Fresh off a nut and bolt restoration, this '77 Ford F-150 checks all the right boxes and wins us over with its handsome looks.
Worthy of Affection
You'd have a hard time convincing us (or anyone else) that there's a cooler truck out there than a two-tone, four-wheel-drive, '70s Ford F-Series pickup. Especially when they look as fine as this '77 F-150 we recently spotted over at Vanguard Motor Sales. The fully restored beauty is absolutely immaculate inside, out, and underneath, and that makes it more than worthy of our collective affection.

Perfect Combo
Black and red was obviously a solid color choice for this classic truck, and the paint looks simply perfect. It's complemented by gorgeous chrome work on the bumpers and trim, all of which look like brand new pieces. And a set of polished aluminum wheels wrapped in 33" tires perfectly compliments the truck's factory features without going overboard.

Joy to Drive
The stance of this four-wheeler is obviously perfect as well, both aggressive and moderate. But the truck also packs a host of features that undoubtedly make driving it a joy, including power steering and power brakes.

Dark Insides
Black vinyl and cloth cover the bulk of the truck's interior in what appears to be a very comfy and clean cabin. An aftermarket steering wheel and gauges jazz it up nicely as well as provide an upgraded feel and feedback.

Dressed to Impress
Under the hood, you'll find a beautiful engine bay packing a dressed-up 351 V8. A chrome air cleaner and valve covers really give the motor some shine, while the Ford Blue block looks great, too. There are a few upgrades here as well, including headers and an MSD ignition.

Getting Dirty
Most truck owners don't bother with making the undersides look great, but that certainly isn't the case here. Everything is obviously clean and sanitary, including the 9-inch Ford rear end and Dana 44 front axle. With Warn locking hubs up front, this F-150 is ready to get dirty if you so wish, however.

Sit and Stare
Trucks simply don't get much better than this gorgeous '77 F-150, that's for sure. Fresh off an incredible restoration with an obsessive attention to detail, we could sure sit and stare at it all day. But having it in our stable to drive, well, that would be even better!
