OK y'all I have had a few years with a 1978 f250 4x4 and have just started working on this a few weekends ago agian by putting a new battery and firing it right up then finding out I needed a new carburetor.
rewind to the past: I bought this back in 2002 when I was in high school for 500 dollars and helping a man fix a fence.
I put a 6 inch lift and 44's dumb high schooler move LOL
After having it for a while I tore it down to the frame repainted the frame, redid the axles as well. Then I found a replacement body since it was to rusted up to fix. I had to replace the cab and the bed. And this is how it sits now with just the interior painted midnight blue metallic.
Its sitting at my dads shop and I have been working little by little the past few months.
The truck is like this because the guy at the local body shop had been working on it had a stroke then passed away RIP. I had to go get it then put it in my dads shop. He had it all apart painted the cab alone in primer. And was going to take everything apart and paint it then he had this happen to him. So now I am looking for a painter to work on it which is hard where my parents live. If anyone in Texas knows where anyone does full restoration jobs let me know. I have almost every single part needed that's oem ford.
Here are some photos I have
