new here
Im new here just thought I would say hi and post a few pics of my Ford.
It's a 76, I plan on getting it painted in the spring with some bigger tires and possibly more lift.

Welcome to the site. That lift looks pretty good right now, the new tires might change that though. Don't forget to join the PA Chapter.

I'll be honest I do prefer the 76-77 grille over the 78-79 grille, but at least you kept the roundies!

Yeah I am torn in the middle. The previous owner switched the grille & I really like the 76-77 I am just not sure yet. I am in the process of buying new trim for the windows and new door handles. I already have new mirrors, need to get new tailights and then it's time for some paint. I will decide on the grille swap after I get it painted.

Welcome to FTE. Nice truck. I like the 73-77 grill with black inserts the best. But the 78 is kind of unique.
