Very nice job! Crazy work you did on the bed!
I looking to buy a 78/79 to do a similiar project as you did. My dad had a '78 Ranger XLT that is the exact paint as yours (also had a 79 Bronco at the same time). I am a mechanic, not a body guy. It seem impossible to find a completly rust free bed.. any tips on what is the eaist rust to repair (or cheapest when you have to pay a shop to do it)? Rust above wheels, rust in bottom of bed etc. Any hidden spots to check on these trucks? My tread is here https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...rust-free.html Sorry dont mean to hijack your thread.. just want dads old truck back too.

Wow that is an awesome story and SUPER truck! I really think the resto is awesome! Would you want to let the old wheels go for a bargain to someone who would put them to awesome use, would you? If so, e
