That truck is awesome flatout!!! I have a 75 longbed that I want to cut down to a shortbed and do something similar to yours,but more of NASCAR themed. So what kind of clip did you use? Looks like off a crown vic or ltd? I also have a 78 shortbed 4x4 that I plan on restomoding also,maybe...

I agree with Ben. Take a parts truck + used van= conversion. This might solve my problem about gettting another truck. Hmmmm.....to be continued! Almost a bolt in with the same year vehicles,true?

All hale the 300!! A 300 built with a hedder and some steel or glass packs sounds SWEET!!! A sound all of their own. Kinda like a flathead,unique. I have 2. One is on the stand waiting fora rebuild. It will be replacing the built 351M,and swapping to a t-18 or 435,in my 78 sb 4x. Haven't...

OK guys. At least some of us are a "maybe". And that's cool that you might be working there. I plan on checking out the swap meet area and just looking at all the cool trucks!! I have never been so I'll be :drop: :drool: :shocked: when iget there.

Well this idea got scrapped!! Tha ole lady said HELL NO!!= no money to spend. Anyway,my 351m is to radical for everyday,it was built for mud bogs. So since I want to drive it alot, I do have a 300I6 to put in it,but along with a 4 speed. My brothe-in-law had one and that damn thing would go...

Well that's 2 possibles. Anyone else?

Awesome truck!!! A real inspiration to motivate me to start on mine. But first,I have to clean out the garage.

Hey guys, Did some searching and ran across the web site www.f100supernationals.com and yes it is true!!!! They are having it in Pigeon Forge,TN on May 13,14 and 15. Just wanted to pass it on so anybody that wants to attend can plan for it. I am already. Maybe we can use that to meet up...

Well the 75 cab is not in good shape. The front floor is rusted out and the firewall is seperating. The 78 is solid and no rust. So cut the middle out of the 75 and add it to the 78 along with the frame extension. Maybe? Like I said just an idea.

Come on guys, I know there are people on here from Indiana? Step up and represent your state or city!!!!!!

:beer: :bow: Congrats Ben!!!! Your truck is AWESOME!!!! :flag:

Yes. Something similar to that,but with Gen 6 trucks and the frame lengthened to make more proportional. Stock looking.

Hey guys, I want everyones .02 on this idea. I used to have a 97 250 CC 7.3 Power Stroke and had to let it go when I got laid off.smiliecrybaby . So since I have two trucks of the same generation,and I can't buy anything right now, I was wondering of taking a making a CC out of them...

Thanks for the pics W0W. They are very informative. Do you have an overall pic of it on the truck? I loooked in your gallery and couldn't get a good pic . Thanks

Wonder if the kit would fit my ol' laides contour? Hmmmmm?

GOOD JOB!! I like the flat bed. Is that the same truck that you sent pics of on my thread? Just curious.

Thanks!! That would be great!!! Thanks for taking the time to help out.

Do you have any pics of it Smokey?

I was planning on using new iron,but that is the idea i was looking at. The only thing is the mounting to the frame. What do you guys recommend?

Thanks, I plan on a combo of both. A metal frame with wood planks. Say something like a stepside with no sides.

bump. Anyone?

Hey guys, I have a 78 short bed 4x4 that I am planning on to resomod or restore,but am having a terrible time finding parts for the bed. It is somewhat worth saving,but not alot left. I was considering building a flatbed for it. Has anyone built their own? I have an idea on how to build...

Thanks Guys. I'll post some pics when I get some new ones shot. Tex,thanks for btw,but I like 2 b different. LOL!!:wasntme:

Dark Shadow Grey Metallic and Torch red for the stripe!!! I agree with the Captain.

SW Indiana,near Il and KY. Guess I'll have to check into 3 chapters!!! MikesmilieFordlogo

Hello to all. I am new to the site but not to forums. I am a member on RPS,because of my Ranger,but I also have a 78 shortbed 4x4 and a 79 long bed,which was my first truck purchased 8yrs ago. It will be restored to almost stock condition with a personal touch. The 78 will also getting...
