Scott Elgin's 1978 F-150 XLT 4x4 Long bed, Illinois

This is my 1978 F-150 XLT 4x4 long bed. I bought her w/ 118k miles showing but you would guess 60 by just looking at her. Its powered by a 400m w/ np 435 & a np 205.

It has all options on it including a factory cap, full gauge cluster, C.B, dual tanks & a tool drawer in the side of the box. She rides on 35" all terrain B.F.G's w/ hurricane alum wheels. The body is rock solid & like the paint all original!!

Where to start?? I guess with the fact that I, like so many of you, believe this era of truck to be among the finest North American vehicles ever manufactured…

The dark shadow gray truck was my most recent project it has 7 inches of lift with 35 Mickey Thompson baja claws wrapped around 15x14 chrome barts. It has a 400 motor with a c6 tranny. It has a seat out of a 95 ford in it with new carpet. 

The maroon long bed is also a 79 and it had 9 inches of lift with a beefed up 400m, 4:11 gears and all new interior with 38.5 swampers and 15x14 chrome barts. If you have not been able to tell already I love 14 inch wide chrome the wider the better.

This is my 1978 Ford F-150 Ranger 4X4. I have owned this truck since the early 90's. I got it with only 55,000 miles. It now has 105,000 miles with a fresh rebuild on the engine. This truck is all original except for a few performance parts under the hood. This truck is powered by a 400 hooked up to a C-6 tranny. I am running it on a set of 33x12.5x15 tires. It has factory A/C, a CB radio, and a CD player. The truck is solid as a rock with no rust.

Richard Morgan's 1978 Ford F150 SuperCab 4x4, Orange County, CA

This is a 1978 Ford F150 SuperCab Long Bed, don't let the headlights fool you It is a 78 1/2 year Model. It gets it's power Via a 351 V8, Automatic Transmission, FabTech 8" lift Kit from a Late Model F250-350 Superduty, I upgraded the pumpkins to 4:11 Gears, Running 38.5 Dick Cepek Mud County's right now, Have spare room in the wheel wells for 40's eventually, 15x10 Aluminum American Racing ( If i remember Correctly, been a while since i put them on), Rear sliding window with Tint all around, Not special about the Stereo system yet other that using a CD Player with 4 6x9m, and a Tool box in the bed of the truck. So far i have done any work on my own with a few friends to help.
Plans for the future are a little larger tire size, a better stereo system, A custom Rack for the bed which i plan on making( Something like a ladder racks but only cab height of the truck, with a ladder on each side from the bedside to cab height, to be able to climb up to the 6'x4' Conferr rack bolted to the top that can be easily removed, a spot for a tire carrier, Lights, and possibly a canvas top like what is used on military vehicles where it can roll up on the sides and back.) Need to work on the front end steering components which i have received allot of great advice already form projectbronco's members (Thanks), so if anyone else has any ideas they are greatly appreciated.
