Cool! I have a 75 with 2wd and a 429. Did you install the 460?? Details, give me details!! I just found a crewcab 2wd to get the big brakes and heavier running gear from. I have the 4wd stuff, but holding on to it for other projects.

the 460 is factory, so is the a/c and cruise(cruise not working)

One strange thing is that my truck sits about 2 1/2" higher than the 2WD supercabs I have seen. All suspension parts look factory.

I have had the truck about 8 months. 3Rd owner. All numbers match. From what I have learned everything about this truck is 250 except the brakes, so it is classified as a 150 ranger xlt

I picked up a B.C. 76 F250 Ranger SuperCab. It has a really strange mix of parts on it. The motor is a 460, auto trans and 2WD, but the suspension is odd. It has 8 lug wheels, 16x7 on the front and 16x10 on the rear. It has dual tanks and complete dual electrical systems with batteries and solenoids etc....

I really lucked out with this one as the drivetrain is very fresh, suspension all recently rebuilt and a new Dana 60 rear end. Just finishing off the bodywork and expect to have it back on the road by the middle of March.

Its a great old beast but it costs over $150 Cdn to fill up and the previous owner told me that the best he got out of both tanks was 360 miles. The HORROR, may rename the truck "Global Warmer". I will have to take out a loan every time we tow my race car to the track.

Count me in here. 1978 2wd F-150 SuperCab short-bed. Pics in gallery.

Took out the jump seats and put some 6x9's in boxes in the back. Plenty of room!
