chassis help

Hi to all. new member from Oz. Bought what I thought was a 77 F350 crew cab 4WD.Since I joined FTE and have checked the VIN on the cab and chassis it turns out the cab is off a 77 F350 2WD-460 motor and C6 tranny.The chassis is 78 F250 4WD- 300ci motor.It does have a divorced transfer case though.Would anyone have a pic of a bare chassis as mine has some mods at the front and I would like to take it back to original.Also, the badges I was given are F 350 Ranger- would these be correct?Gotta say this is a great forum!
Cheers

Yep I read it wrong would still be neat, but I like the short beds looks on the crews.
