1977 Ford F-150 Short Bed 4X4 400/C6 - RARE 8 Lug Axles & Factory Air

This eye catching F -150 was registered in California. spent most or all of its life in San Diego until just last year. The guy I bought this from owns a tire shop and did a complete rebuild on the front end with new 3 1/2 Highlift springs and new shocks in the front also. It also has new or like new BFG All-Terrain T/A's (35x12. 50-16. 5) and Eagle Alloys. Dual tanks. new brakes all around. new U-joints where needed. The 4WD works with a Dana 60 in the rear. NP 205 transfer case. front Dana 44 High Pinion. 3/4 ton knuckles. The previous owner says he bought the truck from the son of the original owner and was told it was originally ordered with the 3/4 ton running gear from the factory. though I can't confirm that. I don't know if it was a DSO (Domestic Special Order) but I have photos of both the door tag and door jam tag. According to my research of the VIN it came with a 351 2 barrel and a 4 speed but it clearly has a 400 4 barrel with a C6 Automatic in it now. a nice shifting. very strong running & torquey 400 with a beautiful (my wife says loud) exhaust note coming from the dual Flowmasters. The previous owner said the original owners son said if getting parts for the drivetrain to get them for a 1978 F-250. In fact I rebuilt the steering column and shift lever because the shifter was cracked loose around the column. so I ordered new parts for a 1977 F-150 from LMC truck. they came in and didn't fit. So I tried ordering for a '78 F-250 and they fit. problem fixed. Notice in the photo how high the oil pressure is. this was idling after a minute or two. The engine has headers. a just rebuilt Holley 600. new Champion Cooling Systems radiator. ChampionCooling. com (quite a story) this thing runs COOL! MSD sal ingnition. MSD Blaster coil. MSD Billet Distributor. Everything works (see condition description above) all guages with the exception of the aux tank guage (main tank guage works. I use both tanks) lights. factory A/C all work. I put new windshield wiper and turn signal switches in it. It has a new Sony CD player with SiruisXM. iPod USB. Pandora and new speakers. But I don't play it much because I love to hear the sound of the exhaust. some of you guys know what I'm talking about. 38 year old truck. so its not perfect. mileage says 74. 19 I do not know if it has rolled over or not. One rust hole in bed as described above shown in photo. Front bumper not perfect. it had a slight bend. I had it straightened out. see photo. I have tried to show the worst so the buyer sees just what he is getting. All pretty minor considering the overall package. Good Luck. you won't see too many like this one!
