We will start off with the exterior of this F150 Custom. The body
on it looks to be in great shape and has a very nice fit of all the
panels. The body is covered in the black paint that was redone in
base coat clear coat at the time of restoration. We can say that
the bed on this truck is all very nice and that all new wood floors
were installed. It also has new bumpers front and rear and we can
see that the grill and marker lots are locked new as well this
truck has had a suspension and body lift which helps set the stance
off on it. All the glasses and great condition along with the seals
and weather stripping. This truck is a four-wheel drive option pick
up. And we can see that the stance is set off with the 15" Alcoa
Wheels with 35x14 White Letter Tires.
Next, we will look at the interior of this Pick Up. On the inside
it's done in the Red and Black two-tone color scheme that provides
the perfect complement to the exterior. The door panels are done in
red and have the standard crank windows that go up and down as they
should. A new headliner and advisors were installed at the time of
the restoration, and when you said the carpet is in great condition
along with the seal plates. We can see that it has the bench seat
option and then it has been redone as well. The dash is done in red
and features the factory gauges along with having a set of
aftermarket gauges mounted in the dash. This truck has the on the
column automatic shifter and the floor shift for the Four-Wheel
Drive.
Finally, we will get to the driveline of this Ford. Under the hood
we can see that it has been well cared for over the years as the
inner fenders are in great condition along with the firewall. The
power comes from the 351 V8 engine that is set up with the
four-barrel intake and carb. It's dressed in aluminum valve covers
and a new chrome air cleaner. This '79 comes with Power Steering
and Power Brakes with Disc on the front. The 351 is mated to the C6
Automatic Transmission and 9" Rear End. When you look under this
truck, we can see that the floor pans are in good condition along
with the frame. All the suspension looks to be in good condition,
and they did a nice job with the lift kit on the truck. On the
highway the engine and transmission perform great, and it handles
great for being a lifted truck. If you are looking for an awesome
first gen F150 you don't want to miss this one!
