Like Baja said, If it was a 1976 F-150 supercab it would have a Front Dana 44 with leaf springs, regular cabs had solid axle with radius arms. The twin I -beam ford did not start untill 1980 model year and it was a dana 44 also (the centre section was.)
Real easy truck to lift. Or you could install a set of Bushwacker fender cutouts and should have enough room to run 35's.

If you ever need any parts for your truck, let me know. My friend has a yard full of these trucks and 3 barns full of parts stripped off 1973-1979 Ford f150,250,350. anything from dash switches to full rear ends and motors, chrome trim, ect, you name it he has it! Aslo if you ever want to sell it let me know.
Thanks.

I will be needing stuff. Not sure quite yet what... Possibly another 390 cu in. The oil pressure isnt great in this one. IT is the radius coil spring style front suspension with rear leaf springs.
It was a BC truck, but it has a plow butchered onto it now. However it is a great truck and i would like to fix it up and keep it for future use.
