I see, that looks like a very nice truck. Too bad they didn't make more 4x4's from the factory, that just gives us FORD nuts more time to enjoy wrenching on our projects tho! Keep us informed with an update of your progress!

78 Crew
So far Im 7000$ into the project and I havn't even started. Just bought the crew for 3800.00 and the cummins donor truck for 3200. I shopped for a year before i found a Crew that wasn't all rusted out. Then I just found the cummins donor about 2 days ago. It has a new Auto tranny, and only 114000 miles. I just tore into the ford yesterday. I still need a dana 60 for the front end I think im going to try to put a powerstroke front end in it. Any Ideas what will fit. I just need the tubes I will have Central Four wheel drive put it all together after the powdercoating is done.
