Today’s Truck Thursday is brought to you by the word RED, as in “how much red can you handle on one truck”? Take a look at this ad below the jump and see if you can answer the question.
From the ad:
This is one of a kind 1980 F150 you may find for sale, it’s in excellent both mechanical and cosmetic condition,
runs and drives excellent! Odometer reads 56,235 miles.
Don’t miss it!
What we have here is a 1980 Ford F-150 Custom, which was the base model F-Series truck. As you might know, the F-Series was completely redesigned and improved for the 1980 model year, sharing nothing with the previous generation. The 1980 and 1981 models have the FORD logo on the leading of the hood, which is one way of dating this truck. The Custom trim level tells us that this is a basic truck, with a rubber floor mat, crank windows, and most likely the classic 300-cubic inch straight-6 under the hood.This particular truck has the 8-foot bed and an extended cab, make this big red rig both useful and comfortable.
I’d be curious to see under that seat cover, but otherwise, the interior is in really good shape for 33 years old. The trash pouches are a nice touch.
This truck looks like it’s ready to load up your family of four, all of your camping and fishing gear, and hit the highway for a weekend getaway. With a mile of running boards at your feet, you’ll have no trouble loading people or their stuff! If the odometer is correct, you could get years of use and enjoyment out of this truck.
So, how much red can you handle? For just $2,500, I think I could tolerate it just fine. How about you?
