1979 ford f-100 - lithia springs, gastreetside classicslithia springs, ga 30122ph: 8773671835web: www. Take this 1979 ford f100 4x4 for example. Kudos to the owner for sticking with factory-style paint on this big, burly pickup. No, not like a sledgehammer, but they'll notice the truck then take a closer look, saying to themselves, wow, that's a great-looking pickup! It helps that the sheetmetal is in good order and the ford's rugged looks aren't compromised by the tasteful paint. It still has big, square shoulders, enhanced by a black diamond plate rear bumper, oversized side mirrors, and a sprayed-in bed liner. The front bumper is also painted black, with original chrome grille above it to add some sparkle. Someone clearly had good taste when this truck was going together. The bench seat is fitted with a blue vinyl seat cover that's in great condition and surely a replacement piece installed quite recently. Original door panels are still in great condition for their age although the carpets are starting to show some wear. All the original gauges are still doing their thing, aided by a white-faced sunpro tach strapped to the steering column. The floor shifter manages a 4-speed manual transmission, while the lever in the center is for the dual-range transfer case that allows this truck to go just about anywhere. A pioneer am/fm/cd stereo has been stuffed into the original dash where it looks right at home and sounds great, and blue neon under the dash is a neat change from plain interior lighting. Motivation comes from a 400 cubic inch v8 that was the workhorse of the f150 fleet in 1979. More than up to the task of doing some heavy work, it nevertheless is happy to trundle around town and rumble down the highway with nary a whisper. The engine bay is quite neat and clean, suggesting that while this truck can go off road, it seldom does, and it runs superbly. It's been upgraded with an edelbrock intake manifold and 4-barrel carburetor, so it's a bit more robust than 1979 spec, and power steering and brakes are welcome additions, especially with those oversized tires. A very neatly packaged dual exhaust system with glasspack-style mufflers gives it a suitable v8 snarl, and a lift kit makes room for that butch rolling stock. AM/FM✔ CD Player
