1988 Ford F-150 4x4 Pickup Truck 5.0 Liter V8 5 Speed Manual Classic Vintage Col

1988 Ford F-150 4x4 Description

This great looking F150 is kind of a dual sport of pickup trucks. It's a great looking street machine that you can be proud to pull up to a restaurant or show in, but it has serious cred when it comes to getting the job done where the pavement ends too. Check it out. A recent respray in this beautiful Dark Blue was done in a basecoat/clearcoat system to give it a nice shine and also good... durability. An eggcrate grill is flanked by AVS tinted headlight covers that blend in with the paint for a nice look as well. A sharp looking chrome bumper adds a splash of flash to the front and there is a chrome twin-tube roll bar with LED driving lights mounted on top of it in the bed. So, while all that flash looks good for cruising the boulevard and heading out on the town, the truck is ready to get some business done too. The bed is rhino lined and has a hitch for a 5th wheel in the center of it as well as provisions for one on the back bumper for lighter duty towing. The wheels and tires are another example of the dual sport nature of this truck too with great looking American Racing wheels shod with Mud Claw M/T tires. Open the door and you will find a really sharp looking Gray interior. The door panel has a nice cloth insert above a long armrest that makes for comfortable cruising. Also comfortable is the bench seat upholstered in Gray cloth and trimmed in vinyl with a fold down armrest in the center that offers the flexibility of seating either two or three across. A two spoke steering wheel with cruise controls at your finger tips sits in front of a good-looking stock dashboard with wood toned trim. The speedometer is mounted directly in front of the driver with the tach to the right and gauges for fuel, water temp, oil pressure and voltage on the left. Controls for the ventilation system that include air conditioning to keep you cool on those hot summer days are in the center just above the stereo and the shifters for the manual transmission as well as the transfer case are mounted on the center tunnel. Pop the hood on this truck and you will find a tried and true 5.0-liter V8 engine. It is completely stock with signs of good regular maintenance that includes a new battery as well as a new throttle position sensor for the fuel injection. The exhaust heads back through a Flowmaster muffler and the power the engine makes flows back through a 5-speed manual transmission and the transfer case to the rear wheels, or all the wheels. A solid rear axle is mounted on leaf springs with a sway bar to help keep things stable while towing and a twin I-Beam front suspension also has a sway bar to help with handling and power steering to make maneuvering easy in parking lots. Power front disc brakes assure that there is good stopping power available and the rubber meets the road, or the dirt, through 31X10.50R15LTs mounted on those American Racing alloys. Dual sport personality. A good-looking truck with a good work ethic too. Come on down and check it out. It may be just the combination you have been looking for.
