Looking to restore an 77' F-150

[FX4TRACMAN]

I am looking to restore this pickup I have had my eye on for the last ten years. It is an 1977 Ford F-150 w/ 400 engine. This old lady has had this truck for a long time and the truck is in pretty nice shape for this year model. It is pretty nice inside except for sun faded interior that used to be red and now is orange. I was wondering any one happens to have pics of these year models and what you would do if it were yours. Thanks In Adavance.

Roddy,

Once again, this will come down to what you want to do with the truck. Do you want a complete and authentic restoration or do you want to go wild with it?

To best answer that question ask how often it will be on the road versus in the garage. If you plan on entering it in shows looking for trophies, then you may wish to perform a frame off and replace everything with NOS or near perfect used parts.

If you're like many of us and plan on driving your truck places instead of towing it on a trailer, then you'll pitch the original truck seat(s) in favor of good, comfy leather covered bucket seats with eight way power! Ohh, ho, ho! (Best Tim Allen impression)

Here's a couple of examples on how to go (I choose buckets and these almost look like Mustang seats). By the way...add pictures!

Wow, did you put those seats in your old ford? That is awesome. I got a new cover for my old blue seats and I thought I was doing good !!
