79 shortbox supercab 4X4.

No such thing, they were all long boxes.

check the craigslist sites for Seattle/Washington and Northern Idaho... its worth the drive as there are lots of these trucks still around down in those areas and the prices are cheap! I bought my 76 crewcab powerwagon in tacoma for the price of the rims and tires that were on it. importing is super easy if the vehicle is older than 15 yrs = no RIV :beer

My bro his selling his 77 F250, its pretty nice though... full frame up resto. was built to tow classic farraries. its Orange, mint condition, and has a 460 big block, mapped, blue printed, and balanced, auto tranny with NP205. apraised at 35g he'd prob sell for around 15g. but it looks like your looking for a project truck?

Uh, no, you are wrong, 79 crew cab had a short box, the super had a long box. My dad tried to buy one brand new in the fall of 78, it wasn't available, so he bought a Bronco instead.

Please do. I've seen one, I'm sure someone made it though. I'd really like to know if there were any real ones.

Make sure you take a pic of the big fish plate where they shortened the frame too.

 

[TroyM]

will do

I've never seen a supercab short box either.

i'm pretty sure i've seen f150 supercab shortboxes. f250's were never short boxes.

alot of the crewcabs of the '70's were short boxes.

 

[steve604]

this came from the factory like this

short box trucks weren't so popular back then because people used trucks as trucks so a full size box made it more useful

trucks used to be reserved for construction workers, farmers and serious red necks. you didn't see a truck in every driveway in '79.... or maybe there was. i was only a year old in '79

Thanks for the craigslist ad, I will check it out tomorrow.

 

[grege]

Is this one for sale?

 

[steve604]

which one? it looks like the one in yakima for $300 might still be for sale.

you will probably need a motor and other stuff to make it a 4x4

 

[grege]

I will call the guy in Yakima tomorrow, I was wondering about the two tone blue 79 F150 that you sent the picture of.
