1979 Ford F-150 4x4 SWB Pickup

1979 Ford F-150 Custom

Up for sale is a 1979 Ford F-150 4x4 short-wheel base pickup. This truck is tough. It is a southern truck originally from South Arkansas.
It was originally a powder blue and has been repainted a deep metallic blue/green.
It isn't as rusty as some but it does have a few rust issues. The bed floor had a rubber mat in it and thus has some rust through spots. The floor is still sturdy and not paper thin like some I've seen. There is rust on the bottom rear of the driver door. Not too much rust in the floor pans but a few small pinholes.
The tailgate is not original to the truck and is currently in primer in need of a bit more body work and some paint. There are small dents, dings, and scratches here and there. This is definitely not a show truck, but also not a trashed beater truck. It probably looks better in pictures than in person.
Interior has a seat out of a newer Ford. Door panels are cracked and are screwed on. Dash pad is cracked. Radio works. Windows roll up and down. Headliner is in poor shape.
The engine is a 4.9L 300 inline-6. It is a stock motor with no upgrades. Torquey. Carter 1bbl carb. Runs well but occasionally has a slight miss. Keeping it cool is a big two row aluminum radiator. Single in, dual out exhaust with a flowmaster type muffler. Sounds decent.
4-speed NP-435 transmission. Clutch was replaced approximately 1000 miles ago. Goes into gears well, doesn't pop out of gears. Clutch is smooth and feels great.
Wheels are newer model ford wheels with beauty rings. Tires are 32x11.50R15 Maxxis Bighorn Mudders. Have decent (70%) tread remaining.
Warn 8000lb M8000 winch on the front bumper. Works well.
The bad:
-the power steering system has a slight leak and needs topping off every couple of days.-the shifter is a little sloppy-the blower motor isn't working-the dash lights aren't working-the dome light isn't working-needs an alignment-slight miss in the motor-needs an oil sending unit-Small exhaust leak
The good:
-4x4 works great, transfer case shifts smoothly and the hubs lock in, no funny noises.-solid body, fairly straight but has a few dents and dings-fairly tight steering, doesn't road walk-parking brake works-starts every time
Whats been replaced:
-front wheel bearings-front rotors-front pads-alternator-radius arm bushings-clutch/throw out bearing/pressure plate approx 1000 miles ago-new radiator approx 1000 miles ago-nonoriginal seat out of a newer truck-newer Sony radio/cd player
Disclaimer:
This truck has a clean Arkansas title.
The drivers side door is off of a different truck and thus has a different VIN plate on it. The title matches the VIN located on the frame. This caused no trouble in registering the vehicle in Arkansas but thought it was worth mentioning as it may cause problems in other states. Check with your local DMV.
