1979 Ford F-150 Ranger 4x4 Up for auction with NO RESERVE is the Ford truck I thought I would never sell. I did lots of research and found the perfect truck, I thought would last forever. Unfortunately, my wife's grandfather passed, and his beloved pickup was going to be discarded. We've elected to save grandpa's truck for sentimental value, and... It's a great opportunity for the right buyer. I purchased the truck from a close friend of the original buyer. The truck was built in San Jose, and bought in 1978 by it's original owner, a Ford employee. The truck has been covered, or garaged for almost its entire life, and never registered outside of California. The original paint is in good shape for 30 plus years. It's an awesome blue, with subtle metallic flake. Overall exterior condition is very good for it's age. It is not a show truck yet, but with matching numbers, and almost all original equipment, it certainly could be. The photos speak for themselves. Modification's are minimal. The truck sits on a 2" body lift, which looks great! Also has an aftermarket chrome grill, and new model rearview mirror with temp and compass features. A small motor for a "hood squirt gun" was installed by original owner, but is not currently hooked up. Also a Flowmaster muffler is installed. Mechanically, the truck is sound. Starter motor and ignition were replaced less than a year ago, and the truck fires right up! Motor runs well, shifts well, and brakes. Power steering works great! Drives Great! The truck is equipped with Power Assist brakes, but may need work. Stops with manual brake pressure fine. Transmission is a 4 speed with Granny low. 4x4 works great, although I've used it very little. NP 205 Transfer Case and solid front axel. The 6th generation F-150 is considered to be one of the must robust and durable truck designs from Ford. I have never taken this truck off road, and it has been more of a Sunday Driver than anything for me. Mileage comes in just over 71, 000. but my guess is it's been over once already. The truck has a Sony CD player, FM/AM radio, and two JLB speakers, which sound great. A Cobra CB radio is also installed. I'm also including rare factory service manuals, and a Weather Shield HD black custom cover, which cost around $500. What else can I say? The truck is in great condition for is age inside and out. It's good to drive, and can be kept a daily driver, or customized to your liking. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, and I'll be happy to answer them to the best of my ability. This is a truly awesome truck, and I'll miss it dearly. Thank you, and GOOD LUCK! Did I mention, NO RESERVE! I have described the truck to the best of my ability, and am selling AS-IS.
