Clean 1977 F-250 4x4 with EFI 460 (updated pics 8-9-11)

I bought this truck for a future project, but I have pleanty of things to do for a bit, & it is almost to nice of a truck to take apart,

1977 F-250, 4x4
Front diff- Low pinion, big hub open knuckle, disk brake D-44,
Rear Diff- Drum brake dana 60,
T-case - Divorce mount NP205
Trans - C-6 automatic
Engine, 460 ci eletronic fuel injection,

This truck was someones toy, or intended to be,
The frame was sandblasted & painted gloss black, The inner fenders, core support & interior were also completely stripped & painted along with the exterior of the body,
The bodywork is pretty good, the paint looks to be single stage & sprayed pretty well, no fish eyes or orange peel,
But the hood must have been either sprayed by someone else, or way late in the 12 pack, :laughing:
There are a couple pretty good runs, If I kept the truck I would re shoot the hood,
Also the tail gate was found & installed later, so it has not been painted yet, however, it is a super clean end gate, End gate has been painted see new pics
The only other thing to mention about the body is a small ding in the drivers front fender well opening, not hardly worth noting though.

The running gear,
Front & rear diffs appear to be stock, & untouched, the only thing changed was the manual steerign box & power assist was removed & a power steering box & draglink from a 79 F-250 was installed.
I was told the rear diff needs rebuilt, however I have heard no bad noises & everything seems tight & in good shape, with that said, there is a brand new bearing kit for the rear setting in the front seat, The rear diff is still going strong with out explosion
The NP205 was completely gone through, has less than 10 miles on it, all new bearings & seals,
The trans (C-6 3 speed auto) is also a new reman unit, that has the same run time on it.
The engine started as a reman 460, pretty much stock, strait up timing set, the intake was machined to accept injectors & fuel rails, then an adapter plate was built to mount the throttle body in place of the carb,
Basically it is stock EFI on an engine with the pre EFI heads,
Nothing speacial, just a good dependable running engine.

There are a few details the truck needs, Air filter housing, Done, see new pics new rear D-line, u-joints, done
glove box cover, done& a little tidying up here & there, still looking for a couple dash vents & visors
I will be working on these details before the truck sells.

The truck is located in northern Nevada,
I'm asking $5000.00

If there are any questions I'll do what I can to answer them.

Pics on the way.
(edit)
The Tires are 37" Parnelli Jones Dirt Grips with pretty good tread. The wheels are just 16" white spokes that have been rattle canned black.
 
Nice truck, hope the sale goes well. Do you know anything about the motor it it? Specifically, how are the pre EFI heads connected to the EFI intake? I have the same setup in my '78, the stock intake sucks and has no aftermarket support. Just wondering, thanks.
 
Still for sale? Do you know more about the EFI conversion? What would the mileage be on that powertrain? Do you know what gear ratios it has in the axles? Got any side mirrors? Street legal in Nevada? What gas mileage do you get on the highway with EFI? Please let me know, thanks.

Yes still for sale,
What would you like to know about the EFI? I know it is a pre EFI long block with 72 heads, the stock cast iron manifold was machined to accept bungs for the injectors, then stock injectors & fuel rails were used, there is an aluminum adapter plate to mount the throttle body where the carb once went, all throttle linkage, kick down linkage, ect is set up just like a stock early 90 pickup.
The computer, harness & distributor are from an 88 ford, very simple setup, & not all hacked together,
The Engine, trans & t-case have less than 250 miles on them, the diffs are untouched & milage is unknown, the front end seems to be in pretty good shape, as far as tie rods ball joints & brakes go,
Gear ratio is 4.10:1,
There are about a 1/2 dozen different mirrors for the 70s trucks, this one has no holes, I figured I'd let the buyer choose what style they like & intall them,
To answer your question, no I do not have mirrors for the truck.
Has a NV title & will license without issue,
MPG is unknown at this time, I have only made a few 30 mile round trips on the freeway, Guessing I would say around 12, but I need to check to be sure,

Any more questions ask away.
