Drive The Coast is proud to present this 1979 Ford F-150 Custom 4x4, powered by Ford’s legendary 460 cubic-inch big block V8 mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. The final year of the 6th-generation F-Series, 1979 marked the end of an era — the last of Ford’s classic round-headlight trucks, built with heavy-gauge steel, bold styling, and unmistakable presence.
This example has been beautifully preserved and tastefully upgraded, retaining its authentic stance and factory character. The massive 460 delivers effortless torque and unmistakable sound, backed by the durable New Process transfer case and manual locking hubs. The combination of a big-block and 4-speed gearbox makes this one of the most desirable powertrains of the vintage F-Series lineup — offering both brute strength and total driver engagement.
The exterior presents with excellent body lines, straight panels, and bright trim, complemented by classic chrome bumpers and period-correct wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires. Underneath, the truck shows solid structure and well-kept mechanical condition — the kind of honest, well-cared-for example collectors seek out.
Inside, the cabin retains its vintage Ford charm with a bench seat, full gauge cluster, and original switchgear, offering a simple, durable environment that reminds you why these trucks became icons of American craftsmanship.
With its final-year styling, rare factory 460 power, and desirable 4-speed manual drivetrain, this 1979 F-150 represents the perfect blend of collectible originality and real-world performance. Square-body Fords from this era continue to surge in demand.
