That is a pretty neat 78! And clean too...

You guys make me wish I hadn't put my 73 F100 project to the side right after I replaced the cab. Or my 77 F250 Highboy.

So does the truck really run that quiet? Or is it the camera?

That is generally the noise level they run at.

This is great, by far my favorite body style. I've wanted one since I was 16, and with my recent finding and interest in the old 7.3s this makes me drool.

Nice, that's a clean looking setup you have got there. That gauge cluster fits in the 79 bezel great too.

It does run pretty quiet, quieter than I was anticipating. can listen to the radio or carry on a conversation comfortably while driving.

These trucks are so easy to work on too... and the 7.3 solves the issue of a finicky carburetor

Would it be possible to get the dimensions of the side portions of the engine mounts? I'd like to make set of my own. Thanks
