1979 Ford F-150

The 1979 Ford F 150 Ranger XLT stands tall as one of the last of the true square body bruisers before the 1980 redesign softened the edges. This is the final year of the sixth generation, a body style that helped cement Ford's dominance in the pickup wars of the late seventies. With its factory short bed and classic two tone Black and Gray paint, this truck delivers the kind of stance that defined an era when pickups were built to work hard and look mean doing it. Under the hood sits a 400 cubic inch V8, a member of Ford's 335 series big block family that earned a reputation for stump pulling torque and bulletproof durability.
