Looking for some more ideas for seatbelts with the rear bench seat. Thinking on going into seatbelts for two in the back because I honestly can't see a time when there'll be three in the back.
ANNNNND another thing. Has anyone with the front/side mount aux tank removed it? Got a hole in it, can't find a replacement and am going to get it repaired by a radiator guy near me and want to know how hard is it to remove? Do I have to lift the bed? Considering I'm doing all my work on a paver driveway of a town home, can't just throw it on the two poster and lift it off!
Cheers! And lets keep seeing the SuperCabs on the road!

 

Dude! That thing looks like a ton of fun waiting to happen!

 

Thanks! I can't wait to get into it. It's current ly in the shop getting some issues addressed.

 

This is a 1975 f250 with a bb 460 and c6 auto was in some sort of accident I suspect a sideswipe because one side has huge dents and bondo thicker than a belt it's a ranger and trailer special it has a 76 front clip because of that

 

I removed my Aux tank by myself... very simple. Was easier than removing the rear tank. It's easier to get to the hose and wire connections at the sending unit compared to the rear tank. Took mine to a radiator shop to have it cleaned out. Be careful with the sending unit. Just like that tank... the sender is not available. Mine wasn't working, but I was able to repair and clean out the area where the wiper runs along the resistor. Works fine now. Since it's long and awkward, might be a good idea to get an extra hand to re-install it. I did it by myself, but not without mouth full of cuss words. Having someone to help hold it in place while strapping it in would have made life a lot easier. You might look into getting a new gasket for the sender at LMC.
Good luck.

 

I've been wanting a supercab for a long time and I picked this up in Nov. for a steal. So here's my newest project. It started out as a longbed 75 F100 supercab. Now it's a shortbed. Was a factory 390 truck but someone put a 351m/FMX in it.

 

Great Project!

 

I don't remember ever posting my SC in this thread. Here is Tug, my 74 F250 SC Camper Special Ranger XLT the day I brought him home.


Here he is in the driveway waiting to be re-powered. The original 390 was seized up good. Replaced with a 300 I6 in 2014. Now going back to a 390.

 

Just bought a 1979 F150 supercab ranger xlt. 460 with 4 barrel carb automatic trans. Pretty good shape all things considered. Needs tlc but what 40 year old truck dont? Hope i can learn things here.

 

that's nice. Mine has the jump seats not the full bench 😢

 

 

Dang that seems like a lot of articulation for one if these trucks..

 

Work in progress. 75 F250 Ranger 390 4V c6 front converted to 78 round eyes. 2x

 

 

On the way to the airport back in June for a 3-week vacation in England - bed full of three suitcases, two spare child car seats, carry on bags, etc. Five in the cab - kids in back, my wife, me and mother-in-law (who drove us to the airport and back).
