1979 Ford F150 Custom review from North America
"An everlasting work horse"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Broke A Camshaft at the last 2 cylinders. The seats have a few holes in them. There is a few paint chips, but little rust. Sometimes has an attitude problem.
General comments?
I have only had this truck for one year, but I have fallen in love with it. We have had our share of problems, but everything on that truck is an easy fix. The truth is I don't want to ever buy a truck that's newer then 1980 because compared to mine new trucks are made out of recycled aluminum cans. I have had less problems with this truck then most people have with their new cars. It just keeps going and going. I've never gotten stuck in snow or mud with the stock 4-wheel drive. I recommend this truck to everyone in the world.
