Vehicle description
This ultra-rare 1979 Ford F-150 4x4 regular cab step side pickuptruck was originally sold out of Ted Jones Ford in Buena Park, California andwas a recent barn find in northern part of the state. It features patinaed Raven Black paint with a Jade interior. As you can see on the attachedDeluxe Marti Report, it is only 1 of 11 built with these paint and trim codes and could very well be the only F-150 step side. This truck is powered by a 400 cubic inch V8motor with a 2 barrel carburetor, a C-6 automatic transmission and a 9 inch 3.50ratio Traction-Lok rear axle. Thefactory NP 205 gear driven transfer case powers the 4 wheel drive and features2 High, 4 High and 4 Low settings. Thistruck also has factory cab light which is very, very uncommon for a ½ tontruck. The truck starts right up, runsand drives like a champ. A YouTube videolink is below so you can see it running and driving for yourself. The undercarriageis dry and has no rot in the front fenders, doors or rocker panels. There is some rust present above in the roof onthe inside of the cab where the headliner trim is located, some where the dashpad meets the windshield and in one of the lower step side rear fenders. An aftermarket sunroof was installed byprevious ownership and that may be what lead to some of the rust in the roofmentioned above. There is also a panelrepair in the passenger’s door. The barnfind tires on the truck hold air but should not be considered safe for roaduse. Plan to bring a trailer to take this black beauty home. By all accounts, the truck has been inCalifornia since new and still retains what are believed to be the originalissue blue license plates. The truckwill not currently pass smog in the state of California as the emissionsequipment is either missing and/or non-operational at this time. Meeting the emissions requirement in the stateyou intend to register it in will be the responsibility of the proud new owner.These Ford trucks are getting harder and harder to find, especially with this rare combinations of features. Bid towin as it will not last long and you may never see another one like it.
