I have visited this site for years looking for one of these trucks and they are very rare these days. My family owned one brand new in 78 and from what i understand the midas touch edition trucks were an option for dealers to order through ford direct. Our local dealer had 2 on the lot when we bought ours. Unfortunately ours was stolen in the late 80s when a family member took it to oklahoma. ill try and post a pic. i beleive they came in blue,silver and black.
How do i attach a pic?

That's what I said in my first reply but it was disputed. so I thought maybe it was something else.
From my comment I meant that it wasn't a Ford assembly line truck
I have seen the newer trucks with special Alberta... Western Related Packages.
Back in the 70's I think it was few & far between

Hold up, Mil1ion, I wasn't disputing you. What I was saying that it wasn't a one truck deal. There were several done and they went through a local dealer, I was told. No, I am sure there wasn't an RPO but they were sharp trucks. I had a picture of the truck but we can't find it. If we do find it. I will share it.

Brochure
Perhaps you are thinking of the free-wheeling package.
I have the 78 brochures and there isn't any Midas truck package listed.

Hey 'Benson, seems like you're the one keeping this thread alive. Keep those restoration pics and progress updates coming!

I found this picture of my 78 back when dad first bought it. I've been scouring these forums hoping to run across another one in the blue scheme. If anyone has pictures of the blue midas touch, I'd be very interested in seeing them! Mine is the only one I've ever seen anywhere, Internet or otherwise.

1978 Ford F-150 4x4 Midas Touch
I had the same truck when I was a teen, but in green. It had a short bed and bucket seats, round headlights, roll bar. I really really miss that old truck.
