1979 Ford F150 review from North America
"Loud and loveable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I blew the engine in my truck about a year ago and parked till I had the money to put a new one in it.
That's all that's ever gone wrong with it.
General comments?
It's a good old truck.
It's black with red pinstripe it looks OK.
I just dropped a high output 5.0 in it before I put it in I took it and, but solid lifters, single plane intake, a four barrel carb., and dual exhaust glass packs and split pipes at the end.
The fastest I've had it is about 130 Miles per hour.
It's an awesome hill jumper to.
I got a nice stereo in it to, but I'm not gonna go into it.
