Orange Crush: 1979 F-150 is a Surefire Crowd-Pleaser
By John Pritchard

The classic looks and incredible power make this F-150 a winner any day!

 

I have a soft spot for orange dent sides...

 

Is it just me & my monitor, or it that truck 5 different shades of orange?

 

Bit of a grill change?

 

I see different shades too.

 

Or it's actually a '77 or earlier model.

 

I kinda like my orange truck. It's all original, except that the hood and left bed side have been painted and it rolls on those awful 1980s F150 wheels (that will be changing soon!).

 

I like it too, it’s a good looking truck. What wheels are you planning?

 

Agree with others about the shades of paint, the body/fender/door alignment is horrible. Early grill/hood along with early box and late bumper. I like orange but also like those awful 80's wheels.

 

I have a brand new set of 17" x 8" American Racing TTO (Torque Thrust Original) wheels shod with brand new Firestone FR710 tires stacked in my garage. The wheels have the satin finish rim and light gray-painted spokes. Gonna look killer!!!

 

The gaps and the black grill are awful. it has that restored for a quick sale look to me .
