1978 Ford F-150 Ranger 4X4 Shortbox SHOW TRUCK!!!Complete Ground Up RestorationJust in time for CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!I am selling my 1978 Ford F-150 Shortbox Ranger 4X4. I have done a complete 2 year frame-up restoration on this truck. This not your average restoration that you typically see on here. I know what I am doing and have done it right. I have either replaced or restored every part on it. It was completely disassebled and started from the frame up. I have been restoring vehicles for over 20 years and this truck has had alot of attention paid to detail. This truck was an excellent canidate for a restoration because of the rarity of being a shortbox 4X4 with the Ranger Package and the XLT style trim. There are not many of these trucks around. During the restoration, I tried to stay completely stock. All the stainless and aluminum trim is original to the truck and in very good condition. Some pieces might have a scratch here and there but overall it is very nice. Everything has been gone through. The engine is the original 400 C.I.D. 6.6 Liter. It has been rebuilt to stock specs. with the exception of the Edelbrock aluminum intake, four barrel carb., and new stainless 2 1/2" dual exhaust. It runs perfect!!! The transmission is the original C6 three speed automatic. It was rebuilt just before I purchased the truck. It shifts and downshifts like it should. The only rust was in the floorpans and over the rear wheelwells. It was all cut out a replaced with new factory metal. The body on this truck is absolutly laser straight. The paint is the original Jade Green Metalic with White insert. It was painted with Omni basecoat clearcoat and then color sanded and buffed to perfection. The underside was completely stripped and everything was repainted to match the the quality of the topside.The following is a list of the options and what has been done:Original 400 C.I.D Engine rebuilt to stock specsNew StarterNew AlternatorNew Power Steering Pump and HosesNew Belts and HosesNew 2 1/2" Dual ExhaustOriginal Dual Fuel TanksOriginal C6 Transmission rebuiltOriginal Dana 44 Front End, New Warn Hubs (Stock, changed fluid)Original Style Dual Front Shocks (Cleaned and painted)Original Front Sway Bar (Cleaned and painted)Original Tranfercase (Stock, changed fluid)Original 9" Rearend (Stock, changed fluid)New U-Joints throughoutStock Jade Green Metalic / White Basecoat/Clearcoat PaintNew Original Style SeatNew CarpetNew Sill PlatesNew Petal PadsNew Door Panels, Window Cranks, and Door HandlesNew Weatherstripping ThroughoutOriginal SeatbeltsNew Interior Light Body and LenseOriginal Stainless and Aluminum TrimNew Grill InsertNew Headlight SurroundsNew Windshield and WipersOriginal Side and Rear GlassOriginal Front BumperNewer Style Rear BumperBed was lined for durability and color matched to the body color.I just finished the truck and it has virtually no miles on it.
