I have a 1980 ford ranger F150 last year of full size ranger 4 speed (granny gear) 4x4 just starting build. Bought it of family friend who bought it off the lot in Montana
ALL 79 were square headlights. 78 Customs were round. 78 Rangers and XLT were square headlights. I know a little about this because I bought them brand new back in the day. Best ever!
Beautiful truck Nick....Im waiting for snow and your all in shorts and all...lol. The new lot looks great Nick...looking forward to the reveal. I miss my 68 F100
Awesome video amigo I just bought a 76 f-250 460 4 spd hi boy can’t wait to get started on this project but love the orange colour sounds great shifts smooth very nice ride
@@paulcoffey6905 Ok Paul, didn't mean to 'ruffle yur feathers' ...just that these are my favorite years of trucks, I was a teenager when they were out and owned a few, so I lived through it. What you and I are saying is the same thing...the 1979 'model year' of truck WAS made in autumn 1978 through summer '79. Even though the build date was '78, the 'model year' is '79. Please Paul, don't be so upset, they still do the same thing today. I'm not trying to 'piss you off', just stating my truth.
Love everything about it except for the color. Yellow and orange are my two "Hell no colors" lol. Even if it's any one of my dream cars on the dream car bucket list and is going for a real great price I still couldn't buy it.. I could have it repainted but I'll always know that it was a pumpkin or sunflower at one point and it'll ruin it for me lol.. Thanks again Nick for sharing this with us and I know that you won't have it on the lot for long. I'm guessing maybe a month at best!.
Yeah, me too. I really like the stock steering wheel. This sponge one is period correct 'aftermarket'. A lot of fellas replaced with these for the 'sure grip' and the perceived 'cool factor'.
If you currently have a jj best loan on a car your financing could you trade it in to your lot just like a regular dealership? I have a pretty mint 1972 GTO 4 speed that I’m kinda on the fence with.
Did he start out in first gear?! Shouldn't this be a granny gear? No signs of the classic ford 150 rust on wheel wells. Only one fuel tank. No cracks on dash board. Space between cab and bed seems parallel. No test of 4x4. Floor board rust out for left foot getting in? Buy it.
I've got a 78. 351M and 400 were also available. They were available with round or square headlights. Maybe changed from round to square half way through the model year?
I absolutely love this truck!
Me to!
Si español 🙏🙏👍
Even better, it's has a manual transmission!!👍👍😁😎🌞🌞☃️⛄🎄🎄🎁🎁
Seems honest,& most everything works.42 yrs old & doesn't look a day over 20.

Another great truck for a good price
That battery is saying goodbye! Make sure she's charging! Nick, you just can't hardly find a good horn anymore!
This lil truck sounds good
Might have been built in '78 but is definitely a '1979 model year'...'78 has ROUND headlights, '79 has RECTANGULAR headlights.
78 had square lights half way through the model year.. do your research before you try calling someone out..

Walking tall...I would get a gun rack with a 4×4 board in it...I love it
Such a great price.
BOUT TIME THATS WHAT IM TALKING BOUT OLD LATE 70S GOING TO BE SOLD SO FAST
whatever happened to the steward Warner gauges. I had a lot of them in. my 64 ford ,
great truck
Seems to run a little hot if the temp gage is correct
She's cherry! 👌
Love love love
Needs a new battery.
Need !
Hate the damn steering wheel....
Haters will hate
When trucks were trucks
Amen
What is the Cubic Inch of the motor?
BIG.
Wondering the same thing, looks like it could be a 360, 390 or 460.
Don’t like that steering wheel

Steering wheel looks undersized for my taste but an otherwise nice looking truck.
Why didn't you say what size the engine was I assume 390 or wish but probly a 400 witch is a boat anchor
Trucks gotta be worth around $3,500
Lmao truck is worth what we asked for it. Actually just sold for asking price like all of our rides. Thanks for watching
Nick your videos keep breaking up ! and it doesn't matter what setting I use (144 all the 1080HD ! ) you need to fix this
Yeah I haven’t had that issue or heard of it.

Had one just like it but a short bed with a 460... You can check it out on my TH-cam channel btw man I shouldn't have sold it smh
That is a1979 ford truck round headlights on the 1978 square headlights where the first on the 1979
Parents bought 78 Bronco brand new with square headlights. I still have it. Both years 78 and 79 customs could still have round headlights.
For went every 6 months back in those days any true 78 will have round headlights the square ones are 78 and a half
Mr Howe is correct. The headlights were changed in 78 to square half way through the model year.
@@johnkempter8162 the two engine's in those day's offered by ford where a 360 or you could update to a 400 cubic inch
