Vehicle Description

1978 Ford F150 4x4 Ranger XLTThis is a clean old truck. I've had it fo several years, with intentions to restore it. It runs great, and has no body rust-through. It has many new parts including: flatbed, rear lights, front springs, front shocks, front bumper, grille, headlight bezels, carpet and seat cover. This has a 351m V8 and 4-speed. It runs nice. All the info is below. Feel free to ask questions. Clear title. I have undercarriage/floor pics I can send also. The odometer says 16,200. I am assuming it has rolled over before, but I don't know for sure. I accept and prefer wire transfer. You can call my bank first if you want, as they know me there. I can also send a purchase agreement through docusign. I DO NOT ACCEPT CARAMEL.I REQUIRE WIRE TRANSFER FOR PAYMENT. I NEED FULL PAYMENT WITHIN 3-DAYS. I WILL STORE IT FOR A MONTH FREE, POSSIBLY LONGER IF NEEDED. I CAN HELP ARRANGE SHIPPING AND HELP THE SHIPPER LOAD IT.MECHANICAL

The pickup has the 351M V8. The motor runs nice. It doesn't smoke, tick or knock. There is nothing abnormal. I has good oil pressure and it runs cool without overheating. There is no water in the oil, or oil in the water. The engine has the old-truck oil seepage. The valve cover gaskets leaked, but don't now that I've tightened them. It needs a seal on the yoke coming out of the back of the transfer case. I can fix that. The transmission is the standard 4-speed. It works great and the clutch does also. The clutch does not slip or jump, and there is no throw-out bearing noise. The brakes work but the parking brake does not. The brake pads look good but I have not checked the rear shoes. This has dual exhaust with glasspacks, but needs new tailpipes. The heater and all lights work fine. The wipers work. The tires are older and should be replaced. This has 5-lug axles, but I put new adapters on it to run highboy style 16' rims. You can easily take them off and run five lug rims if you want. This has 3.50 gear ratio, so it will cruise nicely. All 4x4 components work fine. I've driven it in low range also. It has new front shocks, but they are not on it in the pictures. New front springs. The truck is very mechanically sound and needs no major mechanical work.

BODY

The body is very clean, solid and straight. The paint looks original. The paint matches the paint codes on the tag. There is no rust-thru on the truck. There was a little rust that I had repaired. A new metal floor panel was properly butt-welded in on the drivers side. The floor, floor supports, cab mounts, cab corners, rockers, etc etc have no rust. Hood and doors operate as they should. I believe the windshield has a crack. New front bumper. New grille and headlight bezels. New flatbed. The flatbed is 7' wide and 8'3" long. The cab guard should have a lower section of metal. I had not got around to installing that yet. I can possibly do that for you if you'd like. It can be done with flat metal, wood, or expanded metal. All lights work, except the reverse lights. I had no added them to the flatbed, but I possibly can.

INTERIOR

The interior is clean and in good shape. New carpet. New seat cover. The seat is the original, and in good shape, but has a couple small holes in it. The dash area and door panels are in good shape. The headliner is still in it, but not in good shape. Wipers heater, defrost selector work fine. Interior light works, and also is activated by the door. Seat is comfy. I have the original steering wheel that will go with it. The chrome one squeeks a bit. The interior has no weird smells. the headliner is still in it, but is not good. They are cheap to replace, and I can potentially do that for you also.

Overall, this is a nice dentside for the price. Feel free to ask questions. I can help arrange shipping if needed. Thank you.

This old truck is sold as-is. I can help arrange shipping and I will assist the trucker to load it. I require wire transfer for payment.
