Description of 1979 Ford F-150 Ranger

Auto restoration shop offers this 1979 Ford F150 4x4 pickup. I bought this truck from the original owner in the high desert of eastern Washington. This truck is a clean running/driving mild project ready for the new owner to give it the final touches. I was told the original mileage is 105,xxx, believe it from the lack of wear and of course buying from the original owner. WA state classifies all vehicles of this age mileage exempt, o we can't prove mileage. I've driven the truck 100 miles with no complaints, his is a solid driver that is mostly original, ith factory Air Conditioning. I will describe the truck briefly below, lease check out the photobucket link and youtube link for additional pictures and video, hey tell the story on condition.

MECHANICAL

The truck has 105,xxx original miles. The original 351M V8 runs and drive excellent, as told it has never been rebuilt. The valve stem seals were replaced a few years ago. Perfect compression, o smoke or cold or hot startup, xcellent torque/power. Motor is all stock Ford components. Factory A/C functional, t needs a re-charge. It's still 1979 R12 freon, ou can keep it that way, 12 can still be found, r buy the R134A conversion kit for $18 and load it with cheap modern freon. Newer clutch works great, speed manual shifts great. I did not notice any mechanical problems on my 100 mile test drive, ight solid truck. Dana 44 disc brake front axle, in rear axle. Power steering, ower brakes. 4 speed manual transmission, art time 4x4 transfer case with manual locking hubs.

BODY

The body panels and paint are all original which is the best way to buy any vintage vehicle as you know exactly what you are getting and you know there were no serious accidents. This truck was adult owned which is great, t has not been molested and or modified. Pictures tell most of the story, lease view them all, etter than me describing small imperfections on a 36 year old original truck. The truck is rot free except for some small spots in the bed. This truck got a sheet of plywood screwed down in the bed with a light pickup bed camper on top of it. That setup was installed by Ford when the truck was new, nd taken off when I bought the truck. Screwing wood to the bed held moisture which caused some issues. Spots can be patched with Linex over it. The rest of the truck has no rot. We cut off the original muffler, dded glass-packs with chrome tips, ounds good, ot too loud or obnoxious.

Calling this truck a project is too strong, his truck needs very minor things described above to be a great daily driver. Hard to find original type trucks these days, his was a good find. I have a clean clear WA state title in hand, n my name, atching VIN #'s.

I have a shipping broker who has shipped dozens of vehicles for me in the lower 48, will pass on his info to you, r work with your shipper. I do not require a deposit, ut require full payment within 3 business days of closed auction via bank to bank wire to my US Bank business account or cashier's check. I will take PayPal on this truck but you must pay the 3% additional to cover their fees. Title and truck do not leave my possession until paid in full, 2 day mail you the papers. I welcome a 3rd party inspection during not after the auction. I'm a licensed auto appraiser and inspector, kip Auto Appraisals & Pre-Buy Inspections when looking in my area, own that business. I've driven the truck 100 miles without issue, lease don't expect to fly in and drive this truck across the country. I'm very annoyed by sellers on eBay stating drive a vintage car across the US, e it a 3k or 100k car, sually unrealistic. Truck is sold as you see it, don't have any spare time to do additional work, hanks.
