GVWR This former desert truck, with all original body panels, is a
great example of a classic Ford pickup, only with big-block power.
During the Disco Era, Ford?s F-series became the best-selling truck
in the US in 1977 and we at MotoeXotica Classic Cars are pleased to
offer this F-100 Custom. This example was made in Ford?s Truck
Plant in Wayne, Michigan and was shipped off to the Chicago,
Illinois sales area (DSO code 41). Finished in silver metallic
paint, the truck?s color really pops in sunlight. It also contrasts
nicely with the black grille and blacked out front side marker
lights. The bodywork is straight solid, no surprise since this
truck came from arid Arizona. The engine bay is extremely tidy, the
battery is in very good order and a bedliner protects the cargo
bed. The chrome bumpers are in very good order. This truck rides on
Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires, size 275/60F15 tires at every
corner. Each tire is mounted on a chrome alloy wheel. The tires
have plenty of tread and are in very good shape, as are the wheels.
This truck rides on a rebuilt suspension with front lowering
springs. The truck rides on a 117-inch wheelbase and it has a 5,250
gross vehicle weight rating. Under the counterbalanced hood is a
massive Ford 460 CID big-block V-8 engine, rebuilt with a street
cam and it breathes via dual side-exit exhausts. There?s also a
Weiand intake manifold and an Edelbrock air cleaner. Certain engine
parts, such as the spark plug wires, are finished in blue to
complement the silver exterior color. Backing this engine is Ford?s
C6 SelectShift Cruise-O-Matic three-speed automatic transmission.
Driver convenience features include air-conditioning, power
steering and power brakes. Inside, the new black upholstery looks
great on the front bench seat with a center fold-down armrest
between the high backrests, as does the matching black carpet. The
black headliner is in satisfactory order. A three-speed aftermarket
steering wheel with a wrapped rim. The instrument panel and inner
door liners are in great shape and the silver contrasts nicely with
the black. There?s a full suite of gauges in the dash. A
column-mounted shifter completes the interior considering the radio
delete option was chosen. This truck has some needs as the A/C
compressor is not engaging and blower motor, the fuel gauge and
speedo/ODO are also inop. The truck runs strong and drives out
nicely and is sure to turn heads. Nineteen seventy-seven models
received a redesign of exterior trim, with the cowl insignias made
smaller and moved near the windshield. The bed received a
rectangular fuel door to conceal the gas cap. The fuel tank located
behind the seat was discontinued due to safety concerns.
Competition to this F-100 in 1977 included Chevrolet?s C10 pickup,
Dodge?s D100 pickup, GMC?s C10 pickup and Jeep?s J10 pickup. If you

of the Hill on the pickup sales charts, stop by MotoeXotica Classic
