Classic Car Overview
This 1978 Ford F-150 is a seriously capable classic 4x4 powered by a built 460 big-block V8 paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. According to the seller, the 460 is a particularly lively setup that needs to be driven to fully appreciate, giving this Dentside considerably more personality than a stock powertrain.
The truck has also received extensive mechanical attention. The seller states that nearly everything has been gone through, including the brakes, hoses and lines, fuel system, suspension, and carburetor. It is described as ready for long-distance driving, while still retaining some honest body imperfections that are disclosed below.
