Bought a 78 crewcab..
Hey guys
Picked up this 78 f350 crewcab a couple weeks ago... older guy used it to pull his 5th wheel before he passed... Factory 460 truck but he put a 429 thunder jet in it with a propane system on it.. Been sitting 7 years.. Here are some pictures when I got it..

All of the F350 crew cabs of this vintage with a standard fleetside bed had single rear wheels. The only crew cab duallys that were made came in a cab-and-chassis version with no bed. So either someone swapped in the dually wheels (and front hubs/rotors), or somenoe added a bed to a cab-and-chassis truck.
Either way, this truck looks fantastic, it looks like that's even the original paint and in super condition.
So unless someone swapped it out, the rear end is just the the standard Dana 70 that came with the truck.

Like I said it was a cab and chassis... with a bed put on.. has a dana 70... Been repainted... cab was all green before repaint... I paid $1200 : ) but wouldn't sell it for even close to that.. I will have around $1800 in it plus my labor..
