This 1979 Ford F-100 Custom stepside has a mean look and a mean
stance. So it's perfect that there's a mean fuel-injected small
block and the control of a five-speed under the skin. But when
you're checking this one out, what you'll really love is how it
delivers a true total package. Everything from the A/C interior to
the upgraded suspension show you that a means machine can also be
quite a thoughtful custom.
There's less than 1,500 miles on the build in total, and so you're
going to enjoy it for more than just its big power. The black paint
sets a dark and intimidating attitude, but at the same time, there
is also a high-gloss look of quality. The whole package is a
comprehensive detail away from being a show-stopper, but for those
of us who drive our classics, it already has the right level of
shine. It helps highlight extra curves you get on the stepside bed.
It's a style we don't see too often on F-100s of this year, and so
that just adds to this truck's distinction. There's plenty of
attraction up front where you not only get the chrome bumper and
the 1979 truck's square headlight front end, but also this has
upgrades like the blackout grille and clear headlights. Plus, even
with the lowered suspension, there's still real lumber in the bed
to give you the right touch of the classic pickup vibe.
The interior has the right pieces to make sure you enjoy a classic
truck feeling, like the well-done tan bench seat and sliding rear
glass. There's also an AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth and cold R134a
air conditioning to make sure anyone riding with you stays
comfortable. But really, most of the features here let you know
this is an upgraded driver's truck. That's why you have the sports
steering wheel on a tilt column, full Dakota Digital gauge package,
Hurst floor shifter, line lock control, and the modern Holley EFI
controller.
The engine bay continues the truck's dark heart style. At the
center is a mighty 302 cubic-inch V8 bored out to 306ci total. It's
built right with a Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection system,
aluminum radiator w/electric fan, and a nice set of wrapped headers
that add power while also helping the X-pipe dual exhaust give a
wicked rumble. The five-speed manual transmission puts you in
complete control, and the 4.10 rear end gives you seriously quick
take-offs. And because this truck has the power to be a true street
machine, they upgraded the suspension to really be improve the
handling. It now has a Crown Vic independent front suspension
upgrade, and the rear is a four-link with stabilizer bar and
adjustable coilovers. This enhanced driving package also has power
steering, grippy Dunlop sport tires, and Wilwood four-wheel disc
brakes.
This is an awesome fuel-injected classic street truck. So if you
want to look incredibly mean from the comfort of an A/C interior,
you know you can't miss this deal. Call now!
