For Sale: 1979 Ford F100 in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1979 Ford F100 Pickup

Legend has it that early on in the history of Ford Motor Company a noticeable lowercase "e" completed the curl at the back of the cursive F on the Ford name. Henry Ford, and Thomas Edison both had winter estates in Ft. Meyers Florida, and shared ideas and cigars. One Idea that would make Ford a real innovator was the concept of the assembly line. This original idea came from Edison, and in deference to him and his idea, Henry Ford honored him in his early logo with that "e" on the curl, and as they say the rest is history!

Exterior
In typical F100 style, a shiny grille headlight bezels and bumper are leading the way on this two toned Coral and Light Sand colored truck. This is a respray of the factory colors and is a base/clear application. The clear coat application is peeling on the hood in a rather large area and we note some invasive rust in the filler panel at the base of the tail gate. The panels are nice and straight and some have been recently replaced to remediate rust, particularly the inner and outer rockers. Running boards are below the doors and trimmings are delineating the paint colors on the upper and lower transition areas. A Light Sand bed cap is installed and has sliding side windows on the sides. On the back, a new bumper is shining brightly. The bed has a black tuff plastic liner, however the consignor states there is some rust on the steel bed flooring under the covering. 15-inch drilled mag wheels are on all 4 corners wrapped in 235/75R15 rubber.

Interior
Lightly soiled door panels consist of molded light sand plastic with some wood applique highlighting in various panels are highlighted bybody matching Coral steel surrounds. Seating is also sand vinyl and shows some wear through on the driver's side of the factory bench. The dash is all factory F100 square partition design and is fairly clean. Light gold carpeting is on the floors and shows some slight soiling. The headliner is also in light sand color with orange painted steel surrounding it.

Drivetrain
Under the hood in an unrestored engine bay is the correct 302ci V8. It is topped with a single 2-barrel carburetor, and has a C6 3 speed automatic transmission on back. A new custom glass-pack dual exhaust system has been installed and the catalyticconverterhas been removed. The rear axle is a Ford 9 inch 2.75 gear ratio. Our consignor notes that the engine was recently treated to an oil change and new spark plugs.

Undercarriage
Some invasive rust is noted on the underside of the bed, on the back there is some invasive rust near the rear bumper mount on the driver's side, on the floors of the bed and inner cab corners have the invasive rust going on. Other surfaces are covered in heavier surface rust and we note the invasive rust has spread to the left rear of the frame where it meets the bumper bracket. Radius arms and coil springs are in front and leaf springs for the rear with new shocks all around. Power disc brakes for the front, and power drums for the back. For the brake system, new calipers, pads, hoses, shoes, wheel cylinders and a new master cylinder have been installed.

Drive-Ability
She started quickly and off to the test track where it did nicely. Smooth acceleration, smooth shifting and good handling. All the recent maintenance and parts replacing has made this truck mechanically sound.

A worker bee in classic 1979 form, new paint, and plenty of new parts and you are ready to go. Perhaps you need to pay a bit of attention to the underlying rust just as a side note, but you can still drive and enjoy this classic hauler while you do the work.
