Cheap, and more than likely an easy fix.

I'd pimp it out...probly needs a new iggy module n lubed in the lock

 

[1973 F-100 4x4]

Too old to have an ignition module.
Probably bad ignition coil, or worn out points.

Either way, still an easy fix!

what about the brain box mounted on the fenderwell...the ones that melt and get all gooey......that's what I was referring to...

Unless the engine was swapped with a newer model, it came with a points ignition.

Which means, no brain box.

Only electronic ignition engines had the brain box, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong; they were not an option until late '74 to early '75.

The '74 F-250 2wd that I am currently driving is all original as far as the ignition system goes, and it has the points ignition.

I just found this one on eBay. The auction says '78 F-150 4x4 but the VIN says '78 F-250 4x2 w/460.

I asked the seller what the deal was and he replied the following:

"yeah, I dont know. I've had that asked before. That's the vin on the vehicle and the title."

Here's the link.

I already asked him that in his last auction.He never did list the VIN error in his ad though so someone will be in for a suprise. He also never bothered to post my question in the ebay auction like he did all the rest,

My 1st email to him:

How come your VIN# is X25 and not X14? X25 is a VIN# for a 2wd supercab. X14 is a VIN# for a 4wd supercab. That is not the correct VIN# for the truck you are listing or someone has swapped the door tags around.

His reply:

couldnt tell you. This is obviously 4wd.

So I sent him this:

Thanks for letting me know it is 4wd. I would of never knew that. Obviously the VIN number you are listing is incorrect for the truck your selling. X25 is a 2 wheel drive 3/4 ton truck VIN number. The VIN number for your 1/2 ton 4 wheel drive truck your selling should start with X14. You may want to post that information in your ad so the unaware buyer is not suprised.

And got back this:

the vin is correct. its right off the title and vechicle

So one more email:

If you look at the topside of the passenger side frame rail close to the firewall you'll find the "correct" VIN number for the truck your selling. Ford stamped the VIN number on the frame. I'll guarantee it does not match the title nor the door tag. I'm telling you again that is not the correct VIN number for the truck your selling. You are going to find that it is going to come back to haunt you when the new owner goes to register it. Do you honestly think that what I'm telling you is false information? I've been around these trucks for over 20 years.

And his last reply:

Thanks for your input but its registered just fine for me and the other owners that previously owned it so facts say your wrong. OH, I've been around trucks for 35 years. What exactly does that prove?

My last respone to him:

You got a nice truck, I'm not doubting that. If you have been around them so long you would know that the VIN number is not right for the truck your selling. Go check your frame rail. I think you'll find the VIN numbers don't match. Good luck with your sale.

 

[UNRULEE]

To nitpick, he also states, "Fairly new siped BF Goodrich 35 in tires". They're not BFG's. They are Goodyear MTR's, I know I have them on the '79.

 

[UNRULEE]

Let me add though, it is a sweet looking truck.

So I just sent him this message:

First off lemme say that you have one sweet Ford. That thing is absolutly beautiful.

I have basically one question though, you say its a Hi-boy, however its a 78. Factory Hi-boys only ran thru mid-year 77. Also obviously its 4x4, and you say its an F-150. Well the vin you listed clearly indicates a F-250 that was 2wd. So when they restored the truck, I have to assume that there is a pre 77.5 hi-boy X14(Supercab 4x4 F-150) vin frame under a 78 2wd F-250 body(hence the X25 vin you listed). I would really be interested to know what the vin number on the top of the passenger side frame rail(just in front of the firewall) begins with. Just to know what year frame I'd be dealing with...

Once again sweet truck, and if you can help me out at all I'd appreciate it!

To which almost instantly he replyed:

That's a good question. Your the second person to ask that and I dont know the anwser. the vin I put in matches the title but I will check the frame rail today and let you know what I find.
Scott



So maybe we shall see what the real truck is. I'm betting on a pre 77.5 Supercab 4x4 frame, with the 78 250 2wd body.

 

[Ranger429]

Yeah, he would of known the answer if he would of looked for the VIN# on the frame rail as I told him. I think he know's exactly what he is selling but doesn't want to give the correct answer. Another question on the VIN and he doesn't post anything about it in his ad or in the Q+A section.

 

[bicyclemonkey]

I think he mentioned in the auction listing that the A/C was added. It would make sense that when the A/C was added the cab was possibly replaced for an A/C model to avoid cutting holes and such. Seems like whatever the case it would be just as simple to let people know what's going on, the auction is already up to 8-Grand already for crying-out-loud!

Title: 1978 Ford Super cab f-150, f-250, f-350 Hi Boy.

I sent this to him:
Howdy from Canada, Something is wrong with your listing.
1)No highboy (non-ford term) in 1978. That only relates to 77.5 model year and earlier
2)no 460 in 4x4's until 1983
3)Title? It contains too many models and the VIN# is wrong.

It appears this truck is being misrepresented for selling on Ebay.
I would suggest coming clean on the actual mongrel makeup of this truck before you get an angry buyer.
If you need some help to determine what is right and what is wrong...Let me know.

Lol, yea I saw that, hence why I was figuring it has a pre 77.5 4x4 hi-boy frame. Don't know if the t-case is divorced though....
