1979 Ford F150 review from North America
"Greatest year of Ford trucks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought it with stuck 351M from sitting for 15 years. Replaced with a rebuilt 460 from a 1971 T bird. Easy engine swap.
General comments?
For its age, very little rust. Still handles like new. Rides great.
It's a step side bed. Needs new wood floor in bed.
4 wheel drive never fails. Very durable truck. Built Ford tuff. Have you driven a Ford lately?
