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.
