Bidding is ending soon for this clean, survivor-grade 1979 Ford F100 pickup, which does appear to be quite the time capsule (the seller’s words, not mine.) The listing shows long-wheelbase 2WD model featuring the 302 V8 paired to a C6 automatic transmission. With bidding already approaching $6K and just under a day left, there’s doubt the market for good trucks remains strong. Find the Ford here on eBay and located in Oklahoma. 

The seller says the F100 was stored for ten years and recently came out of hibernation looking no worse for the wear. He notes the truck shows no leaks, and other than some routine maintenance, it needed very little coaxing to fire up. Paintwork looks quite nice with crisp letting on the tailgate and good chrome around the front grill and down the sides. The tool box may indicate a prior life as a work truck or handyman’s vehicle.

The interior is shockingly nice for an unrestored truck. The bench seat doesn’t quite match the door panels, which makes me wonder if it’s been replaced. The wood inlays in the dash look presentable, and the passenger door panel is holding up well. The seller notes the driver’s door panel does need replacing, and it’s hard to tell what caused it to get torn up. The seller did add new heater hoses, cap and rotor, fuel lines, spark plugs, and a battery.

This Ford F100 presents as a straight, no-BS truck that will be easy to live with. If you’re looking for other Ford truck projects, the large Georgia collection we’ve featured as a Barn Finds Exclusive includes this handsome fellas, a Ford Ranchero GT and a Ford F100 with the clever I-Beam suspension. Drop me a line if any of these truck projects speak to you like this clean F100 on eBay speaks to me.
