BODY OVERVIEW: This F-150 is a solid old truck that has stood the test of time. While it hasn't been fully restored, the body presents well for a truck of this vintage. There is corrosion in the undercarriage, particularly in the floor pan, but as classic 4x4s go, it remains a great candidate for someone looking for a solid project or a functional driver.
 

PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: The off-white and gray two-tone paint retains a nice shine and has an appealing vintage look. It is not a recent repaint, and as expected for a truck that’s been used, there are chips, nicks, and scratches visible upon close inspection. Nonetheless, it still looks great and carries that old-school charm! 
 

INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The interior is functional and usable as-is, but it has its share of wear and tear. The black and brown color combination gives it a classic feel, and the silver door panel inserts add a bit of contrast. Notable flaws include the lack of carpet, some chipped paint on the door panels, and damage on the driver's side of the bench seat. If you’re simply looking for a functional old truck, the interior is perfect! It isn’t shredded, but it also isn’t so nice that you’d be afraid to hop in with dirty boots. 
 

MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: The 351 Windsor V8 runs strong, and the 4-speed manual transmission makes this truck engaging and fun to drive. Power steering and power front disc brakes make handling and stopping manageable, even for those unaccustomed to vintage trucks. It’s a good runner that’s ready to be driven and enjoyed as-is should the next owner choose. 
 

WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS TRUCK: This F-150 is a true classic 4x4 with the right look, stance, and vintage charm. It’s rugged enough to use as a work truck with personality, and solid enough to be a great starting point for a full restoration. The manual transmission and 351 Windsor V8 make it a blast to drive, and the spray-in bed liner ensures you can actually put it to work if needed. 
 

WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS TRUCK: If you're looking for a rust-free survivor or a fully restored show truck, this one isn't quite there. 
 

DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? It’s roadworthy and drives well, but potential buyers should note that in addition to the cosmetic flaws, the reverse lights and turn signals are not operational. Please see the Does It Work checklist below for a full assessment. 
 

WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS TRUCK? This truck is perfect for someone who wants a classic F-150 that they can drive and enjoy while deciding how far they want to take the restoration. Whether you're looking for a weekend driver, a shop truck with vintage appeal, or a solid starting point for a project, this '78 Ford is a great choice!
