In fact, that's what we live for.
It's the very basic model, no custom cab or side moldings. Good solid trucks, fairly easy to work on and horrible on fuel consumption.
I have a 1979 custom cab, camper special with a 460ci, 4:10 gears and automatic. That thing will pull a house, climb a tree, spin the tires and gets 10MPG empty and 7MPG pulling.[:0]`
And now after all that, I too see the little stinky guy.[xx(][:D]

There's a real skinny dude trying to steal your truck and you might want to wipe the brain matter off of the windshield![:D]
There are two kinds of people in this World....Those who lead....and those who get the hell out of the way...GUT CHECK!...Which one are you?
It even had the same ford needed front tow hooks under the front bumper.
Gun control is hitting what your aiming at.
I have my doubts about it being a 4X4 but it is a 1979, my neighbor just sold one identical to it right down to the color.

why did he sell it? was it unreliable?

78 1/2 was the change for square headlights so it could be an early 78 or a 77 with that grill. It is not a 79 unless someone has changed out the headlight buckets.
I am saying F250 2 wheel drive. I can't see if there are leaf springs which would label it as an F250, the size of the tires looks to be 16 so I am guessing F250. Definately 2 wheel drive by the bottom of the front axle.

thats when they made real pickups! you damn well knew when you put a dent in one of them girls and they damn sure where not yuppie trucks[:D].....some day mine will get rebuilt....i got a 7.3L idi diesel engine that will get souped up and put in it[8D]
as far as the exact year, as i stated i had a 77 f150 identical, everyone can speculate on exact series and year, but remember most all of the grills, lights and mirrors can be changed, and i have seen this allot, whether it was from a wreck or to make it look a few years newer
and as far as that actual truck i would not be very interested myself, besides the cracked grill it has an extension cord wrapped around it{usually for a charger}, and looks like it has some serious leakage, the paint is coming off in several places, looks like a quick spray job with no primer due to the orange showing, and it looks as it it may have some frame damage, look at the door, then the placement of the bed, i would suspect it took a impact enough to throw the bed a good three inches out of alignment, and 4X4's did not have front hubcaps
It implies there is already a block heater installed and you don't have to spend money to have one put in if you don't have a garage to park in.
Life in below zero weather can be made much easier with block heaters. Many of the employers around here even have outlets in parking lots for employees to plug their vehicles in.
