Yesterday I bought this ‘76 to replace my other ‘76 crew project. 300 six, 4 speed, and it’s converted to the late model power steering box. It needs some work but made it over the Snoqualmie Pass no problem.

Nice score ! _ _ _ and it made it over the pass !
I purchased a mechanic's special '78 F250 Crew 4x4, from a local Logging Company, and drove it in reverse on back roads to get it home.
The supposed "recent rebuilt 400M I bought off the trader paper had stuck rings. De-carboning the rings by removal was tedious.
The 400M in the truck had a Rod Knock of course, so that was the reason for the Trader paper re-furb engine.
I actually drove that dang pickup for a year with the rod knock. hahaha _ _ then swapped engines
The C6 in the pickup I took to my fav trans rebuilder and had him freshen it up. _ _ I sold the pckup to a Fed-Ex guy who pulled me over to ask.
In the meantime, I was "constructing" the '77 F350 Crew that I still keep running, licensed and insured.
When I converted the F350 2wd Chassis to 4x4, I simply used '76 F250 4x4 front springs, shackles and frame brackets.
The F350 2wd was a Long-Bed pickup, and I needed an 8-foot bed, and found one off of a Std cab '78 F250 with fuel doors. _ bonus.
If you are trading-up on Crews, that is Cool. _ _ Even some of the Gen-Z guys like the early Crews. _ _ the Crew's are just Nostaligic.
