This is my 1979 F350 Supercab. It's a 4x4 with the 400 and 4 speed. It was originally purchased out of Hailey, Idaho, but I don't have the complete history. I owned it for about 4 years but decided last year to make it new-ish. I've done some tuning, replaced most of the ignition system so that it starts and runs pretty well. Here it is after I picked it up from the body shop last Thursday...
Future projects:
Fix starter issue (bendix not engaging, intermittant)
Original wheels (16s, not the 16.5s according to the Marti Report)
Spray-in bedliner
Exhaust
Enjoy!
By the way...The paint is new but the color is the factory original "Medium Blue Glow" and "Wimbledon White". It's beautiful.

Hale, may I ask... what did that place charge you for your paint job? My supercab is green/white with all the trim... which makes it cost more I'm sure. With all these nice "new" looking trucks, I've been wondering how many nuts/arms/legs/first born owners have been giving up to get these new coatings on their rigs.

Charlie-
I'm not into "new truck" money, but I could have been, with a few more steps or a little worse of a truck. This was not a frame-off restoration...about 65%. My truck started with a rough paint job, no straight sheet-metal and a flatbed but...the engine had been rebuilt and the rest of the mechanical was fair. My regret: I saw a clean F350 SC 4x4 out of California (with automatic...not my bag) listed for less than 20K on eBay. I would have been ahead to ditch this one and buy that one. But I'm stubborn.

Beautiful truck, and what mine would've looked like if you switched the blue bits for Copper Metallic - I wish mine was somewhere even in the same state, let alone ball park, for condition, though
My '76 2wd only "had" lap belts for the rear bench. I say "had" because they were so dry rotted/moth eaten when I got the truck I pulled them out to dissuade anyone from getting in the back! To be replaced with new ones soon.
