Got a 79 F150 as a Christmas present!
Hello everyone! I've been on the hunt for an 80's ford truck/bronco to make my first for a while, but today my mom and dad gave me my dads '79 F150 Lariat as a christmas present!
Money I've saved up will go towards getting it back on the road.
My grandpa bought it back around 1986, my dad then got it in 1990 and has had it since. Parked it back around 2000 when it needed the carb rebuilt.
It's a 1/2 ton, 460 auto 2wd, two tone black and silver, 140k miles. My dad had bought an 77 3/4 ton f250 parts truck which he swapped the rear end out of into the 79, eventually I'll swap the front suspension over.
Anyway's I think it's a cool first truck that'll be the only one like it at school
