1978 or 79 crew cab long bed 4x4

[pwyley]

What I'd like to find is a 1978 or 79 crew cab long bed 4x4 but I can't even find mention of one. Did Ford make one in this configuration? Thanks for any help.

I use to see one around here every now & then. Some mexican guys hauled pine straw in it stacked about fifteen feet high. Haven't seen it lately though.

Ford never made a crewcab longbed 4x4 before 1980.

Hundreds, likely even thousands have been made though. I'd say 8/10 78-79 crewcab longbed 2wd trucks have become 4x4's in my area. There's a guy in Washington that makes a living buying just 78/79 crews, sprucing them up, making them 4x4 and putting them for sale. He called on a 69 Lincoln 460 I had for sale and we got to talking. I told him I'd done a few with Cummins engines and they worked pretty good. He acted like I was talking Chinese and a 460 was the engine god intended to be in a 78/79 Ford truck.

Thanks for all the help everyone. I suspected that 4x4 and long beds didn't overlap in those years but couldn't find data one way or the other.
