@import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto); Vehicle Details This 1978 Ford F-150 Ranger is in very good condition. It is almost completely original. To my knowledge, it has never been owned outside of a 30 mile radius from my house in upstate South Carolina. It has never had undercarriage or body rust. The metal is all original and very clean for the age. The truck is not restored; just professionally repainted. The mileage, 93k, is believed to be original. To my knowledge, the inline 300 six cylinder and 1-barrell Carter carb are all original, as well as the original 4-speed manual transmission with granny low. The truck has been meticulously maintained. It was owned for the bulk of its life by a man who rebuilt small engines for a living, and he stored it inside. The only substantial change to the truck is color change during repaint. the truck was originally medium copper and was changed to the red and white that it currently is. The cab and engine bay don't show signs of the original color. Maintenance recently performed includes full synthetic oil change with Motorcraft filter, and brand new BFG white letter 33" tires on brand new Mickey Thompson wheels. Motorcraft plugs and plug wires were also just installed last year. The truck is show-quality, but with imperfections. I have 75 photos in high resolution available upon request. I recommend you take me up on this offer so that you can see exactly what you're getting. Though the truck is very nice, as with anything this age, there are things to take note of. Exterior: Recent basecoat/clearcoat professional repaint. All aluminum has been stripped, polished, and re-clear coated. Some trim is new; some is restored. There are a couple tiny red spots on the white. There is one area where the red is turning loose--see picture above. Interior: Door panels, seat covering, and dash are all original to my knowledge. The bench seat had a cover over it all of its life, and is in very good condition. The dash has two cracks as shown in the picture. Temperature gauge is non-functioning. Stereo is aftermarket. Door weather stripping appears to be aftermarket and glue is turning loose. Undercarriage: Extremely clean and original for the age. I have additional pictures available upon request. There are signs of minor oil/transfer case fluid leaks etc. but nothing substantial. Drivability: I just drove the truck from South Carolina to Virginia and back with zero issues this week. A couple things to note: third gear has a low-pitch growl; synchronizers into 4th are wearing. Truck shifts smoothly into 4th when warm but touchy when cold. Alignment was just performed, but the shop left the steering wheel a little crooked. Truck will occasionally diesel a bit after cut off due to carbon build up from being so low-mileage.
