I am looking for a 73-79 crew cab to swap onto my truck. having a hard time finding one in or near NC, but i was wondering if i could use a 72 or earlier one with the same results? Any input would be appreciated, pm me if possible.

Thanks, Mike

Hi Robbragiel,
I understand what you mean about selling the truck with the camper, and perhaps it won't work. Since we are not into computer stuff my father-in-law is not comfortable selling it on the computer. I am sorry if you were interested, we do not want to sell it here, just typed the message to get some pricing help. I hope to get photobucket to work this weekend.
Thank you for your help, Sharon

Sharon, are you planning on putting it onto Craigslist, or will it be for sale in a local newspaper ad?

Hi Caleb,
My father-in-law is going to park them at the front of the farm this spring with a for sale sign. He has been thinking $2500 for the truck and $1700 for the 1974 Bravo Trailer. They used these together each year for the fair and they really do go together due to the 'inverted' fifth wheel.
Thank you for your advice, Sharon

Does anyone know how much I should ask as a selling price? Feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I have never posted on a forum so please excuse any rules I don't know about.
Thank you.
Im in wv and when you decide on a price let me know. Id like to come take a look at it. Im interested in buying another truck.

It will most likely have a Dana 60 closed knuckle, my 1975 has the 60. Sounds just like my Crew.
It will bring lots of entertaining hours of restoration, hope you enjoy it. Mine is slowly becoming a nice truck, just finished the sound deadening in the doors and roof to get rid of the "PONG" noise when you close the doors.

Its a 79 got the front clip too all rust free and straight. 44 high pinion front and 60 rear came with rebuilt tranny. Its on a super cab long bed frame. Need a bed and a motor. Once it warms up some (hopefully sooner than later) Im gonna pull the cab and clean and paint the frame and go up from there

proud owner of 76 f100 supercab

Hello all i am now a new proud owner of a 1976 ford f100 supercab. this is my first truck i have ever bought on my own and loving it, its got a 390 v8 4 bblwith a 3.00 rearend. When i got it there was hooker headers and a mild racing already installed. it runs and sounds d%$m good but plan on getting some other mufflers to get it even louder. The only bad things was the battery was near about shot and had been converted to a floor shift, whic will be changed asap as it will go into reverse from park on occasions. As 99% of all old trucks ive seen it has its few spots of rustbut nothing major. The bed was primered by the previous owner as were a few spots on the cab to cut down on the rust worked pretty good.I now have a couple questions, since its a bit of a pain to start it sometimes i let it idle if i stay for a short time period the water temp gradually goes up and hits about a third of the gauge it will stall on me when i put it drive. lastly was it ranger xlt or custom model

78 f250 crew cab badges

I need help. I have a 1978 f250 crew cab 4x4 custom that I am fixing up a little and then am going to maybe sell. I am looking for the "crew cab" emblem/badges that go on the front fenders. I have searched the web till I was blue in the face, and no luck. Anyone have any suggestions, or maybe some extra ones you would be willing to part with?
Thanks!
