Ya it probably had a camper with it. My neighbors truck finally gave up the ghost. Run that thing to over 200,000 miles with no problems. Geez I wish I was back in 1979.

 

NICE + you and me both

 

Just for comparrison sake, I found a site that said the base price of my 77 F150 Custom 2wd truck w/ 302 V8 and C4 automatic was $4913 in 1977.

 

The original title to my 77 F250 4x4 had the original price of approximately $5500. I wish I would have taken a pic of it before I had the title transfer.

 

The original owner of my 78 sc said it cost 10k w/ the camper shell. I might send him an email to verify this


tried emailing original owner and the mail came back.He was quite old when I bought the truck from him,he might not be around anymore

 

I still have my window sticker for the 78 .

It was stilling on the lot for $9250.00 as you see it in the Evolution album in my gallery

Remember though, this is in Western Canada.

 

well a 1976/1975 Super Camper Speacial in 75/76 cost 15,000 with the camper

 

When is your birthday and how old will you be ?

I have some original ad's of these trucks.. Maybe I'll send you one for your BD

 

excellent idea,

 

My 75 F150 2wd was sold on August 27, 1975 for $5800. The original owner had it since brand new and sold it to me on June 29, 2001 for 700 bucks. He said it was a good truck and he didn't use it that much anymore. It has the original 390 4V, C-6 auto, power disc brakes, power steering, sliding rear window, and the Explorer option. That's all the options it has. It only had 100K when I got it and now it has 108K. I didn't drive it that much in high school, because it only got 10 mpg.

The original owner said it was in stock when he bought it. He didn't order the truck. He drove it into the late 80's or early 90's then it sat for over 10 years before it was for sale. The 390 ran but didn't idle on its own. Turned out it was the coil that was bad at the time it ran. I've replaced the fuel pump, alternator, belts, voltage regulator, valve cover gaskets, rebuilt the carb, rebuilt the brakes, put on new tires and rims, and done maintenance on it. Right now it's sitting in the shed at the house, waiting for spring to come so I can drive it.

BTW, the truck was sold new in my hometown and the dealership that sold it, Frontier Ford, is no longer in business.

Hope you enjoyed this story!

 

I just looked up the original application for tilt on my 1979 F-100.
Price of vehicle 4218.00. Sales tax and Lic fee 194.72
Out the door price $4412.72
Odometer Mileage of vehicle 27

 

After seeing all the prices I guess My $7500.00 I paid in 1976 4x4 wasn't a rip off after all...
