Here's my 4x4 pride and joy.














I also have a 1977 f150 that will "donate" other interior pieces such the door panels and dash. I spray painted it white for temporary until I can afford a better paint job. It's got new carpet, floor mats, and seat cover. I custom made the headliner by taking out the old one and tracing and cutting a new one over 1/8 hardboard from lowes and glued on some camo fabric. There's still some work to be done like the turn signals as you can tell but everything else is awesome.:icon_hornsup:

My 77 is , no I mean, was seafoam green.:bad: It reminded me of pea soup. A couple of cans of hunter green changed that for me though. I don't know if I'm thinking of the same color as you but there were a lot of color choices back then verses nowadays.

That's a nice truck sir.:icon_hornsup:
How much lift does she have and what size tires.
I don't want to go as big as yours, but I totally respect your truck.

you can get 33's with no lift, just dont expect to do much flexing while turning. You can almost fit 35's, well you can as long as you never want to turn....that is with no lift. Looks alright, but you need to loose the newer model wheels....just takes away from it to me.

Man, that's when "crumple zones" meant squat. Nice Ranger, the old style Ranger.

A friend of mine had a '79 long box with 35's, man I miss that thing. Built to ram a tree without a scratch, now you're lucky to get out of a run-in at the supermarket.
