Description

Every vintage pickup was once a workhorse and each has a story to tell. So the one you really want not only still looks great, ut in the case of this 1978 Ford F-100 Ranger XLT, lso has unique tale to share with your friends.The orange paint seems like the perfect offshoot of the original copper that now takes advantage of more modern paint practices, nd gives a bolder touch to this classic. Because this truck was a range-topper in 1978, t came with all that great bright trim running the full length of the sides and tailgate. However, his truck's appearance is also is built for function. For example, he new bed liner not only makes it ready for the show field on Saturday, ut it can also hold your Home Depot run on Sunday. One look at the super-straight body, nd it's very obvious this wasn't some contractor's beater... but there's an even deeper story of owner loyalty. Take a look at the trim tag. This Ford was ordered by district 22 Charlotte, orth Carolina. So nearly 40 years later, his pickup is still selling out of its home region.If you liked the retro cool of the exterior, hen you'll love the interior even more. There has been an investment in the door panels, eats, nd gauges to make sure everything looks nice and period-correct. The brown vinyl bench has cloth inserts for individual comfort. So your passengers will be retro-comfortable right down to the original heater. Still, he best treats are reserved for the driver. Your left hand goes on the sport steering wheel, nd your right one grabs the black topped chrome gearstick. So this F-100 feels a bit like a hot rod. This performance pickup feeling continues when you pop the hood. Under the engine bay has the correct G-code 302 cubic-inch V8. But now it breathes in deeper with a four-barrel carburetor, nd exhales with authority through a dual glasspack exhaust. This is even mated to a four-speed manual so you can get the most control out of your V8 power. In fact speaking of control, his Ford has a twin I-beam front suspension, ower steering, nd power brakes with discs up front so this sports truck can maintain its manners the road. The full package is finished off with a more modern set of F-Series wheels and the grip of BF Goodrich T/A tires.This vintage F-100 is turnkey ready for all-day work or play.
