1978 Ford F-100 1/2 Ton Custom Styleside V8 302 Automatic Restored

In the automotive landscape, few vehicles possess the timeless charm and rugged elegance of the 1978 Ford F-100. Recently bestowed with a meticulous cosmetic restoration, this vintage pickup stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of American craftsmanship. Serial Number F10GNBE1319 marks its unique identity, a relic from the Norfolk Ford Factory where it was carefully assembled to embody the spirit of the era.

Underneath the Bright Red paint, the Ford #5440-A Basecoat/Clearcoat, expertly wet-sanded and buffed, gleams like a beacon of automotive artistry. The rejuvenation process went beyond a mere surface-level makeover. The entire bed was professionally removed for a new coat of paint, creating a seamless aesthetic that elevates the truck's allure.

As one opens the door and sinks into the Red Knit Vinyl Custom Bench Seat with fresh upholstery, the authenticity of the Custom Package becomes apparent. Every detail speaks to a bygone era, where craftsmanship mattered, and attention to detail was the hallmark of excellence. The Styleside Bed adds to the truck's rugged appeal, a practical yet stylish feature that sets it apart.

Powering this vintage marvel is a 302-2V V8 engine, delivering a distinctive rumble that resonates with the soul of American muscle. The Factory C6 Automatic Transmission, meticulously rebuilt, ensures a smooth and responsive ride. Paired with a 2.72 Conventional Rear Axle, power steering, and power brakes, this F-100 seamlessly blends performance with practicality.

Clocking in at a 133-inch wheelbase, this truck carries its weight with grace. With a 4800lbs Gross Vehicle Weight, it's ready to tackle both urban roads and rugged terrains with equal prowess. The addition of a Trifecta 2.0 Folding Bed Cover not only enhances its visual appeal but also adds a layer of practicality, protecting the bed's contents with style.

Not just a feast for the eyes, this 1978 F-100 delivers a symphony for the ears with its new dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers, crowned by chrome tips that hint at the power beneath the hood. The gleaming chrome bumpers, new windshield gasket, and four fresh rims wrapped in Cooper Cobra Tires underscore the commitment to excellence in its restoration.

Practical upgrades meet modern convenience with the inclusion of an aftermarket AM/FM/CD/AUX/Bluetooth radio. Side and rear window tinting adds a touch of modern flair while maintaining the truck's classic vibe. The new fuel tank and sending unit ensure reliability on the open road, completing the package for an unforgettable driving experience.

As a testament to its authenticity and history, this 1978 Ford F-100 comes with a Marti Report, providing a glimpse into its manufacturing origins and specifications. A must-see and drive, this vintage gem beckons enthusiasts and collectors alike.
