1979 F-350 4x4 TURBO DIESEL SUPERCAB LONG BED HIGH BOY

EM2 RESTORATIONS IS PRESENTING THIS AWESOME 1979 FORD F-350 4X4 TURBO DIESEL SUPERCAB FOR SALE ON EBAY. WE GOT THE TRUCK FROM SO CAL . IT WAS RAISED INLAND IN SOCAL SO IT IS A VERY DRY AND ROT FREE '79. THE FRAME AND UNDERCARRIAGE ARE AWESOME AND DO NOT EVEN HAVE SURFACE RUST APPARENT. THE BODY STARTED LIFE MIDNIGHT BLUE METALLIC AND WAS CHANGED TO WHITE SOMETIME YEARS BACK. THE PAINT IS PRESENTABLE BUT NOT SHOW QUALITY. TRULY DRIVER QUALITY AND VERY NICE FOR A '79. THESE 4X4 F-350 LONG BED SUPERCABS ARE RARE AND ESPECIALLY WITH THE TURBO DIESEL CONVERSION. THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN CALIFORNIA AND IS SMOG EXEMPT (DIESEL OVER 8500 GVW) WE DID SOME MOTOR WORK THAT INCLUDED ALL FLUID CHANGES. GLOW PLUGS. WIRING. FILTERS. ANTI FREEZE FLUSH. CROSS MEMBER MODIFICATIONS (FOR EXTRA PAN CLEARANCE) ALIGNMENT. AND CHECKED THE PUMP TIMING. INSTALLED 2 BRAND NEW 800 CCA MAINTENANCE-FREE 84 MONTH BATTERIES. ALL SYSTEMS ARE A GO! THE TRUCK RUNS VERY WELL. BECAUSE OF THE ACTUAL CLUTCH CONFIGURATION. IT TAKES A REAL MAN TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK. THE CLUTCH IS MANUAL NOT HYDRAULIC AND IS PRETTY STIFF COMPARED TO MOST NEWER TRUCKS. THE DRIVE TRAIN IS EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT. WE ARE GOING TO MOUNT A TACH/HOUR METER ON THE STEERING COLUMN FOR THE DIESEL PURISTS OUT THERE. THE ODOMETER SHOWS 51. 00 MILES. THE 4X4 WORKS WELL WITH MANUAL HUBS. THE WHEELS ARE CUSTOM 18'S AND THE TIRES ARE 315/70 R 18 DICK CEPEK MUD TERRAINS (4 ONLY). THE FRONTS ARE NEW BUT THE REARS ARE AROUND 50% SO IT COULD USE A PAIR FOR THE REAR CREATING A GOOD SPARE TIRE. THE TRUCK HAS A RECEIVER TOW ASSEMBLY AND A TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER. THE TRUCK IS A LARIAT SO IT HAS DELUXE INTERIOR WITH CLOTH CAPTAINS CHAIRS AND A FOLDING SEAT CENTER CONSOLE WITH GLOVE BOX. THE ORIGINAL '79 OWNERS MANUAL IS IN THE GLOVE BOX WITH THE BLOCK HEATER PLUG IN. WE INSTALLED A NEW KENWOOD STEREO WITH BLUETOOTH. IPOD. AND USB CONNECT. WE USED VERY GOOD 6" SPEAKERS IN THE FACTORY POSITION IN THE DOORS AND AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES WE HAVE A HUGE SUBWOOFER AND AMP SETUP IN THE REAR. THE JUMP SEATS ARE FUNCTIONAL AND THE SEAT BELTS ARE ALL INTACT. THE INTERIOR IS EXCELLENT UNLIKE MOST '79 FORD 4X4 TRUCKS. THESE DIESEL CONVERSIONS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE TO HAVE DONE ON NON DIESEL YEARS. THIS ONE IS DONE WELL AND THE GARRETT TURBO GIVES JUST ENOUGH BOOST TO HAUL ANY LOAD. THE GEARING IS 4:11 FRONT AND REAR. WE ARE INCLUDING A MITCHELL OVERDRIVE UNIT THAT WAS INSTALLED IN THE TRUCK AT AN EARLIER DATE BUT DEVELOPED A CHIPPED OUTPUT GEAR. THE UNIT CAN BE EASILY RE-INSTALLED BECAUSE THE SHIFT LINKAGE REMAINS INTACT FOR THE OVERDRIVE UNIT AS ARE THE MOUNTING BRACKETS AND BUSHINGS. WE ARE CURRENTLY RESEARCHING A REPAIR FACILITY FOR THE MITCHELL OVERDRIVE UNIT. THE TRUCK WILL CRUISE FREEWAY SPEEDS BUT LIKES 65 MPH BETTER WITHOUT THE OD UNIT. WE INSTALLED NEW TWIN HORNS. HEADLIGHT SWITCH. AND RELATED WIRING COMPONENTS. EVERYTHING WORKS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING (COMPRESSOR MISSING) BUT REMAINDER OF THE FACTORYAC IS INTACT INCLUDING FACTORY REGISTERS IN DASH. ALL IN ALL THE TRUCK IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND IS FUN TO DRIVE. GETS A LOT OF LOOKS AND SOUNDS LIKE A DIESEL SHOULD. SHE SMOKES A LITTLE COLD BUT CLEANS RIGHT OUT AND BURNS CORRECTLY GOING DOWN THE ROAD. NO EXTRA BLACK SMOKE LIKE THE DODGE TRUCK PRIUS REPELLENTS YOU SEE COMING FROM THE CUMMINS. LOL THIS ISN'T A SHOW TRUCK OR A NEW TRUCK BUT IT'S A DAMNED "GOOD" TRUCK AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IT'S A F O R D TRUCK. BEST BUILT AMERICAN TRUCK 50 YEARS RUNNING.
