SuperCab 4x2 8-foot Styleside box, 155-inch wheelbase · 5.0-liter V8

1979 Ford F-150 Ranger SuperCab 4x2 8-foot Styleside box — 5.0-liter V8

Ford's 1979 Pickups brochure lists this F-150 SuperCab 4x2 8-foot Styleside box, the Ranger trim, and the 5.0-liter V8. Its two-wheel-drive equipment matrix documents both manual and SelectShift automatic transmission choices for the F-150 range. Because Ford does not cross-tab each individual gearbox to every engine and chassis, this page preserves the verified transmission category without inventing a specific gearbox pairing. Four-wheel-drive combinations are withheld until an equivalent factory ordering matrix is available.
