This 79 Ford gets lots of thumbs up as the bright redish orange Coral paint really stands out. The original paint is rich and looks good and shiny, Coral is an interesting color which takes on different tones in depending on the light. While this truck is a looker, it is a 40 year old 4 wheel drive truck with a less than perfect body. What you see is what you get, there are dents, dings, scratches. The rust in the body is the 2 small holes behind both rear wheels. The cab does not have rust, all the floors are solid. The Chrome is in good shape. The grille is in good shape.
Step insidethis Ford and the interior is in decent original shape. The Explorer package comes with a unique plaid designed seat which is in good shape except for the tear on the drivers side. The dash is original and has the original radio. The Explorer package also comes complete with a headliner which is in great shape. The original carpet is for the most part in good shape except for a few areas on the drivers side. There is 2 gun racks with racks for 6 rifles. Overall the interior is in good shape for being 40 years old, nothing is missing and everything is original.
Mechanicallythis truck is solid. The 351cid V8 fires up and runs good. It is the original motor which has been rebuilt once in its life. The clutch is good and the truck shifts smooth in all gears. The brakes stop as the should. Overall the truck is in good mechanical condition, it is original and has been maintained, but is a 40 year original truck and should be treated that way. The tires are usable but should be replaced.
