Love that body style truck. Liked the square headlights better on the 79 though.

I had a 78 long bed but it wasn't the super cab. Loved that truck regret selling it to this day.

its not going to be for sale unless the fellar i picked it up for doesnt make the payments,its a 150 ranger explorer however i know nothing about fords not sure if thats a good thing or bad thing my ex father in law bought it new in 78 couldnt get a 3/4 ton at that time for whatever reason he bought 60 rear and other 3/4 ton parts switched it all over in early 80's to make it a 3/4 ton

curious of peoples thoughts on value of truck?

Nice old truck Tiger ! how did that brush hog work out for you ?

I’m not going to spit out an actual value, but I know the people who are selling them are sure enough proud of them. I have always regretting selling my 76 f250 highboy! I would buy one in a heartbeat if I could find one under 10k that wasn’t trashed and rusted out

I have a 65 that is a money pit. I would say 2-3k value for a non-running 2wd

I had a fully restored 79 super cab half ton with a 460 in it. It was black on black and all original. That was the only truck I kick myself for getting rid of. Not real sure of the value, but every decent classic truck is bringing at least 10k.

That's a pretty clean old Ford. In that condition, I'd think it would be worth $4-5K; but it wouldn't take much to make it worth $10-12K.

My first vehicle was a 78 F150 long bed Super Cab, 4X4 C6, with a 400. I sold it and bought a 78 Bronco, with a 400, and a C6. That truck I loved, that truck would go anywhere.

My very first brand new truck was a '77 F150 with a 351. If for some reason you need a set of stock exhaust manifolds, I still have them over at my sisters house.

I ordered the truck from the factory. Had it 3 months and swapped cam, intake, carb and put headers on it. An 18yr old don't need no stinkin warranty!


And by the way, it was a 351M not a Cleveland or Windsor.
