New - 1979 Ford
Hi There
This is just a general posting to say that it is great to have a place to find out information on 1979 Ford Trucks. I have a 1979 Ford F-150 Custom Explorer. It is 90% original and it has 135,000 KM's on it. I'll post a picture some day. If anyone has information on common problems with this type of truck and ways to correct/prevent them, I'd like to hear it.
Cheers!

Ol' man, you're in trouble now. That truck is nothing but trouble. You are better off giving it to me right now before you get started.
No. just kidding with you.
Welcome to the forum, and enjoy your FORD!!.
Like any man-made item, it will break in time. Just fix it, and keep going.

Hi also,
newbie here too. I also have a 79 F-150 2wd. I think its an XLT lariat or something like that not too sure.
Anyhow bought if from a friend so I know the history pretty good. Its got a 1yr old rebuilt 460 w/ a custom cam (something like 550 lift and split duration) not too big, weiand intake, holley 750 vac. sec. headers, dual exhaust, C-6. Its a reg cab, long bed, marron and silver. Needs to have one rust spot fixed on the back wheel lip and repainted.
Int. is awesome, all original, A/C, ps, tilt, cruise, etc...

I'm new to this site, too, and I think it's great!! I own a '79 F-150 4x4. It's a short stepside,351M, automatic.The only problem I have, besides the play in the steering, is the fact that I can pass everything but the gas station. I put a K&N air filter on it , which improved my mileage to 12mpg from 10.The truck itself has over 150,000 miles on it, and is my daily driver,off-roader,etc., etc.I wouldn't trade it for a handful of Chevys!(Sorry, I said the "C" word!!)My rebuilt motor has 60,000 on it, and I haven't had any trouble from it. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere!!
