1979 Ford F-100 Ranger Longbed

Ford F-100 1979 Description

Selling my 1979 F100. This truck was fully restored a few years back. It is not a show truck, but I have shown it quite a bit and it always draws a crowd. It is a very nice driver quality vehicle. I never really worked with it minus moving light loads. Has a few small blemishes around the body but nothing major. It's a factory 302 V8, C6 automatic trans and 9" rear end. Not sure of the rear end ratio. I think it's somewhere around a 3.55:1. It is highway speed friendly and gets decent gas mileage for an old truck. Trans was rebuilt when I bought the truck, but I have no paperwork for it. The factory engine spun a bearing. It now has a fresh built '68 block with less than 5k miles on it. Trucks odometer reads almost 65k but I'm not sure the actual miles. Most of the drivetrain is new and the chassis is in great shape. Edelbrock aluminum heads and intake with 650 edelbrock carb. Mild cam. Unsure of the spec honestly. Has a nice sound. Long tube headers into flow master super 44's that exit in front of the rear wheels. Still has factory AC. Converted to an electric radiator fan. Originally the truck was burgundy and white sides. I used factory ford paint codes for the silver and black (but to my knowledge these trucks were only available with black as the base and silver sides). Has a reese hitch receiver, sprayed in silver bed-liner, full tri-folding toneau cover on the bed, and air shocks in the rear. The two negatives that I can say for the truck are the headers and the wheels. They've started to rust. As you can see, the clean up pretty well and if you maintain them, they look good. Just a disappointment. I won't likely be buying cragars in the future. Not the quality they once were. Tires are bfg radial t/a's, in great shape. I believe theres only about 5-6K on them. Thanks for looking. Happy to answer any questions. Buyer to arrange pick-up or shipping. Please contact me before hand if it you are unable to have the vehicle picked up within 7 days of sale.
