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.

I'm gonna have to skim through this thread. Started here and went back to about pg 251... some sweet rides in here.
I picked up a 76 F350 back in 2018...finally getting back to it and basically started over. Truck started it's original life as a chassis cab truck. I was going to put it on an 01 7.3/ ZF6 Powerstroke SD chassis cab rolling chassis. After recent research, I changed things up and went with a SD CC chassis as the 79 bed bolts right up. During the frame shortening process, we discovered the frame was bent up front...so we had to use 2 different chassis to make 1.
This is how i got it. It doesn't have the correct mirrors, but i'll eventually fix that
This is where we got to back in 2018 on 01 chassis cab
This is where we are now. next step is to cut off SD cab mounts and reposition them for the 76 cab
I bought this F100 back around 2018 as well and was going to use it as a donor...but not sure anymore. Might just keep it as is and rebuild the 460 and do bodywork on the crewcab
