Ford F-150 406 V8 1982

General description : LIFELONG GA TRUCK, AL MOODY BUILT 406 V8, AOD TRANS, A/C, PS/PB, SWB, CAMPER!!

Growing up in the '80s, trucks this this 1982 Ford F150 extended cab were common, but not many folks took care of them. Today, finding a nice one is a pleasant surprise, particularly with a pro-built 406 inch stroker motor under the hood, which makes this pickup feel more like a Mustang with a big trunk than an industrial-strength hauler.
If you had serious work to do, you bought a long bed and maybe a bigger truck, meaning that this F150 has led a nice life as a daily driver and hobby vehicle. As a result, it's in above-average condition for its age and still offers a lot of virtues for not a lot of cash. The 25-year-old repaint still shines up nicely and as a regular cab/long bed model, it has pleasing proportions that give it a can-do attitude. It doesn't appear to have lived anyplace where snow and salt are common, so the finish is pretty close to how it must have looked when it was new and the color-coordinated cap gives it a finished look. The bed is protected by a drop-in bed liner so you can still take it to Home Depot on weekends and bring home the big stuff. The front end is as familiar as your own mother's face given the longevity of these trucks, and the chrome on the grille and front bumper is in excellent shape. Out back, there's a heavy-duty step bumper and an industrial-strength hitch, so you can still put it to work.
There's more evidence of this truck's easy life inside, where you'll find a comfortable tan vinyl interior that's more luxury than working class. The upholstery was replaced not too long ago and is in very good condition, typical of the era's durable materials and it isn't as dated as you'd think for the mid-80s. The gauges are legible and clear, the door panels are in nice shape with only a light depression where the driver's elbow might have rested, and factory A/C is a welcome addition. Underneath those heavy-duty mats, the factory rubber floor covering is holding up well and the rear bench, which is probably original, is big enough for three in a pinch. Auxiliary gauges under the dash keep an eye on the upgraded engine and the factory AM/FM/cassette stereo head unit still sounds decent.
Best of all, there's a big horsepower upgrade under the hood. With ties to the original 351, it's a 406 cubic inch stroker built by Al Moody Racing, ideal for pulling trailers and generally having a good time. Honestly, everything that was great about the engine survives in this pickup 100% intact, only at a much higher level. It's torquey, smooth, and makes great V8 sounds from the twin tailpipes that follow the original path. It's also bulletproof reliable, thanks to an Eagle stroker kit that includes billet H-beam rods and forged pistons, as well as a Comp Cams camshaft and Crane roller rockers. Up top there's a big Holley carb and aluminum intake, all lit up by an MSD ignition system. Backed by an AOD 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission, it's punchy around town and just loafs along at highway speeds. The engine bay is orderly with signs of regular care, while the chassis is quite original and has nothing to hide, although it isn't shiny perfect anymore. And despite being a pickup, the ride is remarkably comfortable. Sporty factory steel wheels with trim rings add some flash and wear fat 255/70/15 Goodyear radials at all four corners.
With handsome good looks, plenty of practicality, and a big V8 that's more than capable, this F150 offers a very inexpensive opportunity for lots of fun. Call today!
