Here's my 1978 F250 4x4 - has about 4K miles on it since I restored and repowered it, and will never be that clean again is my fear! It is coated with road grime and anti-skid they pour on the roads here in Colorado, but I built it to drive, not to park it, so it's gonna get dirty.
It has a 1997 Cummins 6bt, 5spd, Dana 60's, seats from a 1999 F350, soundproofed, 2" body lift, 285/75R16 BFG's, boost/egt gauges, Line-X. I did all the work, paint included, except for the linex and head rebuild (though I put it back together with a new engine gasket kit). The bed is a 1975 F100, so the fuel door doesn't match the year. I've seen a low of 18mpg, and a high of 21mpg driving this empty, about 60% highway. Not towed with it yet, but will.
Keep fixing and keep driving these folks!

P.s. to get the picture, I had to load it to my gallery, then use the "forum codes" to get a link back over to this post.

Heres my crewcab- starting to actual tear it apart and put it on newer 7.3 running gear. Been built almost 9 years and wanted to do that in the begining but it was 99 and couldnt afford to rip a new truck apart for it.
I also have a blue and white crew 2wd.
