I have a 1978 F-150, Value?

Hard to say since it has been so modified.  Might try asking $5,000 for it and see what you get.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add, not a speck of rust. Sanded it down myself before the paint job. I have been told that this is very rare.

i was gonna offer a dollar for it since it's a ford but i'll make it 5 dollars because you've added alot

let's be honest here...it's a 30 year ford...i think a ton of scrap is in the neighborhood of $75.00...what does the truck weigh...

try kelley blue book www.kbb.com

Scrap? You must be a Chevy or Dodge fan to say such a thing about a REAL truck. I also have a 97 Ranger XLT with 202,000 on it with the original engine , does not use oil and I have spent only for tires, brakes (once), never had the clutch replaced and looks like it has maybe 30 grand on it. And it still averages 25.6 miles to the gallon on gas. So don't be giving me crap about Ford trucks.

I would say around 4,000 considering the low miles maybe 5000 if you throw in all the original wheels and parts

wooooooooooooooooooowww   a ford ranger a real truck? LMAO try driving a full size truck...  rangers are just big cars

Now,Now. I know for sure now your a Chevy man. Anyone who knows trucks knows that it is not a real truck unless it has Ford wrote on it. I wasn't talking about the Ranger as the real truck, I was talking about the 78.

anyone who knows anything about any vehicles knows anything with Ford on it.. is scrap.. F.O.R.D = Filthy Old Rolling Dumpster

FORD=Fix Or Repair Daily
FORD=Found On Road Dead
FORD=Fucked-Over Rebuilt Dodge

am i missing any?
I use to know a Dodge one or two, but I only remember the ford ones...  They're shorter and easier to remember, plus I had a Ford that was a P.O.S. And my old mans old F-150 was a P.O.S.

Anyone know any for the other brands while we're here?

I give up! you guys are ganging up on me. Actually the worst vehicle I ever owned was an 82 Toyota pickup. I have never driven a more loud rough riding piece of junk in my life. I hated everything about that truck and couldn't wait to get rid of it. And everyone claims the Japanese can do no wrong. There are good and bad with all brands to be truthful.

To be honest Toyota's reputation is built on a lie.  You gotta remember their reputation was primarily built on the Corollas and Camry's of the 90s, unlike Honda who's reputation is from the 80s...  Many forget though that these cars were design and built in GM facilities...  There is a reason Geo's are so similar to these cars.  Fun thing is you can actually (if you look hard) find a Toyota Cavalier or a Chevy Corolla... Had a buddy in high school who had a Toyota Cavalier.  

As for their trucks...  I'm sorry but they basically stamped what they are on the back of the sport pickups... TRD... atleast they tell you in advance.

And I agree there is something wrong with all the brands, Ford gets the brunt of it because Chevy and Dodge fan boys gang up on 'em more than each other...  I think it's also annoying they claim to be the best selling pickups... Granted I think both Chevy and Dodge would win if they pulled their trick 'The Ford F-series... I.E. all there models of trucks'
Can't even trust the Consumer guides anymore as for reliability.  They base how good a car is on the warranty...granted the reliability of a vehicle is reflected in how much a company is willing to back it, but it's just as easy to not back it just in case.

I dunno the whole industry is a bit screwy in the end...I need a new hobby... My $0.02

Don't feel bad man I am a Dodge man myself but these boneheads in here are just making a bad name for us other Dodge owners by running their mouths.  Save it for the track.  I hate all of Fords new stuff but their old trucks aren't all that bad.  A 78 Ranger is a full-size isn't it if I am not mistaken.

FORD = First On Race Day

I'm not sure what your truck is worth but it's sure worth alot more than what ever a ton of scrap is worth! Why don't you get it appraised?

Oh and by the way, the Chevy trucks DO get lumped in with the GMC trucks when they talk about how good they sell.
GMC = Garage Man's Companion

no, no, no

FORD = Fucked on race day.

Hey, are you all forgetting what the original question was????

This is just turning into a war of makes. I'm sure there are other places to do that!

you gotta remember just b/c you did all that shit to it doesn't mean that its worth a ton but i drive a ford and i know that they arre bad ass so i wanna say maybe 2,500 becuase of the year

Well what I am thinking is that it has only 55000 miles and I am only the second owner and it is mostly original with no rust. Short bed 4x4s rust free for this model are very rare according to what I am told. I am going to the National F100 show in Knoxville,Tn. this week to see if I get any offers. Wish me luck! Also you are right the 78 Ranger is an F150 full size.

Update, went to the show, The judges and several people at the show told me to take no less than $14,000 and it could actually bring up to $20,000 considering it's condition and rarity. Oh yeah we won a class trophy at the show.

i buy it 400$
