man that is one NICE truck....i love the 78/79 sc's

RedTruck · Nov 26, 2007

Wow.

Super clean install. I think the best ones are the ones that if you didn't know any better you can't tell they aren't factory.

Great job! Sharp rig!

That deserves an ATABOY ;Sweet

Good work.

Now clean those dash vents and replace that carpet :backoff

I'll say it again--Nice truck !
Have you put any thought into the clearance btwn the A/C plenum and the pass. valve cover ?
I was thinking that someday when I feel like getting aggravated I,ll pull the plenum out and see if I can't make it 2 piece.

Here's an older pic of mine

The old Fords rock. I'm partial to the 67 - 72's too but they don't have the driveability of the 73 - 79's.

Why thank you Tonkadoctor!!! That is the original carpet in that thing. I will replace it this summer. I'll get on the vents as well. But I just rolled the thing right out of the shop when I took the pics......

That is the beauty when you use a 3" body lift. I didn't want too but I had too...

Isn't that truck in Readers Rigs this month?

smokin69 · Nov 27, 2007

With that big pipe shooting out the side I don't think anyone will have a problem following your licence plate.

geonc · Nov 27, 2007

AWESOME! The effort and attention are quite evident :hail

I give a 99.9 :thumbsup:

Only "minor" thing I see {besides Tonks'a nitpicky carpet and vents ;p LOL

} is the missing serpentine belt setup----the missing .1 percent ;Sweet

'79 Ferds have a soft spot with me.....My first "new" off the showroom floor truck was a std cab '79 4x4

With that big pipe shooting out the side I don't think anyone will have a problem following your licence plate.

I second that!

Agnem · Nov 27, 2007

Very nice job! ;Sweet

Too bad you're west coast. That would be great to see at one of our annual IDI Weekend events.

dieselbeef · Nov 27, 2007

my brother did an 86 crew cab dually gas truck and put a 02 powerstroke in it with all the electronics as well. its quite a conversion.
