's to this:

I have to agree - I just got done spending two weeks hunting in the Utah Backcountry (damned deep in the Rocky Mountains), and while I should've bought stock in at least three oil companies before I left, the 460 did wonders in dragging my 25' dual-axle camper over some damned ugly roads. (The trailer weighs about 9200 lbs or so when it's fully loaded, as this one was.)

In spite of the fact that I don't have stabilizer bars on the hitch, that old monster and its wheelbase made the whole drive there and back rather comfortable. There was only one time when I couldn't literally accelerate up a hill, and that was because not even a fairly loaded Peterbilt could manage it without bogging down... and on that hill, I could still maintain a steady speed. Aside from that one exception, I found that on hills where my buddies' newer rigs would usually bog down, I only had to stomp on the pedal, open up the back barrels, and I could actually accelerate at any point in the haul. (One was a Chevy Yukon... had a ball laughing at him as I passed him on one particularly nasty hill... <img> .)

Oh, and did I mention that the truck bed also held a 55-gallon drum full of drinking water, a full toolbox, quite a few jerry-cans of gasoline, a pallet I use as a porch, and a couple of large (and full) propane tanks for the trailer?

I will say one thing - in spite of the ungodly long wheelbase, that old beast is pretty nimble when it has to be - I never had a problem navigating what are usually considered to be 4x4-only roads (though in fairness I did avoid the real nasty stuff...)

/P

 

I am trying to get this thing ready for next spring, I need help finding what I think are called cab supports or floor supports. they run from rocker to rocker any help out there. Where can you buy these things.

 

i have a 78 supercab long bed 4x4 400 ci,auto,np205....lets keep the registry idea alive, I think alot of us would love see that happen.
