Well, it's been quite some time since I've posted any pictures of Buford, so I figured I should stop by and share. A couple weeks ago, I was lucky enough to have been asked to bring Buford to a photo shoot for a hot rodding magazine in the local area. I was able to schmooze access to an old industrial site, and we took the pictures there. While I'd never post all of them (as they sent me 118 pictures in total), here are a few of the ones that I happened to like. Enjoy!
My first post. I have a 78 2wd f250 ranger long bed crew cab with no rust, 80k original miles, automatic ,460 ,fresh valve job but has not been driven in over 5 years. My first thought was to convert it to 4wd but now thinking of selling. Anybody have a good idea on what to start at? I am in the Tulsa area.

This is the Supercab thread. However, Welcome to FTE Plenty of helpful folks here you can rely on to do what ever you decide. To start I would work on getting it running. You'll lose a lot of money if you sell it as is. Replace fuel and fluids first.
If you keep it, it all depends on what you want and your skill level. If you really have no rust and would like a 4x4, I would look for a good chassis and swap the body. Finding a rust free 4x4 is like finding a unicorn and would cost you $$$$$$$$$.
Thanks for the information. I mistyped the initial post and meant to say supercab. One more question, do people like converted f250 2wd to 4wd trucks near as much and factory 4wd? You mentioned that it is difficult to find a rust free 4wd. thanks

Factory is always preferred, but I personally don't think it would make that much difference. Technically the official vin is stamped on the frame, so if you swapped a 4x4 frame under body, it is a factory 4x4 with new body. You can get door warranty plates to match.
Also IMO, you should only put money and effort into what you want if you plan to keep the truck. You can never get back what you put into these trucks, they are not 66 mustang fastbacks.
I recently put Mustang buckets in my SuperCab to make rear seat more accessible for my little nephews when they sit back there. They love being able to walk between the front seats to get in and out.
I made some good changes to the rear seat area. I added 3-point belts back there so my nephews can sit there using their mandatory booster seats. The seat belts are from an '90 SuperCab's rear seats.
I also turned my rear seat's seatback upholstery upside down so that the rolled pleats are at the top of the cushion and the piped edge is at the bottom. Easy to do, and I think it looks so much nicer than the sagging piping at the top.
