For auction, a 1978 Ford F150 long bed pickup truck showing 99,080 miles, but the true miles are unknown. The truck presents in fair condition with some obvious age and exposure, but all components and trim are in place and a bed cap is included. This truck has keys but would not crank.

Exterior
Ford's distinctive two tone coverage adorns this styleside truck with single stage Dark Brown Metallic around Light Tan in alternating runs of color. There are some minor dents but no major ones, rusted edges throughout, true patina, and some light surface rust on the hood. But the grille and grille surround are fully intact on the face of this now classic truck, with some rust appearing on the chrome bumper. Out back, a heavy duty steel bumper includes diamond plating on top and a tow hitch under a clean tailgate. The bed is topped with a weathered but complete fiberglass cap with windows on each side. Large trailer mirrors extend wide on the pickup and a variety of mudflaps likely helped prevent rust over the years.

Interior
We'll call it rust colored but the door panels are plastic, a bit tired and weathered but otherwise complete. The brown and cloth bench is worn and torn, especially the lower and all interior hardware shows some surface rust, including the seat belt insert and shifter stalk. The steering wheel is in decent shape, the dash pad is cracked, and the instrument cluster is complete with some oxidation of the various knobs including those on the AM radio. The simulated burlwood panel on the glove box prevails, missing its Custom emblem, while the floor is covered with an aging and cracking rubber mat.

Drivetrain
Under the hood is a weathered 300ci inline six cylinder with a 1-barrel carburetor and a C6 3-speed automatic which routes power to the coveted Ford 9" with 2.75 gears.

Undercarriage
A single exhaust carries a stock style muffler while brakes are divided as power disc up front and power drums in the back. Suspension consists of radius arm and coil springs up front and the typical leaf springs in the back.

Drive-Ability
This truck has keys but would not crank.
