Today we have a pristine example of the 6th generation Ford F series pickup truck line. This model is a 1978 F-150 Ranger XLT. The F-series is one of the most successful vehicle lines in the history of the world and was at one time the best selling civilian vehicle world wide having been in production since 1948 and continuing to this day. The 6th gen F series was available with a wide variety of gasoline powered 6 and 8 cylinder engines ranging from the 240ci Inline 6 cylinder to the 400ci big block V8. A 4-cylinder diesel engine was available in Argentinian market models. (America would not get a diesel F-series until the 1980s) This example has the Ranger dress-up package that includes chrome door handles, and rectangular headlights. The original owner must have opted not to take the chrome grille insert that was offered on the Ranger package. The truck also has aftermarket nerf bars located under the doors. This is a rare clean example of one of these trucks as most are still at work. We have a 75' F-150 in our family that has been a workhorse it's entire life and with over 300,000 on the clock and shows no signs of quitting anytime soon. I see these trucks on jobsites and with company names decal-ed on the side all the time. Ford has been and always will be the best manufacture of pickup trucks in the world.
