Up for sale is one RARE 1979 F350 4X4Located in Moab, UT NO RESERVE! HIGHEST BID GETS THE TRUCK! This is a factory 1979 F350 regular cab truck with a all steel flatbed. The truck retains it's factory drive train including the very desirable High Pinion Dana 60 front axle (this axle alone is worth $1000-1500). It has 410 gears with a locker in the rear. The truck has the factory manual 4 speed transmission and NP205 transfercase. It just passed Utah's state safety inspection a couple of weeks ago and is current on it's registration. Clear and clean title in hand with utah license plates and registration. This drivetrain set up is very desirable. If you add lift springs to this truck you can run BIG tires reliably on the stock drivetrain without further modification. The GOOD: Truck starts every time and can be driven anywhere. 4WD works great. Has engine block heater for cold weather. Tires and not new, but not needing replaced either. Set up for bumper or gooseneck towing. No visible rust showing. Dual fuel tanks are functional. The BAD: Body has dents, dings and needs TLC. Interior is typical for a 1979 Ford - Dash cover is cracked from the sun, bench seat is saggy in the drivers position, speedometer works on and off, e-brake bracket needs to be reattached (but e-brake is otherwise functional), heater doesn't work, and carpet was replaced by some household shag carpet. Front tank could use a filler hose replacement. Brakes pull slightly to the left when applied. Transmission doesn't down shift into 3rd without priming it by trying to put it into 2nd (but it has been that way for a long long time). Drivers door shuts funny and could use a new hinge, but still latches and opens fine. The rear passenger mudflap flew off on the highway after I took the pictures. I am sure there is something I might be forgetting, but like I said - it just passed the Utah state safety inspection and is a registered driver. THE BOTTOM LINE: If you are interested in this truck, you likely know that it is a rare truck with a very desirable drivetrain. It runs great, will go anywhere, and is ready to tackle any job you throw at it. I wanted to keep this truck around because it is a great work truck, but I have to sell to fund another project I am working on.
