Overview of 1978 Ford F-150 Short Bed For Sale by Owner

The Ford F150 has long been the most popular pick-up in the United States, and it’s earned its reputation for being a solid work truck, capable of fulfilling just about any role asked of it. Even with a new era of electrification, the F150 shows no sign of slowing down, with new fans being found for the all-electric F150 Lightning. But while a new generation of F150 owners continues to keep the nameplate alive, its trucks like our featured listing from 1978 that paved the way. Our featured 1978 Ford F150 Custom has been fully restored and includes a rebuilt engine. The owner describes it as a restomod and from these images, it certainly looks the part.

Exterior and Interior

The boxy and purposeful lines of the 1978 Ford F150 Custom give the truck a bold design, while the short bed layout lends itself to the proportions. This particular version features a bright orange exterior color. Described as a full restoration, the paint is likely new. You’ll also notice the lift kit, which adds ride height to the truck. The tall stance is further enhanced with the chunky off-road Mastercraft tires. The single-cab cabin features a bench seat and a black interior. There’s a Pioneer double-din stereo head unit present and an auxiliary oil pressure gauge located under the dash. Then, atop the steering column is a tachometer so that you can keep an eye on the revs.

Engine

Under the hood of this 1978 Ford F150 Custom lies a 400ci V8 engine that has reportedly undergone a full rebuild. This truck features selectable four-wheel drive and sends power to the wheels via an automatic transmission.

1932 Ford Model 40 5-Window Coupe Hot Rod

Current Ask
$74,700

This 1932 Ford Model 40 5-Window Coupe Hot Rod is an all-steel, heavily customized build that combines authentic early-Ford architecture with the unmistakable performance character of a 1969 Corvette-sourced 427ci Big-Block Chevrolet V8. Showing approximately 6,977 miles, the car was conceived as a one-of-one creation rather than a conventional street rod, with virtually every major component selected or engineered around its distinctive combination of vintage Henry Ford steel and big-block Chevrolet power. Its all-steel 1932 Ford 5-window body has been given a dramatic 4-inch roof chop, producing the low, aggressive profile at the heart of the build, while the fenderless front end, exposed suspension, deep-dish Cragar S/S wheels, front skinnies, and substantial rear performance rubber reinforce its traditional hot-rod attitude. Beneath the body is a custom fully boxed aftermarket frame designed to cope with the torque of the 427, backed by a heavy-duty TH400 automatic and Ford 9-inch rear axle. According to the seller, the car has also received significant publicity and attracted attention from collectors, further separating it from the typical home-built street rod.

1969 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350

Current Ask
$99,999

By 1969, the Shelby GT350 had evolved from the raw, competition-minded Mustang of the mid-1960s into something broader in character: still unmistakably performance-focused, but now with the presence and comfort of a true high-speed grand tourer. This 1969 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 shows approximately 80,436 miles and wears Black Jade over a Black interior with red seat accents, a combination that suits the car’s more mature personality especially well. Its Shelby identity is everywhere, from the functional twin-scoop fiberglass hood and Cobra-branded grille to the side scoops, GT350 graphics, rear decklid spoiler, Shelby Automotive identification plate, and Carroll Shelby signature across the passenger-side dash. Underneath, the 351ci Windsor V8, SelectShift Cruise-O-Matic automatic, and 3.25:1 Traction-Lok rear axle give it the kind of effortless V8 pace expected from a late-1960s Shelby, while power steering, power-assisted front disc brakes, and air conditioning make this example as much a road-going GT as it is a muscle car. It is a fitting snapshot of the moment when Shelby Mustangs became less about stripped-down competition and more about combining speed, style, and long-distance usability.
