Vehicle Description
The sixth generation of the Ford F-Series is a line of pickup
trucks and medium-duty commercial trucks that were produced by Ford
from 1972 to 1979. This generation was launched in December 1972
for the 1973 model year. These were the last generation of trucks
to use the F-Series chassis introduced in 1965. After a decade as a
compact SUV, the Bronco was redesigned as a shortened version of
the F-Series. This generation also marks the introduction of the
F-150, which today is the most popular model. This generation is
noted for the body panels' durability as Ford used extensive
amounts of galvanized sheet metal to fight corrosion. In 1976, the
F-Series became the best-selling trucks in America, a position it
has continued to hold ever since.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this recent and completely
restored 1978 Ford F-150 XLT Ranger. This is a two owner truck with
the current owner having done the restoration work, according to
the owner the cab as well as the windshield do remain original,
while replaced with parts by Ford include the hood, fenders, doors,
cab corners, box, and tailgate. The exterior paint is in the year
correct Tangerine and maintains a beautiful shine that really
accents this truck and sets it apart with the matching wheels. The
interior is in a brown in a like new condition with no signs of
rips, tears, or wear. The owner says this is the original 400ci V8,
that has been rebuilt with an added mild cam and has the ability to
run on unleaded. This truck starts up and runs as it did near 40
years ago when Ford rolled it out of the factory, and with
everything that has been done to restore it to its beauty it looks
and sounds like it has a whole lot of life left to live!
