1978 Ford F350

The sixth generation of F-Series trucks also known as “dentside Ford” to enthusiasts were built from 1973-1979. Another little bit of truth is that beginning in 1977 F-series became the best selling truck in the United States, a position it still holds to this day. The trucks except for some minor trim changes and such went mostly unchanged for those 6 years with the exception of 1978 and 1979 modles F-250 and F-350 were given the 351 Cleveland engine vs. the 302 V8. Trim levels were pretty basic with a Custom, Ranger, Ranger XLT and Ranger Lariat. This particular really cool truck has been used by the seller pretty sparingly over tha last ten plus years of ownership basically using it to move trailers around his property and Hay bales for his horses. The truck was painted at some point a while back but the color appears to have been white. The paint is ok at best but the truck is really quite solid with some surface rust starting in the floors but again, still quite presentable for the type of vehicle we are talking about. The stake bed is extremely heavy duty and the frame is in good condition with no signs of Rot. The 351 has been treated to routine service with the a newer Edelbrock carb installed in the last couple years. This truck starts, runs, idyles and goes down the road very nicely with newer rubber and brakes. The 4-speed is a granny 1st gear set up so it will tow pretty much anything. All lights work as they should and it has heat…Other than that, shes pretty basic.
