STK 3821 1978 Ford F-150 Ranger XLT
Over the years, the Ford F-150 has earned a reputation for durability and longevity. Its timeless appeal and enduring performance make it a beloved classic in the world of trucks. This 1978 F-150 Ranger XLT 4-WD short-bed has had a careful restoration (2023) along with numerous mechanical upgrades. All work was professionally done and documentation with receipts is provided.
The exterior was refinished in custom Emerald Green and is in very good condition. The owner has installed Rough Country lighted retracting 'R/C E-Board' electric side steps and the bed has a spray-in liner for protection. A fold-out Bed Extender has been fitted along with a 2” hitch receiver with light connection. Exterior accents include chrome bumpers, new XLT stainless trim, dual chrome mirrors and new front facia components. Polished 22”x12” Fuel alloys mount Toyo R/T Open Country all-terrain radials. The interior of this truck is outstanding. It was carefully reupholstered in green/gray vinyl with a matching headliner and the dash contains a full complement of Dakota Digital HDX gauges with color sequencing via a phone app. Other features include fully-functional heat-A/C, tinted windows, faux burlwood accents and a Flaming River tilt column with Spark Industries billet wheel. The owner has also added a custom center console, 'Old School' floor mats and custom door panels/kick panels.
Other new features of the interior include:
• Painless wiring harness with fuse box
• Carpeting
• Interior lighting
• Sliding rear window
• Rubber seals
• Pedals
• Heater core and blower
A raging AM/FM/CD audio system is comprised of:
• Kenwood multi-head unit with NAV/Apple Carplay
• 1500w Rockford Fosgate BD Competition amp
• 800w Rockford Fosgate mid-range amp
• 10” Rockford Fosgate sub-woofers
• (6) 4” Rockford Fosgate mid-range speakers
• Backup camera
Based on owner input, the detailed engine compartment houses a 400ci 335 Series Ford V8. This high-torque engine was derived from the 'Cleveland design' and was used in full-sized Ford pick-ups/Broncos from 1977-1982. It is equipped with Sniper EFI, K&N air intake system, roller cam/rockers and tube headers to a custom exhaust. Other new engine components include:
• Edelbrock intake
• Distributor and ignition components
• Water pump
• Alternator
• Aluminum radiator
• Overflow can
• Starter
• Optima battery
• A/C compressor
• All fuel system components including fuel tank
The engine is backed by a C-6 three-speed automatic. The clean chassis has been restored with new suspension components, power steering and rebuilt differential units. There is a new manual transfer case and new Warn manual front hubs. A solid rear axle is equipped with a 31-spline 9” TruTrac differential. Final gearing is 4.10:1 and Wilwood 4-wheel power disc brakes utilize 14” slotted rotors, a new dual master cylinder and new booster. Suspension configuration is front coils with rear leaves and the F-150 has been the beneficiary of an well designed suspension upgrade that includes a serious lift kit and Fox Performance shocks all around. This is a handsome, dependable ride that any Blue Oval fan will enjoy. ALL VEHICLES SOLD “AS IS”.
