i know this is for 73-79 crews.... but i like my slicks... and after reading... and thinking... and trying to figure out something that would look cool... and no one that i might ever know would have... is a uni-body...(integeral cab) crew cab... you guys know what im talking about dont you... the body style made from 61-63 (i think they starte in 61) where the body and the bed are all one piece... wouldnt it be kind of cool to take the bed and cab of a uni, and weld it to the back of another truck, making it into a uni-crew cab?

I wont buy another ford
I have 2 crew cabs one is a 2002 4x4 7.3 and the other is a 2007 4x4 crew cab 6.0 and both have body and paint problems the 2002 roof is getting a hole in it and has no other body rust not even the frame. the 2007 paint is bubbling up on the hood and the passenger door I called ford and ask about them about fixing the the hood and door and they just blowed me off. In the warr. it says "defect in factory material and workmanship" this sucks the truck is not even 2 years old and they won't fix there defect built ford tough must mean driving a truck that looks like crap. They made up my mind I will park it in my yard and put a big sign on it. that ford does not stand behind it craftmans ship..

PLEASE - pay attention to what thread you are in before coming on here and ranting. I too am not a fan of new fords (or 99.9% of newer cars in general), but this thread is NOT the place for that

You guys seem to know whats up in the world of crew cabs.
Can anyone tell me about a dentside crew cab 4x4 for sale anywhere near Jackson, MO, (I'm willing to go pretty far too.)
Preferably a short bed, but the 4x4 is most important, I'd like to have the whole truck too.

OK, so I dont know where I live... I'm in south-WEST Indiana (I'm not sure where "southeast" came from). Looks less than 3hrs from Jackson. The '78 is driven daily, and will go right on the 4wd frame. The fame sits on a D60 rear, high-pinion D44 front, both with 3.55:1 gears. No T-case, but a 400M & C6 (2wd) with low miles are sitting on it, if you want them. The '78 has excellent floorboards, but typical rust above the drip rails.
