'74 CC 4x2 FS
Hey guys, I just started a thread in the 73-79 section about a 1974 CC for sale. I posted VIN to be decoded. not my truck, I was looking to buy but am going to pass on it.
Just wanted to give anyone looking for a crew cab a heads up. I can also provide a honest description for a potential buyer if needed. PM me

A quick confirmation, please....
If I want to replace a long bed out of a 79 F350 crew cab 2WD, the majority of 73-79 long beds will work? Excluding number of fuel doors, etc., of course.
I did try a bit of searching but couldn't find anything conclusive. Thanks--Dan

Well Dan I assume you got the crew you were looking at.measure the frame 79 should be the 37 in frame outside to outside, but so is the 78 and the one I got is still the 34 inch frame.
If it is the 37 any 2X box will fit and 4x f240 77.5 to 79 without drilling new holes.
Did you get a good deal and is it as nice as it looked.

Well....I'm close to getting it but haven't pulled the trigger yet
The rear dually fender flares are metal and have some rust issues, so I'm concerned that a new bed might be in order and just want to figure out the options. Otherwise it's in very good shape. No rust underneath or, from what I can tell, in drip rail areas. Interior is quite nice. The purchase range will likely be 1800-2200. Dan

Engine ain't the prettiest sight...and I'm not entirely sold on a 2x4, but it does meet a different need in the family (hauling more people) and I could do some project-type things with it. I doubt I'd go for converting it to 4x4 but I'm thinking that doing away with the dually is in the future.

The guy doesn't know, but from what I can guess (from reading here and elsewhere) it's just adapters in the rear. If not I'll just deal with it and have another "project" I guess!

Reminds me of the Special Decor Group stripes on the early Bronco.
