Uhm I think your cab is junk too. From a third party point of view.... If you were to see how much LESS work a complete rust free truck is to restore, and if you had an accurate tally of how much time you would spend trying to fix what you have, loosing the sentimental attachment seems attractive. I would strip any attractive interior parts and transfer them over to the new truck you buy, assuming it doesn't have it. I know my time is important to me, my girls only stay the same age for a day, and the ol lady doesnt like me out in the garage from 8PM to midnight working on "junk"

Ok, I am done beating the horse.

Numberdummy emailed me this information.

D9TZ-5005-V .. Frame-155" wheelbase

Fits: 1978/79 F150 4WD S/Cab / 1978/79 F250 4WD S/Cab / 1979 F350 S/Cab.

Cliffnotes, any 78-79 Supercab frame will work. I know a little birdie with a F250 (or f150 cant remember)SC frame and cab looking for a new home :>D Cab has some minor pinholes in the floor, frame has been POR15 coated, with a touch of surface rust, but otherwise perfect.

you know maybe i might do that, we will see what happens with the economy next year and such, i could strip the axles, tranny, t-case, probably the cab since it doesnt look that bad to me, and the front clip is good too, engines not bad but id rather have a 460 or a diesel. oh and that camper i could sell. oh and btw im 19, so i got time and energy to work on this girl if necessary.
