My 1979 f150 4x4

[Rico]

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.

Nice truck could use a lift and 35's but still nice. I always liked this body style want to make it pop? Get the old Ford color Seafoam green lol i had a 71 that color it grows on ya.

My 77 is , no I mean, was seafoam green. 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.

o yeah seafoam was that light green kinda a faded lime I hated to start with but given enough time it grows on ya I'm debating on paintin my ranger that color if I can find it lol

man... I wish mine was as rust free as yours. beautiful. I'd post some pics but it aint workin' for me.

 

[Rico]

That's a nice truck sir.
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.

 

[pickuptrucker]

umm i love a good fullsize

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.
