SuperCab 4x2 6.75-foot Styleside box, 139-inch wheelbase · 7.5-liter V8

1978 Ford F-150 Custom SuperCab 4x2 6.75-foot Styleside box — 7.5-liter V8

Ford's 1978 Pickups brochure lists this F-150 SuperCab 4x2 6.75-foot Styleside box, the Custom trim, and the 7.5-liter V8. Its two-wheel-drive equipment table documents manual and Cruise-O-Matic transmission categories for the F-150 range. Because the factory tables do not cross-tab individual gearboxes to every engine and chassis, this page preserves the verified transmission category without inventing a specific gearbox pairing.
