Look at this thing on us NW guys local craigslist. Looks like a nice truck, needs a coat of paint and that thing would be killer. I love that body style

Oh hell yes, one of my favorite body styles for Ford trucks, all Ford stuff too.

I love that truck, but don't have the $$$ to even think about buying it.

I dont think too many have that kinda coin to blow nowadays. That is a really good looking truck though. My favorite fords are the 68-72 f series. I had one and loved it, the 87 is a great replacement but those classics will always catch my eye (luckily my fiance doesnt mind me drooling over a truck, well too much anyway).

if it was a 4 door i would be taking bids on my kidneys, my favorite body style.

Interesting. Tim Leonard didn't want to turbo his because of clearance issues. Somehow that guy figured it out.

Mel i have seen it documented where you have to box out a section of fire wall to clear the down pipe. it can be done but not a fun job in my opinion

That's what I'm doing to the Chevy. With all the curves in the floor it's making for some difficult shaping. It will look nice when it's done, but man it's a lot of work!

There was another 78-79ish F250 supercab on here with a 6.9 and an ATS nonwastegated turbo on it. Can't remember the guy's username, but he sold it a couple months ago for a 6.0
