Our friend Chad Ehrlich finds some of the coolest old iron anywhere, and has an awesome salvage yard full of great parts and project cars. He’s always finding things to drag home and often gets the story behind them, which makes them even cooler in our book. This 1978 Ford Truck is one of those. This F250 Super Cab reminds me of the yellow one that my uncle Jerry drove when I was a kid, and this one has as many memories and stories in its history I’m sure. In this video Chad shares the story, shows the truck off, and shows some of the cool stuff that came with it. There is so much that we’ll probably never know about this truck as it has lived a very full life, but because it was bought from the original family we do know some of it and Chad plans to honor that. There are plans for this truck, and if you watch this video and the next one you’ll learn what those plans are.
I’m a Chevrolet fan to the core, but these “Dent Side” Ford Trucks are growing in popularity as we speak. There has always been a “Bumpside (67-72) vs Dentside (73-79)” rivalry between Ford truck fans but they are all more popular today than ever. We’re sure this Super Cab can be something fun and we can’t wait to see what Chad is going to do to it. Check it out.
SHUT UP A TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!!!!!
Chad had his beard in his eyes–thats a 79
Yeah ’79’s had round headlights.
Without seeing the video I would find it doubtful this is a 78 because of the square headlights. It is possible if being a late 78 build date it was equipped with the square lights. It is also possible it was updated to use these but as I remember that involves more than just changing the grille, it would require a different core support or at least modifying the holes where the headlight buckets fit. It is unusual for somebody to go through is modification on a basic 3/4 ton unless the truck had been wrecked.
