Description of 1978 Ford F-150 Custom 4X4 |
This 1978 Ford F-150 Custom proves you can get all the workhorse features you want in a 4x4 pickup, and still not have to give up the cool custom vintage appearance. After all, the powerful 460 V8, control of a four-speed, and this truck's go-anywhere prowess is also packaged with the shining paint that caught your eye. This is one mean green machine, and everyone knows it the moment it arrives on the scene. The F-150's big, square shouldered design is only enhanced by features like the raised suspension, bright Mikey Thompson wheels, big off-road tires, and diamond plate rear bumper. But just like a loyal bulldog, this pickup is still approachably friendly. The paint has a similar tone to Ford's correct Dark Jade Green, but they never could produce this much luster at the factory. So it shines particularly well in the sunshine, and there's plenty of brightwork to accompany it on the bumpers, grille, and side mirrors. The full-length white stripe is distinctively handsome and it showcases how the body is clean and straight. But just because it looks great doesn't mean it's not ready for to be useful. This truck was built to take on your workload with features like its spray in bedliner. Inside are the right investment for a comfy and confident pickup. It starts with the bench seat that's now covered in a nice velour. The door panels are also a more recent and correct replacement. Some of the pieces remain pleasantly stock. After all, the dual spoke steering wheel not only gives you a good view of the gauges, but also it has that hint of a worn-in feeling that reminds you of the workmen who have come before you. And everything from the heat/defrost sliders to the floor shifter all have a crisp action. Powering this pickup is Ford's big 460 cubic-inch V8. The motor fires up readily, and you'll even spot nice supporting components, like a newer radiator. It inhales deeper with a Holley Brawler four-barrel carburetor, and it exhale with a powerful tune with the glasspack style dual exhaust. The four-speed manual transmission is great for control in all conditions. So it'll be hard to resist taking this one off pavement considering it's a 4x4 with a two-speed transfer case, enhanced ground clearance, and deep ridges in the Comforser CF300 tires. And for the days you just want to go to the hardware store, the power steering and power brakes with discs up front mean this truck can run around town with ease. This is a powerful 4x4 with a terrific look. That makes it a total package pickup that's going to be running out of here fast. Call today!!! |
