thanks. It's just too bad that seat got dumped for a set of tan ones out of a 06 or so.

I still have the brackets for that old one though and may be interested in selling. I'd like to see if they will work on my newer seats beofre I let them go, but if not someone else might be able to grab a "pre-done" set!

ChaseTruck754 - What did you use for a rear seat? Another front seat out of a late 90's truck?

When I had the grey seat out of the 99 I was going to use the seat out of my dodge diesel - motor donor. It was a clost color/style match - but not perfect.
After I spend all that time putting the 99 seat in I came across a deal on a set of tan seats (front and rear) out of a '06 Crew cab Stupid-duty at a price I couldn't pass up - so I grabbed um.

I sold the 99 seat for more than half of what I paid for the '06 seats - which was even more than I originally paid for it

I have seen people run 2 front seats in these things - and it is a cool setup. If you can find matching ones - it is even cooler than my matching ones out of a newer crew cab

You talking to me? And if so - by bed panels do you mean fiberglass bed sides?

If so - then Autofab Offroad Trucks has them. I think Perry's Fab and Fiber has them as well - but he uses later model tail lights in them

Bedsides are about $600-$700 for these things

Truck bed Pannels

Sorry I was not more specific.What I ment was the bed pan or cargo area.I have a 1977 crewcab with a transplanted 428 short bed with a dana 70 rear end.The exterior of the bed is in great shape but the cargo area has had very heavy objects dropped in it .I would like to replace them.I think this is great ,having a web sight for ford crewcabs.Thanks again for your time.

Owner of a new to me '77 crew, 460, c6 and what I'm pretty sure is a 4.10 or 4.11 posi rear. Not sure on the maker as I haven't really looked it over that hard yet. It needs a bed and cab corners. Anyone know of a place to get cab parts for a crew? Sorry if it's been covered I just don't have the time to search through 23 pages.

I think you are SOL. Most of the crew specific pieces are not made in reproduction, you will either have to make do with something else, or try and find used.(fleabay, craigslist, FTE classifieds, etc etc) Anything else, should be abundant in the aftermarket.

pfogle most of the pieces that rust out on these trucks utilize the same pieces / parts as the regular cabs. The crews are basically a stretched reg. cab. I replaced lower door posts (front and rear, both sides for all doors), cab corners, etc and got the parts from Tabco. If you need other floor or roof pieces, happy fabricating!!! I had to make a few pieces for the floor of my crew.

No. A friend of mine has a 1979 f250 two wheel drive supercab shortbox with dual tanks

Looks like the white one in the pic has a nice guard front bumber. Is it a winch mount too? Are these items available for sale?
