The Pick Up Ford that was reconditioned and was new

It ran the 80s and Ford presented the then new line of its Full Size pick up, the Serie F. One of the most important novelties beyond aesthetic changes was the arrival of the F-150which joined the range formed by F-100 y F-250.

It is precisely one Ford F-150 of 1987 which we show you this time, thanks to Braian Biason, from CDF Garage. Like other cars and trucks that passed through its workshop, the Ford is in a 100 % original state. The truck was done A reconditioning work that included replacement of all the burle and repair and chrome of the front bumper. No panel (only the tires) was repainted and we assume that it is the original paint that it brought from the factory, in this case in two tones as it came at the time.

The F-150 was differentiated from the F-100 traditionally traditionally by the load capacity, which amounted to 1,000 kg or a ton. In addition, this line was equipped with the engine V8 of 292 inches, that is, almost 4.8 liters. The power that Ford declared at that time was 160 HP SAEwhile the box was three -speed manual with lever behind the wheel.

Another detail that attracts the attention of this pick up is the interior, which does not have any wear and the upholstery are impeccable. The bluish tone matches the color of the body of this unit in particular, and in terms of the equipment it offers we can only mention the presence of radio. There were imported versions of the F-150s that arrived as Ranger in the late 70s, in that case equipped with air conditioning and hydraulic direction, things that the National F-100 on offered.

Brief History of Ford F series in Argentina

Ford Full Size Pick Up is a true icon for the automotive industry and today it has the best -selling pick up in the world. In Argentina he began his industrial career in the Decade of 50 and over the years had different evolutions, either in terms of design, equipment and mechanics.

One of the most important was that of 1981, when he introduced version F-150 as we mentioned at the beginning of this note. At the end of that decade, Ford’s pick -up premiered the 4 × 4 version, a novelty for the time.

The latest version of the truck that was manufactured in the country was the eighth generation, which began its production in 1988. The design was similar to that of the variant marketed in the United States, with straight lines that gave him solidity but at the same time transmitted some elegance and hierarchy against the previous editions.

In addition, although the Ford F-100 was always considered a true work tool, this generation already showed some evolution with details that added comfort and followed the fashion imposed by the Americans.

That is why the most equipped versions of the F-100 (XLT) already incorporated an endowment that until then was unthinkable in a Full Size pick up. In this sense, the presence of Lifts and electric mirrors, air conditioning, hydraulic direction and an audio equipment with good sound.

In this way, the F-100 not only demonstrated solidity and reliability in the field with a praiseful performance and great robustness of suspensions, but also offered (in some of its alternatives) greater comfort and equipment for all their occupantssomething that maintained in the subsequent generations that arrived from Brazil.

Thus, with this series the Ford F-100 said goodbye to the Pacheco Industrial Center but at the same time showed that it still had a lot of way to go. Likewise, Already with the transfer of its production to the neighboring country, the F-100 lost land and prominence in our country, until in 2011 it stopped marketing in Argentinaleaving our market without full of Ford, at least until the return of the F-150 that would arrive just 9 years later from the United States.
