'72 Ford Super Cab 4X4

Post by 67f100 »

In the April edition of Petersen's "4Wheel and off-Road" magazine is an article on a 1972 Ford F350? Supercab with a '97 7.3 Powerstroke deisel. The article states that although Ford made an extended cab pickup in 1972 the work that went into this one is exceptional. Give me a break! It's a real nice truck(page 82) but I wish the writer of the piece knew what he was looking at! The work involved in making a particular body style that was never made by the factory is huge! I'm thinkin' the owner of this sweet old Ford feels A little PO'd about this....Check it out if you can!!!

Eww, I'll have to go look. My magazines are piling up and I haven't looked at that yet. Did it just come or has it been out a couple weeks?

Ok, I found it. I also see a Unibody 4x4 pic-which is a rare truck. Looks like a good issue!

Those seats are out of a 90's Lariat model. My '92 is a XLT so it had a bench seat, I had to find a Lariat to grab the good seats out of.

Looks like he took a 73-79 cab and grafted the doors and outher skins from the belt line down. maybe the cowl panel got swapped to. teh roof is 73-79 up for sure.

Very nice truck. :D
