1978 Ford F-150 Ranger – Classic Vintage Pickup with Original Paint & Minimal Rust

This 1978 Ford F-150 Ranger is a solid example of a late-70s vintage Ford pickup with classic patina, minimal rust, and a mostly original presentation. Powered by its believed-original automatic 3-speed drivetrain, it comes equipped with power steering — likely added as a dealer upgrade in 1979. A great candidate for restoration, a light resto-mod, or weekend cruising.

Upgrades & Features:

  • New battery just installed

  • Power steering

  • Replacement bench seat & steering wheel

  • Automatic transmission

  • Very minimal rust — solid body for its age

  • Mostly original paint with naturally aged patina

Known Items:

  • AC may not be operational

  • Carburetor needs a splash of gas to fire up after sitting

  • Fluid leaks present (unsure of source)

  • Bed shows typical dings and workwear consistent with age

🛻 Classic American trucks like this are becoming harder to find in mostly original condition. Starts easier with regular use, and drives better the longer it’s run — the bones are strong, making it an ideal base for a restored Ford F-150 project.

📍 Available for buyers nationwide.
