This is a one owner, 1979 Ford F-350 4x4 Custom pickup truck!! This F-350 is equipped with a Detroit 453 T, 4 cylinder 2 stroke Turbo Diesel motor, a manual 10 Speed Eaton Fuller transmission and four wheel drive!! This is a very rare, one of a kind custom built truck!! The paint shines and still looks great! There is no major rust, Oregon truck since day one and always stored under cover! There are some minor and superficial scratches, blemishes and rock chips in the paint/clear coat, expected for the age of the vehicle. The original owner had the truck repainted many years ago. The body of this truck is straight and very presentable aside for some rust on the inside bottom of the bed, against the cab where the original owner always had hay laying, as well as some dings in the chrome moldings around the truck and two cracks on the hood next to the air scoop, please see pictures. This truck has a goose neck hitch mounted inside the bed, please see pictures!! The interior is in good shape. The seat is all original and does have a split in the vinyl on the drivers side and the dash pad has some very small cracks, please see pictures. The floor is in good shape, a little surface rust on the drivers side, please see pictures. All of the aftermarket gauges work perfect. The true milage is unknown due to the five digit odometer. The windshield has a crack on the passengers side, please see pictures. The headliner is still in great shape, please see pictures. This F-350 is also equipped with a Beaver winch, not sure if it works. The truck will also come with it's original build sheet!!The motor starts instantly and purrs, just serviced, fresh engine oil&filter service, fresh fuel&air filters installed!! Originally the truck came with a V-8 400, the original owner swapped the motor out to a Detroit 453t 2-stroke Turbo Diesel and mated to a non synchro 10 Speed Eaton Fuller Roadranger (RTO) transmission with a clutch brake valve as he used the truck to haul horses around the country and up to Canada. The motor and transmission were brand new when installed! The truck is also equipped with an exhaust brake which works great as well as 3 fuel tanks for a total of around 100 gallons of diesel!! The tires are still in decent shape&all match, Toyo M-55 Hyparadial ST traction&snow, size LT 235/85R16, load range E and mounted on factory white steel rims! The spare is almost new.Please keep in mind that this is an older vehicle and is not in new condition!!
