Ford ended the 1980s the same way it entered--number one in
domestic truck sales. - BlueOvalTech.com In 1980, pickup trucks
were still generally restricted to work duty and seldom featured
items like power window or door locks. Carburetors fed fuel to
engines, three-on-the-tree manual transmissions still sent power to
the wheels, and computer control was something relegated to science
fiction. The 1980s forever changed the automotive landscape
however, and as the decade came to a close, the rise of the pickup
from work vehicle to mainstream transportation was all but
complete. Leading that charge, as it had since the late 1970, was
the Ford F-Series. (Full 1989 Ford truck resource available online

Offered here is a seriously lifted and beautifully refreshed 1989
Ford F150 extended-cab in medium-blue metallic-and-white over a
fully customized blue-and-white interior. Showing 110,107 miles
currently, the truck has traveled fewer than 3,500 miles per-year
on average since new. The exterior metallic-blue paint with
body-side (and tailgate) insert in white was professionally
executed: the glossy finish is smooth, even, and free of
imperfections. The two colors are separated by a tape stripe. (To
best assess the quality of the paint and trim finishes, please be
sure to view the close-up photographs of the car in the
accompanying gallery.) The body is free of dings, dents, or other
damage and includes a number of custom upgrades. A replacement
angular chrome front bumper, with diamond-plate top and
body-color-painted end caps, is mounted; a tubular chrome grille
replaces the original; rooftop marker lights are mounted; lower,
black-painted, street-level tubular-steel bumpers have been added
front and rear; and a chrome entry-assist step is mounted. Original
chrome on the exterior mirrors, and door handles shows well with
light age-related patina. Factory badging is limited to the
front-grille blue-oval Ford emblem and the embossed F-O-R-D
tailgate lettering perfectly painted white. Cabin glass and
lighting lenses are free of damage.Toyo® MT 37.50x14.50 LT off-road
tires are mounted on Eagle® alloy, 8-hole, stock-look wheels. The
truck's interior is fully and spectacularly customized in premium
materials with a blue-and-white color theme. White vinyl covers the
front bucket seats (and center jump seat) as well as the rear crew
bench seat, all of which feature blue lower seat platforms. A Ford
oval logo is embossed in the white headliner. Door trim is white
with bright blue accents top and bottom. Blue carpeting covers the
cabin floors. A custom brushed-metal trimmed Billet® steering wheel
with blue rim frames the generally stock dashboard re-executed in
white with carbon-fiber-look trim replacing the original faux wood
pieces. Original slide-lever heating and air-conditioning controls
remain above an upgraded Pioneer® audio unit in the center
factory-radio location; and XLT Lariat emblem faces the front
passenger. The transfer-case selector is floor-mounted while the
shift lever for the automatic transmission is mounted on the
steering column. Under the hood, the original 5.8-liter,
electronically fuel-injected Ford V8 commands a clean, unmodified
engine bay. Viewed from below, the truck's chassis is clean,
complete, undamaged, and properly modified with lift-kit
components. The ungraded suspension offers a number of visua
