1978 Ford Crew Cummins hunting rig

[Higbean]

Campground on the jetti in bodega bay.

Crossover steering is pushing the axle and making it wander. I'll try welding the shackles into an H first.

Thanks for the info higbean! We are always looking for camping around that area and usually end up at Sugarloaf or Bothe-Napa. Looks like we will have a new spot to try this fall.

Love the truck, those body lines are great!

The lift height and suspension size look great with the tire size

Chasing bears.

No doubt they were running from your truck!

I am not sure if I missed, but I would love to see how you set the interior of the truck up? I always love the huge cabin these old old bodystyles have, and the fun you can have with real steel and flat mounts.

Nice looking truck, I have an ARE DCU that will go on my 1992 SCSB 4x4 7.3L N/A E40D F250 and will probably mirror your nice rear kitchen. My wife is 17" shorter than me and that rear bench platform looks great for kiddos and wives!

Simple yet effective rig.... Always did love that old iron.

It's just bench seats.

And yeah that bench platform is great. I found it at Home Depot for $20. Goes everywhere my truck does. I lay it down and strap it snug to the side of the bed to contain stuff. Great for working on too damn tall truck too. F#%^&* body lift! Shoulda yanked it before I did the swap. I need to get rid of the rims too. Can't stand all the offset.

My wife was teasing me about using her dog to keep warm out on the jetty and had to send me this pic today. I think it shows resourcefulness and ingenuity.

Christmas adventure in the old Ford.

My girls.

My Dad and his siblings.

My Minions.

My thoughts exactly!
