Fantasy 1977 Ford F-100 Hits the Auction Block

Ford pickups built from 1973 through 1979 are affectionately known as “dentsides” by fans everywhere. These stylish trucks have built up a cult-like following and are considered to be the pinnacle of Ford Trucks by many. It simply doesn’t get much better than these great looking and capable workhorses. If you detect a little bias in those comments, you’re probably right!

The 1977 Ford F-100 above is a great example of why dentsides are so popular. With a nice and unique metallic blue paint job, flawless chrome and an iconic stainless trim, you just can’t help but feel all warm and fuzzy when you look at a truck of this caliber.

The 15″ American Torq Thrust wheels with staggered size tires give it a bit of an aggressive look. The houndstooth bench seat gives the interior a bit of nostalgic flair to go along with the blue bits. Power comes from the iconic 302 V8, which even has the original two-barrel carb on top.

Options are aplenty, with factory air-conditioning, power steering, dual exhaust and front disc brakes, which have been added for daily reliability. All in all, this 1977 Ford is one fine ride that should please dentside fans everywhere.
