My first Dentside, Warning Big Pics

Im new here and just recently got my first dentside, now makes me the 3rd person in my family to own one. Mine is a 1977 F150 Custom, 351M, 4sp, 4x4. My brother has a 1977 F250 Custom, 300, 4spd, 2wd. My stepdad had a 1977 F250 Highboy, 400M, 4spd, that he bought brand new, Im trying to dig up some old pictures of that.

Heres a couple of pics of my rig, and my brothers.

Mine, you can see my D/D Ranger in the background




My Brothers

Thanks, the prevoius owner was an old rancher that liked his welder, that thing is bolted and welded to the frame.

I was wondering, what year did they stop putting fuel tanks in the cab? I heard it was 1975, but my truck has one, but my brothers doesnt though. Im thinkin it may not be the original cab.

Those bumpers were a pretty big aftermarket item back in the early 80's. Hickey used to sell a ton of those, that was the look everyone wanted.


77 was the last year for in cab tanks.
