1978 FORD F-150 RANGER 4x4 PICKUP 351 V8 / AUTOMATIC GREAT TRUCK TO RESTORE OR JUST PLAY WITH! COULD USE A FRESH TANK OF GAS & TUNE-UP, SINCE IT HAS BEEN IN STORAGE FOR A WHILE, BUT OTHERWISE IT DRIVES GOOD! ENGINE SOUNDS GOOD. TRANSMISSION GOES INTO GEAR & SHIFTS NICE & SOLID! NICE TIGHT STEERING. SMOOTH BRAKES. 3 1/2 INCH LIFT!! THE HEADLIGHT TRIM HAS SOME DAMAGE THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN OUT FAIRLY EASILY, BUT IT WOULD PROBABLY JUST BE EASIER TO JUST REPLACE THE ALUMINUM SURROUND. OTHERWISE THE REST OF THE FRONT END, HOOD, GRILL, ETC. ARE ALL OVERALL IN GOOD SHAPE! HAS SOME MINOR COSMETIC DAMAGE HERE & THERE, (AS SHOWN IN THE PICS) BUT OVERALL IT IS SUPER STRAIGHT & CLEAN! IT IS DEFINITELY READY FOR A NEW PAINT JOB IF YOU ARE WANTING TO RESTORE IT. WHAT'S REALLY NICE IS THIS TRUCK IS OVERALL VERY SOLID! WE HAVE LOOKED IT OVER PRETTY THOROUGHLY & FOUND ONLY VERY LIMITED AREAS OF RUST STARTING IN JUST A FEW PLACES. NOT BAD AT ALL FOR A 32 YEAR OLD MACHINE! THE CAB FLOOR HAS A COUPLE OF SPOTS THAT NEED TO BE CLEANED UP, BUT IS OVERALL NICE & SOLID. OTHERWISE HERE ARE PICS OF THE ONLY OTHER AREAS THAT WE FOUND THAT WILL NEED ATTENTION: ABOVE, THE DRIVERS SIDE CAB CORNER & A TINY SPOT ON THE REAR CORNER OF THE DOOR. THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAB JUST ABOVE THE DRIP RAIL. ABOVE, THE PASSENGER REAR OF THE BED. OTHERWISE, THE FENDERS ARE NICE AND SOLID. THE ROCKERS ARE NICE AND SOLID & THE BED SIDES & BED FLOOR ALL LOOK NICE & SOLID. ALL THE AREAS THAT COULD USE ATTENTION ARE EZ TO ACCESS & ALL THE SURROUNDING METAL IS SOLID. IF THE BUYER WOULD LIKE, WE CAN HAVE ALL THESE AREAS PROFESSIONALLY TREATED & REPAIRED FOR OUR WHOLESALE COST. I HAVE NOT CHECKED, BUT IT WOULD DEFINITELY BE UNDER $500 TO CLEAN IT ALL UP NICELY. HERE ARE THE PARTICULARS: VIN: F14HCBC1210 ODOMETER READING SHOWS: 98165 ALL GLASS IS GOOD. HAS A NICE SET OF AFTERMARKET "HURRICANE" STYLE ALLOY WHEELS TIRES ARE OLDER, BUT ARE RADIALS & SEEM TO BE IN DECENT SHAPE. THEY RIDE NICELY. THEY ALL HAVE AT LEAST 50-60% TREAD.
