WHAT YOU ARE VIEWING IS A 1979 FORD F350 4X4 SUPER CAB XLT,THE F350 4X4 SUPER CABS WERE A VERY LOW OF NUMBER BUILT TRUCKS, THE TRUCK IS VERY CLEAN AND MOSTLY ORIGINAL AND ALMOST RUST FREE,I SAY THAT BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PICS OF THE INSIDE OF THE BED YOU CAN SEE WHAT SEEMS TO BE RUST AS IT IS NOT,THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAULED A BIG SLIDE IN CAMPER WHICH STAYED IN THE BED AND KEPT IT THERE,BEFORE SLIDING THE CAMPER IN HE PUT A PIECE OF PLYWOOD DOWN TO KEEP THE CAMPER FROM RUBBING ON THE FLOOR OF THE BED,OVER THE YEARS THE MOISTURE AND RAIN THAT GOT ON THE PLYWOOD CAUSE SURFACE RUST TO APPEAR AND LIFTED THE PAINT HOW EVER THE FLOOR OF THE BED IS JUST AS SOLID AS WHEN MADE,I WAS GOING TO HAVE IT CLEANED UP AND REPAINTED AND EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT A LINER BUT I REALLY DO NOT LIKE THOSE IN A CLASSIC VEHICL, THE TRUCK CAME FROM OREGON WHICH IS WHERE IT SPENT ALL OF ITS LIFE,WHEN THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS NOT USING IT IT WAS STORED IN HIS BUILDING SAVING THE INTERIOR FROM THE ELEMENTS AND FROM FADING .AS YOU CAN SEE HOW GOOD OF SHAPE IT'S IN,EVEN THE CARPET IS STILL VERY NICE AS WELL AS THE SEATS.THE BODY IS STRAIGHT FOR A TRUCK THAT IS 41 YEARS OLD, YES IT HAS SOME SCRATCHES AND SMALL DINGS HERE OR THERE BUT OVER ALL A NICE TRUCK.
