Description for Ford F-250 1978

built 429 big block with nice engine mounts . eldebrock carb and air cleaner. automatic transmission. hooker large tube headers with 3. 5 collector. 3. 5 inch 2 chamber flowmasters. 4 in sidepipes. leaf spring lifted with drop pitman . new 35 inch bfg mud terrains on polished aluminum wheels. bed liner. toolbox with 12 volt power inside. air horn. tach. amplified stereo with amps and crossovers below seat and kickers behind. lund visor. sliding rear. search and rescue flashing light system warn bumper with 9k winch. new battery/alt/starter/water pump/heater core/brake booster/master cylinder. I put the truck years ago and it won awards. I have used it as a truck since. over-all would give it a 8. 5 out of 10 rating. Paint is pretty good but not perfect (I have used the truck as a truck). Original blue color but with 25% pearl added to mix on outside. used ppg products including dp series reactive etchant epoxy sealer (they don't make the dp series stuff like that today. truck was very straight to start with. . Interior was not repainted. All original stainless trim in pretty good condition (much thicker than china stuff made today) everything is there and works. truck needs nothing. lots of thumbs up and people asking about it wherever I go. got 14 mpg when I drove it to Portland and back last-carb tuned to lean side with 3. 54 axle ratio and low end torque of big block makes it kind of idle along the freeway. step on the pedal and she shifts down and sounds like a 60's cobra coming to life and blows by whats in front of you! guys with diesel pickups hate it when I go by and they "roll coal" yet can't catch a 37 year old pickup! 1978 and 1979 have inner frame mounted stearing box and high pinion axles. I had trucks before with built 351 and 400's and they don't pull like a big block. no substitute for cubic inches! listen to me. sound like Richard Rawlings! happy bidding and thanks for looking.
