Wow, that 68 crew is too expensive for a 2wd. I only paid $1000 for my 70 CC Highboy with no rust in the cab mounts and the rain gutters. I paid $1800 for 76 CC Highboy with a LP front 60. They are cheap up here in Alaska. Everybody wants a Stupid Duty.

The truck is very rare, it has the rear window defroster which was a factory option and only 13 crewcabs were made with this option. I just found a 1979 f350 crewcab 2wd longbed with a 460 motor on craigslist for $3,400 which going to be my first truck, with an included supercab parts truck. I also bought an f350 crewcab longbed frame from the guy for $100. I'm looking to do a full frame off restoration this summer once we get our new 5 bay shop finished and the concrete floor is put in. I didn't know if any of you guys know how long it would take to do a frame off restoration if I work on it for 8hours everyday. I want to make my truck a 4x4, but I don't know if I want to cut the frame and swap for a true 4x4 frame and use leaf springs up front or convert it to 4x4 by using coil springs and a front axle from a f150 4x4 and attaching traction bars, I also want to put a 4-6 inch lift on the truck and I don't know how each set up will work (leaf springs or coil springs) with this amount of lift (axle wrap). Any suggestions???

I'm that "guy". While the rear window defrost is a factory option it was not an option on this particular crewcab. I bought that window from a friend in NY and put it in myself.

Correct, at least for the Diesels I know thats when it stopped before picking up the NBS in 99.

Were the 98 F250/F350 gassers in the OBS?

Believe the 98 F250/350 gasser body style was like the F150 BS Fugly!
97 diesels w/obs were sold into 98 until 99s came out.

Pretty sure it was no F-250's or 350's at all (gasser or diesel) in '98. They just had the HD F-150 which was the 7 lug truck. They did however keep selling whatever "OBS" (HATE that terms as if a 92-96 is "old" body style, then what is my '74???) trucks hadn't been sold from '97
