1979 Ford F-150 Custom Additional Info:

1979 long bed F-150 bought from original owners 5 year ago. Truck was purchased new by the grandfather, who then gave it to his grandson, who sold it to me. The chassis has about 83,000 miles on it, but the motor, transmission and suspension / drivetrain have only about 8,000 miles on them.


Since my ownership, it has always been garage kept and used as a weekend driver. Professionally built and balanced .030 over Ford 302 with re-worked mustang GT heads, 280/290 Lunati cam, Holley Terminator electronic fuel injection (fully programmable), new fuel tank with aeromotive in-tank pump and all stainless steel braided lines with AN fittings, long tube headers, full 2.5" exhaust (dumps under truck), professionally built and customized HARD hitting C6 transmission, B&M ratchet shifter with line-lock, new front and rear sway bars, new front springs, new lowering I-beams, leaf spring relocation kit, custom drive-shaft and a heavy duty 4 pin Traction-Lok, 3.70 posi in the 9" rear end. New tires on the front, descent on the rear. All original interior except for recovered seat. A few cracks on the dash pad. About the only thing I did not work on is the power steering gearbox. It has a little play in it, but nothing terrible. The fuel injection system has been tuned, but depending on your driving style you could make adjustments. Truck is an AC truck, which is not installed, but all original parts will go with the truck. Some surface rust, no holes in the body. Beautiful patina finish 39 years in the making.
