For Sale: 1979 Ford F150 in Fredericksburg, Texas

Since September 1999, Street Dreams Texas has been bringing classic American muscle and collector vehicles to enthusiasts around the world. Every now and then we're fortunate enough to offer a vehicle with a story that ties directly to our hometown, making it even more special. This 1979 Ford F-150 Ranger 4x4 is one of those trucks-a remarkably well-preserved, two-owner example that was originally sold new right here in Fredericksburg, Texas. Finding a clean, largely original fourth-generation Ford F-Series is becoming increasingly difficult, especially in desirable short-wheelbase configuration. We purchased this truck directly from its original owner, who had cared for it since new, and sold it late last year. The current owner enjoyed the truck for only about 400 miles before deciding to offer it back, giving another enthusiast the opportunity to own an exceptionally honest example with an incredible history. Finished in attractive green with a matching green interior, this Ranger has the timeless look that made these trucks icons. Since leaving our showroom, the suspension has been professionally updated with new springs and leveled for a more balanced stance while preserving its classic character. The factory side rails were removed for a cleaner appearance but are included with the truck should the next owner wish to reinstall them. A fresh set of Cooper Discoverer STT Pro tires mounted with the white lettering turned inward gives the truck an understated, purposeful look while providing excellent off-road capability. Under the hood is Ford's optional 400 cubic-inch V8 backed by an automatic transmission, delivering the dependable torque these trucks are known for. Factory air conditioning, power steering, and power front disc brakes make it comfortable and enjoyable to drive, while the receiver hitch and in-cab trailer brake controller make it ready for towing duties. The classic Mr. Pickup cattle guard remains a period-correct addition that fits the truck's Texas roots perfectly. Inside, the matching green interior remains exceptionally well preserved, a testament to decades of careful ownership. The original bench seat presents beautifully, and thoughtful factory touches such as the working cargo light with its overhead switch remind you of the practical design that made these trucks dependable workhorses. The bed is protected by a bed liner, the paint retains an excellent appearance, and the chassis is impressively clean for a vintage four-wheel-drive pickup, reflecting the care it has received throughout its life. Whether you're looking for a weekend cruiser, a dependable vintage pickup to enjoy, or a highly collectible Ford that hasn't lost its originality, this F-150 Ranger checks all the boxes. Its documented ownership history, hometown connection, desirable short-wheelbase configuration, and tasteful updates make it the kind of truck that's becoming increasingly difficult to replace. Street Dreams Texas is proud to offer carefully selected collector vehicles that are meant to be driven and enjoyed.
