that is a clean truck , not crazy about the rims or the 360 though . i wish my 79 was clean like that

all that work and put a newer steering column in it? why? thats an 80's column and wheel. can see where the original turn signal went. also wunder what the other side of the column looks like where the key was since the key is in the original spot on the dash.\

oh my, that is GORGEOUS! I love that body style too. Too bad Kommiefornia would make you smog it.

So, whats your highest bid, Gary?

I don't know if that wheel is OEM for '76, but the lumber rack that's on my truck came off a '79 F-250 that had that style steering wheel on it from the factory. I've also seen vans from the '70's that had that steering wheel on it...again, I don't know exactly when Ford changed that design, but I have a feeling that that wheel is original.

Can't comment about the column, although from what I remember about that '79 F-250, the column looks correct (although the add-on turn signal switch is certainly not OEM; even my dad's old '67 F-250 had the turn signal switch internal to the column in the same spot where the hole is on this column). Actually, on second thought, that column looks very similar to the one on my dad's old '67, except the color...

Aftermarket turn signal? And like Core said, 80s colum
Toggle switch on dash but dont see any lights.
It has an A/c heater box but i see no ac ducts, compressor or lines.

And would like to see some pics of the under side of the body

Decent looking truck otherwise

shame it's got a 360 and a BS intake manifold/exhaust logs.
390 or a 428, Holley street dominator, long tubes and we might have something.

That aftermarket signal switch is a great fix for the OEM and jobber replacements which are junk. They need to be replaced every few years, unless you like working with noodles.

Beautiful truck.

Any guesses on how much they have invested?

I would say about a 5k paint job

Maybe I got lucky? My switch has been working fine since 2003, and I believe it replaced the OEM switch...it still feels like it did when it was new.

Sorry for the off-topic comment, but I've yet to understand why so many people think the factory switch is junk...

Clean truck...too bad the headliner is falling or appears to be

 

[IDIDieselJohn]

Super nice truck! Who cares what's under the hood when you driving a nice truck like that?


To bad they had to ruin it with those ugly #$% wheels....

I like it!! Wish my 77 looked that good!
