Pics of Bump body on 77 1/2 250 4x4 frame?

Post by Chaser95 »

I have owned two Bumps and two dents in my Ford truck past and I find I am partial to the look of the bumps! I have seen pictures of several Bumps on Dent high boy 4x4 frames but, I can not seem to find one on the lower 77 1/2 f250 4x4 frame. I have searched this site and the rest of the net too but nothing yet. My old Dent 250 runs fine but is a rust bucket and I was wondering how a Bump body would look at that height. I understand the frame width and wheel base issues and do not see that as a major obstacle. My computer skills are not the best and I may have searched incorrectly. Does anyone know of any pictures? Would the look be similar to a 2wd Bump F250 in height? Thanks! :?

The 78-79's sit a couple inches higher than an F-250 2wd, or about the same as an F-350 2wd or a couple inches lower than a pre-77 F-250 4x4.

Thanks............I realize it would be the same height the 77 is now..... I think a bump would really look good on this chassis and it is something I have not seen. Still hope to find a picture. The search for a body is on! Thanks again. :thup:

These trucks all sit different after 30-40 years of use and differing GVW packages.

Most of the bump highboys came with 5 leaf front springs and low GVW- They didn't sit that high for long and most sagged a lot by now. The 7700 trucks had 6 leaf packas and sit higher today.

you'll have a gnarly gap between your bed and cab.
Solution?
Flatbed!!!

Or play with the bed mounts...
