Love it.
Then you see the ladies smile at the end. Just says it all.
Nice touch with the motor with a splash of pink.
Very nice rig. 👍

Good, this is way to do, restoring entire car not only the motor as some do leaving all the rust and bad paint. Great job.

Great job on your truck ! Brings back memories of my dad he had 1977 he bought it new, sure miss my dad and his truck! Thanks!

My dad has a 1979 F-100 Custom single cab short bed that is red, and man is a beautiful truck. I’m 19 and I wished that I could’ve bought a 1979 F-150 short bed back in 1979. That restoration looks amazing.

Sir, ma'am, I understand the pink.
The phenomenal truck build goes beyond reproach.
But it is secondary.
Ma'am, I trust you are continuing on in life as intended, healthy, vibrant. He needs you.
Sir, an over the top proof of your love in action, not just words.
Your skill set is professional.
Thank you.

Beautiful truck with an even more beautiful owner. Husband is one lucky dude.

I think this was about the best looking Truck Ford ever made, This also goes or all other brands also. The running gear was nothing to be ashamed of either.

[bigboss]

Now I understand the pink valve covers! However, having said that, I found images of this truck on Google images a year or two ago but could only find two. I looked for more but couldn’t find different angles because being a Ford man myself I wanted to use the different angles in my “Ford Only” screensaver! This is one really beautiful looking truck! I was never big on two-tone paint jobs but I like this one!

My pop bought his last new truck in 1976. F100 Ranger XLT 4X4 360 V8 4 spd and it only had 2 high and 4 high. Beautiful restoration....

[danshields]

GREAT JOB and now you get to enjoy all of your hard work. I hope any of mine turn out as good.

[podocrypto]

Wow, I had a 1977 F-150 4x4 short bed when I was 17yrs old, but all my life I've always dreamed of a truck like this one you finished. That is my dream truck for sure!!

[wade]

Wow! Absolutely lucky enough to find my son a 1988 4×4 in great condition-not excellent but, very nice ! He absolutely loves it! Back quarter panel has some rust on the bottom about the size of a baseball. He says he is going to fix it himself.

Beautiful truck, I have a 79 F 150 XLT Ranger short bed, I would like to restore it for my daughter, as long as she will let me drive it once in a while . LOL

[dennislockhart]

I know I'm year late on leaving a comment, but this was by far the best looking trucks ever built, I've owned.... well I've lost count, and now looking to buy another one. 👍👍

This may be THE most beautiful F-150 I have ever

[TBullCajunbreadmaker]

My first P/U was a 1970 Ford F-100 with a 390, 4 speed, with a 780 Holley on a med rise alum. intake and 3/4 Isky race cam. It had factory headers and big 2/1/2 inch dual pipes. It played a very sweet sound. That was the only 2nd hand truck I ever had. I bought a 1980 F-150 with a 460 and 4 speed, a 84 F-150 Lariat, a 88 F-150 with just about everything you could have in a truck with an in line 300 six and 5 speed on the floor, that went to my son when he turned 16. I bought another 1992 F-150 Lariat for myself and two more after that. The last two trucks I never cared too much for because they started turning more into pick up trucks that were car-like and have lost their mystique as trucks. What they make now are more throw away items than anything else. Whoever heard of an aluminum bed in a pick up truck. Blasphemy!

[standupp]

Those were such great looking trucks and were real eye catchers when they came out with that new grille.

[frankcastle]

That truck looks very beautiful! I like how it came out!
I'm getting my 1976 f100 stepside back today.. I'm excited!
