  • In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 1978 Ford F100. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

    Love this truck! Beautiful inside and out. Well worth the 8 grand to buy it in my opinion. Kyle rocks as always! How can someone not like this truck?! Shoot...if I had the money, I would take this over a new one any day! The craftsmanship in the good old days were incredible.

    I had a '78 Custom 150. One of the 2 best trucks I ever had (the other was a '72 Ranger XLT). My '78 had the 300 inline 6 with a 4 speed manual. Great fuel mileage and plenty pulling power. The ride was great and it handled well. These were great trucks.

    Look at the valave covers and the thick timing chain cover and the water thermostat housing goes on the intake manifold. If it was a 351 modified or any style of a cleveland motor the thermostat housing would be mounted to the block. That truck definately has a 460 in it.

    Even though I'm a lifetime Chevy/GM fan, I absolutely love the '55/'56 Ford F1's and the shortbox Ford F-10's like this one!!! They have so much potential for an extremely badass pro-touring/resto-mod build. However, the one in this video doesn't need anything and I would keep it exactly how it is. The only thing I'd do is maybe switch out the wheels/rims for a set of Forgeline's or Budnik's.

      Jose Saenz The 1978 custom is the only trim that had round headlights. All other trims in 1978 had square headlights. 1979 had square headlights on all trim levels.

      If this is a '78, it is a Ranger since it has rectangular headlights. '78 Customs still had round headlights.

    • @erikbunty2016
      @erikbunty2016 Před 2 lety

      Oh, it says Custom on the glove box. Then this has to be a '79 since rectangular headlights were standard on all F-Series pickups and Broncos by then, unless this was a restored '78 with aftermarket headlights.

It was going to be my first vehicle but we never got around to fixing it and had been sitting for so long so I don't even know if it will still crank with the old fluids but structurally nearly the whole vehicle is in good shape. Keep bringing in the good finds.

    I have a 79 in Good Shape with 157,000 plus and I get about 10 mpg on a good day. But it runs pretty good. Being that he is in another state other than California. He get to add a few things here and there that will help mpg. But I doubt that he will ever get better than say 14 to 15. But what a nice truck. If it all metal like mine. Then it's is worth it. He never said I don't think what the price of the truck was.
