1979 Ford 4x4

1979 Ford F-150
351M
4 Speed ( 1st gear granny )
38.5x15.5x15 TSL SuperSwamper Mud Boggers
SKYJACKER Lift kit
Body lift.

Up for sale is a 1979 Ford truck. It has a 351M that has been bored 30 over. I have put alot of time and money into this truck. I will try to put everything that has been done to it on here but im sure even at that i will still leave things out.

For the age of the truck, it is in pretty good shape. I have obtained a collection of toys though, and need to downsize. I dont have the tools to do the body work, nor do i know how to paint. The only things cosmetically wrong with this truck is, it will need 2 new doors ( although the driver side can be repaired ) and cab corners, and sanded down and painted. Thats it. The firewall and everwhere else is rust free. The truck is just sitting, which is the hardest on the truck. Its not that i dont have the money to drive it, its i just dont have the time. I would have like to have finished this truck, but seeing it just sit there is enough to make me sick. Trying to put everything on here that has been done to it is really hard. Its one of those things that you would have to just come out to see and and look at it and let me walk you around the truck and tell you what all has been done. One ride down the road and you will understand how much work has been done to this truck. I have documented all work done to this truck with pictures. You can see what all has been taken apart and what all has been installed.

I have taken the time and money to set this truck up to go down the road comfortably. It has the following parts installed on the front end ( i know im leaving stuff out )
4inch BDS drop radius arm brackets.
Superlift Adjustable track bar
drop trac-bar bracket
4 inch drop pitman arm
7 degree C-bushing kit.
2 inch longer Front Sway Bar Drop Links
SKYJACKER Lift kit
Plated the frame where the steering box mounts to eliminate frame flex
SKYJACKER Dual shock steering stabilizers
All front bushings ( used the polyurethanes )

Disassembled the rear end and replaced it with another ford 9 inch, and rebuilt it. Axle seals, ring and pinions, etc.....

All new power steering lines, power steering pump, all new brake lines, replaced everything on the rear brake to include spring kit, wheel cylinders, and lines. Took the bench seat out and replaced it with a 94 bench seat. Much more comfortable, and has an arm rest. New heater core, blower motor. Truck has LED turn signals, front and rear. New NOS turn signal switch ( the whole wiring harness ) . Truck shifts fine, and all fluids have been changed. And i mean all fluids. I hardly ever drive this truck. Since it has been in my hands i have NEVER mudded this truck, Never had it in a creek or anything along that line. I will let this truck go for $5,000. I will not turn away a reasonable offer. I have had some offers from a couple of people just been on the fence if i want to get rid of this truck or not. It has been a big part of my life. I will include a few pictures which do this truck no justice. Send me a Pm and i can give you my number.
