New truck!

Picked up this gem, 79 Ford F-350 with 400 engine, got some big plans !!

Been working in the sideboards today, just using material I have in hand.

Good luck with it.

Wood hauler?

Yep! Wood , stone , whatever. It’s a dump.

Might even be able to haul my fur check from this year lol

Nice truck! good luck with the overhaul

SCORE!

I don't want to be "that guy" but I'm pretty sure that's not a new truck.

It’s a “New Tah Me Truck “......

Yeah, what Nessmuck said......

Nice, love 70's trucks

Can't hardly work on new trucks today. Better off with the old ones for some uses

Cool project!

warms up,i have a 95 chevy 3500 were gonna redo.already made a fortune with it and with a little tlc might make another.

also love them old trucks.

Nice!
We can assume you have plans for a better gas tank arrangement than under the hood?

That's one of those new fangled prewarming gas atomizers that give you better fuel mileage.

I pulled the tank off to clean it out and rigged this can up to get it running lol

rims look new I think it's in good hands keep us posted

Fresh paint

Nice!

X2 on keep us posted with updated photos. Love this kind of stuff.

Dave

I had one like that w351M, good trucks, but it'd get stuck on wet leaves or a heavy dew. Either single up or keep dual chains onboard.

Part it out WORTH a fortune.!!!! Some would kill for the motor !!!!!!!!!

Dad had a forest green 79 ford with the 300 6cyl, I can remember many good hunting and fishing trips in that old truck

The original color on this truck is Forest green. Id like to eventually paint it fire engine red

I plan on pulling the carb soon and doing a rebuild on it .

Here is my 79 F350. 79000 miles and will pull anything you want to. Good luck with the overhaul!

You should check out this forum; lots of good stuff on older Fords- https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum7/

Finally went to the quarry and got two tons of stone. Figured I’d take it easy for her first load and get the kinks worked out. Had some pretty good help getting stone raked out too!

I have a 76 f-350 like that one too. It is also a flat bed dump truck. The original color was also forest green. Used to be a city work truck, they bought it new. I used it to haul rock and dirt and any thing else that needed hauling. It has a four speed with 360 engine. I would sell it too, no longer needed. It hasn't been started for a few years but I think with some fresh gas it would start up and run. Mocular, that 79, does it have a 300 six in it? They were pulling son of guns, I bought my son one like that over 25 years ago, same color and everything with 4 speed transmission.

This truck is a four-speed with a 400 engine . I like to see some pictures of your 76 F3 50

I had a 78 f-100 short box 3 on the tree with the 300 inline engine.Silver with a red interior.
That little truck would go anywhere in the bush.
It was so light,if you started it in 1'st gear it would take off down the road.
