1978 Ford F150 Custom review from North America
"Best truck ever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
3 on the tree shift linkage broke
Some wear on seats
Replaced fuel pump
Replaced carb.
General comments?
My grandpa owned the truck before me. He bought it new in 1979. He used it as a farm truck till he retired. In the 80's my grandparents started traveling to New Mexico from Illinois every winter hauling an in bed camper. The shifting started getting to him and he gave me the truck. It had never had any problems till the shifter broke on me and is probably the easiest truck I've ever worked on, I highly recommend a 70's Ford truck to anyone.
