that is awesome that the grandson is buying it. Almost brings a tear to my eye.

Seeing the potential that others don’t. This is the perfect condition for a classic truck. Presentable and cool but not so nice that you can’t actually use it as a truck. And not all pimped out with aftermarket accessories. Nice job👍

I'm glad the grandson is getting it. I lost track of my Grandpa's truck 25 years ago, really wish I could find who has it. Even if it was junked in someone's pasture and parted out, I'd still buy it off them.

Nice truck.I miss my 77 F 150,highboy. I put a 1973 429 cu in motor out of a Merc Marquis. I put a new timing chain in it n umbrella valve stem seals on it.Made my own motormts.That truck got 11- 12 mpg n could put the speedo needle all the way around past 100 mph till it was up against the post behind 0. There wasn't a Chevy or Dodge ,gas or Diesel that could pass it going up hill !

You don't hit the hood to open it you just gently lean down on it some while pulling the release. As long as you are not vertically challenged (short). I wish someone today made a truck as uncomplicated and tough as this truck is and it had an engine as good as the 12 valve cummins in it. I have owned and driven for years many Ford trucks from 79 back and only regret was the fuel mileage. This truck here will get about 8 mpg and less if you open the 4 barrels up on it.

C6 is a great trans but definitely not the more desirable transmissions between it and the Four Speed manual trans. But either way y'all did a phenomenal job on this old Highboy. I'm on the lookout for a 76-79 Crew Cab 4x4 that's in decent condition and have a 97 model 12 valve Cummins Diesel that's just itching to re power one.

If I own another ford pickup it'll be one like this with a 4sp and a built 460 for working and low end torque my brother had one and when it was realy hard at work it seemed to run its best can't count the loads of scrap and fire wood it hauled all while pulling a trailer loaded down as well it wasn't a fancy truck but it definitely was a man's truck ment to out work the competition and did until the 90 model dodge 5pd 4x4

Yea but the 460 even then is n was less then desirable way to go. Even the auto in these and much later sucked big balls. Everything I do gets changed over to stick. I love the old trks but big engines and auto don't work. Not the Ford version anyways.
