This Ford F-Series 1973-1979 got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1979 Ford F-150 is finished in Light Sand over Sand vinyl upholstery and is powered by a 351ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Additional equipment includes a rear step bumper, a tow ball, a receiver hitch, 15″ steel wheels, power steering, a sliding rear window, a cabin heater, and an aftermarket AM/FM/cassette stereo. The truck was acquired in April 2022 by the selling dealer, who reports purchasing it from the estate of its original owner. Subsequent work is said to have included rebuilding the carburetor and radiator, replacing the tires, and cleaning the fuel system. This F-150 pickup is now offered at no reserve with a Deluxe Marti Report and a clean Colorado title.
