The seat was rebuilt and recovered in classic black vinyl. The truck was scuffed and satin clear coated to keep the patina yet stop any future rust. The lowered stance of this truck was created by reverse eye leaf springs which give a nice ride and a great look.

The freshly Rebuilt 302 Ford V8 backed by a rebuilt C6 transmission puts the power to the road. We show you how easy it is to patina or rust your car or truck, in a few easy steps. The Vintage Farm Truck Patina is a mask of whats underneath. Originally used as a utility vehicle by a Harley- Davidson dealership, the truck was described as a 'Barn fresh, unrestored, all- steel, real patina'. Some feel that “patina” is a big selling feature and maybe with certain buyers it is.This American Classic F100 has the best of both worlds. The Patina wars are once again underway, this time with a 1965 Chevy C10 taking the crown from a Florida-based 1957 Ford F-100 (which itself stole Patina King honors from a 1985 Ford. Experience will tell one that a recharge will work fine until all of the refrigerant leaks out again.Īlright, so this is the more desirable short bed F-150 which makes it a popular and collectible truck, but in this condition? And there’s no posing about it, this Ford has obviously been a worker. This is an A/C equipped truck but it’s on the fritz and claimed to need a recharge. And being a single cab environment, there’s not that much to do inside be it a refresh, a redo, a rearrangement, or a restoration. That said, the instrument panel still shows well as do the door panels. The seating upholstery looks like it encountered a Wyoming grizzly, the dash pad is cracked and the floor mat is totally deteriorated. The interior is claimed to be in need of a “ refresh” but my definition for refresh is a bit different. The transmission in this F-150 works in concert with a transfer case as this is a 4X4 configured truck but there’s no reference as to whether all of it works properly or not. I’m not sure what the barn find notation has to do with operating capability unless it’s a nod to a long-term slumber. Stated as having only experienced 78K miles, this Ford’s 351 CI V8 and attached four-speed manual transmission is described as “ runs and drives well for a barn find“. Often times, you find a car or truck with great patina, but there is a mismatched body panel. Unfortunately, there’s no included image of the cargo bed. But, like many vehicles with natural patina, there is often a panel that is a little too far gone with rust, both front fenders and both rockers and inner floors in this case. ![]() take a look at some of the close-ups of the hood. The only rust is a couple of small spots on the front of the hood and a hole from a stake hitting the top of the tailgate…” OK, admittedly this truck looks pretty solid and the body appears to be free of crash damage. The seller states, “ The body is mostly rust-free and all original paint (and patina!). That dreaded “P” word has crept into this truck’s listing description but the moonscape hood and cargo bed sides look more like this F-150 saw a trip to the blast shed and then parked itself outside for some indeterminate time. It now calls the Tar Heel state its home and is available, here on eBay for a current bid of $5,200 with 36 bids tendered so far. It seems that trucks from this era, as popular as they now are, rarely lead a pampered garaged life and this Ford appears to be no exception. A $60K boulevard cruiser that’s never done a lick of work? No way! This 1979 Ford F-150 is a Texas truck and it looks like it’s been worked hard and put away wet in the hot Waco sun.
