Vehicle description
Rare, Rare 1979 Ford F-350 4x4 with the Fabled Dana 60 Front Disc Brake Axle from the Ford Factory. This Ford F-350 4x4 was Originally Sold New in Salt Lake City, Utah. In 1982, After Moving From Salt Lake City to Oregon, the Original Owner Traded this F-350 into Gentry Ford Sales, Inc. Located in Ontario, Oregon. In November, 1982, the Second Owner Purchased this 1 Ton 4x4 From the Same Dealer in Ontario, Oregon (See Attached Sales Contract/Bill Of Sale). When the Second Owner Passed Away in 2017, the Owner’s Widow Decided to Sell It After an Ownership of 35 Years. Since 2017, the Third Owner Has Cared For and Maintained This Classic 4x4 as the Previous 2 Owners Did Before Him. The Interior Looks Good For 42 Years Old. Both the Driver"s and Passenger"s Door Panels Look Nice and Reflect the Overall Condition of the Dash and Rest of the Interior. The Steering Wheel and Horn Button Look Nice and Original (Never Have Been Replaced In 42 Years). The Horn and Even the Buzzer That Reminds You Your Key Is In the Ignition Works! The Factory Covered Bench Seat Has 2 Tears On the Driver"s Bolster, But Looks to Be In Very Good Original Condition. This Ford F-350 Has Been Very Well Taken Care Of and Garaged Since New. The 4x4 1 Ton Was Painted a Silver Metallic in the Mid 1980"s. The Paint is Well Faded, and Shows Use as a 4x4 Pick with Dings and a Few Small Dents. Although I am no Auto Body Expert, the 4 Decades Old Exterior Condition Looks to Be Rustfree, with No Repair Panels, or Welded In Sheet Metal Replacement. This Is One Solid 4x4 1 Ton! A Siding Back Window Keeps the Cab Air Circulating. Ford Factory Air Conditioning was Also an Option on This Classic, and Can Be In Working Condition with Some Parts Gathering and a Few Dedicated Weekends. The Bed Is Solid, and Has Cargo Tie Downs Already Installed So Big Loads Can Be Securely Fastened. The Tailgate Locks and Drops Down with No Problems. The Original, Anemic 400M Engine Was Replaced In the 1990’s By the Second Owner With a Nice Upgraded Big Block Ford 460 Cubic Inch Engine. The 460 Runs Well and Sounds Great With It"s Glass Pack Mufflers and Dual Side Exhaust Pipes. But Could Benefit From a Rebuilt or New Carburetor. The C6 Automatic 3 Speed Transmission Shifts as It Should. The 4x4 System Works Well. Both the Dana 60 Front and Rear Axles Were Loaded with 4.10 Ring and Pinion Ratios From the Ford Factory. The 4.10 Ratio Axles Are Great For Off of the Line Performance, Towing, Climbing Hills, and Tough Conditions When the Road/ Off Road Terrain Becomes a Challenge. The 1970’s Nostalgia White “Wagon Wheels” are Period Correct For This Classic and Contrast Well Against the Original Ford Exterior Color. The Tires Have Plenty of Tread, But Are Older, and Probably Should Be Replaced Soon. If You are in the Market to Add a Classic 1 Ton Ford F-350 4x4 to Your Collection, Not Seriously Considering This Example Would Be a Missed Opportunity. It’s a Western State, Dry/ Rust Free, Solid Example of a Rare Classic F-350 4x4. This Would Make a Great Addition to Any Household as a Practical Second Vehicle, Weekend Camping/Work, or a Father/Son Hunting Pick Up.
