Here is my 78 F250 I've been slowly building
Specs.
400ci
C6 trans, soon to be T18
205 case
D60 front detriot, FF rear spool
No lift
38x14x16.5 sx's
Shortened it to 104 wheelbase, overall truck is 20 inches shorter than 78 Bronco.
Still much to be done. It starts and moves, no brakes.... weeeeee
As of now rebuilding front axle, Friend found a parts truck w matching ratio hopefully front axle is in better shape and will not need built immediatly.

what gear ratio u running again my buddy is thinking of doing that to a 88 f250 with 4.10 gears and asked me if i thought it would pull 40" tires . told him i wasn't sure.

I only have 4.10's for now. which is a big reason I got the parts truck with the t 18 (6.32:1 1st gear)
the truck had a 203 t-case, so I will probably run a doubler in the future

I ran 38's on my last jeep with 4.56 gears, 360v8 and 904 auto/d300
it did Ok

Thanks
I'd rather it have the 435, it is a lower 1st gear,
But the parts truck's t 18 is all bolted together and original, and my funds are low. I will keep it in mind though.

Thanks.
Plan on making a bed and incorperating some bedside toolboxes I have overtop of the rear tires Basic roll bar into the cab, Will need to boatside the rockers
No exo cage... I like the factory look. Tires in the fenders so it should be driveable
