Body & Paint:
The body shows its age but presents well overall. There’s corrosion underneath, especially in the floor pans, but it's still structurally solid for its vintage. The paint isn’t fresh but holds a great vintage look with minor chips and scratches typical of a well-used classic.
Interior:
The black and brown interior with silver trim has a rugged, usable feel. The bench seat shows wear on the driver’s side, and there's no carpet, but it’s ready to use without worry. A solid setup for someone who appreciates function over flash.
Mechanical:
The truck runs and drives great, with smooth shifts and strong performance. The manual gearbox makes it engaging, while power steering and brakes help modernize the experience. The heater works, and most gauges are functional.
Known Needs:
Reverse lights and turn signals are not working
Tires have good tread but are date coded 2005
Cosmetic and rust repairs if planning full restoration
Overall:
This ’78 F-150 is a great find for someone who wants a reliable, good-looking classic truck to drive and build on over time. Whether it’s for cruising, shop use, or a restoration starting point, it’s a solid truck with timeless appeal.
