if any, what size lift?

My dream has not been one particular truck, but all trim levels in each cab configuration for each model + Broncos in all trim levels. That alone would be a rather larger collection. :D

I'd just like to have my old supercab back, with some notable modifications :D

74 f250 supercab long bed. Built efi 460/e4od. Dana 60 front and rear, 3.73s. Np205 tc. 285/75/16 BFG ATs on alcoas.

Blue this time, instead of white. Trim package doesn't concern me. Could just be a custom again.

Should pull that off for well under 100,000 :D

I pretty much have my dream truck (s) and have some minor plans for additional mods: new polished headers....I'd like a hard tonneau cover (have a soft now).

Things that make it my dream truck:
-73-77 split grill and round headlights
-automatic
-ac
-6 inch lift
-37's
-Lots of chrome
-software
-custom headliner
To name a few.

I know this is a different answer, but my dream would be to have a huge shop and a boat load of extra time to basically buy and rebuild these trucks of all models and have my own personal Jay Leno collection of dent sides.

I'd visit THAT museum!smilieFordlogo

I'm just waiting for someone to finish my dream truck and to forget to close the garage door some night. :wasntme:
 
i was thinking my dream truck would probably be a cc f600 with 4wd and maybe a flat bed with custom winch bumper/brush guard.

I think you're truck would be pretty close to perfect, right down to the color.

But not for. Six figures. Then I'd be thinking a mid-30s pickup done up as a street rkd.

I'd make my 77 new again...with a TMI434, with the majority of the 79 lariat options. And a 92-96/7 40/20/40 bench. I'm pretty simple, but I couldn't just have one.
 
I know its not a gen 6 but i'd be looking for a gen 9 4 door bronco and a '56 big window
