1979 Ford F250 custom 2wd review from North America
"Fast ford"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well it was restored before I got it, but it doesn't start too well because the new starter was installed wrong.
It has bad seals and it leaks.
Some rust appearing on body
could use a new paint job
overall not too bad for a 79
8mpg is considered good.
General comments?
This truck has tons of power and performance parts. It doesn't look too bad and is very fun to drive. I know this truck can smoke any other ford around here.
The next truck I get will probaly be about a Chevy, though I will not sell this truck.
Buy ford, Buy Chevy, but not Dodge, because they suck.
