How Can I Customize My 1979 Ford F250 Pickup Truck?
The Ford F-Series is one of the most enduring nameplates in automotive history. The F250 has a three-quarter ton payload capacity. The 1979 model year was the last year of the sixth-generation F-Series and was notable for its recessed square headlights that debuted during the 1978 model year. These trucks are common, and therefore it's easy to locate aftermarket parts for your customization.

Replace the factory radials and rims with off-road tires and off-road specific rims to accentuate the rugged nature of your Ford F250 pickup. Adding a set off-road specific rims, with or without beadlocks, will increase the durability of your rims and add a more muscular look to your truck. A set of large off-road tires will also help your truck's off-road prowess while also giving it a striking stance.

Add a truck visor above your Ford F250's windshield to accentuate the menacing look of this pickup truck while blocking the sun's rays from your line of sight and from damaging your dashboard. Wiring this visor with truck lights can further develop this look.

Replace your stock hood with an elevated height model that features an inverted air scoop style. These hoods accentuate the bold and masculine styling of the pickup truck, as well helping make room for a larger engine.

Drop the factory installed engine that came with your F250 and replace it with a more powerful, modern unit. Trucks and cars from the malaise era did not tap the potential power of the engines that they were equipped with due to federally mandated emissions systems that restricted output. Place a modern Ford engine in the engine bay and you will notice substantial increase in horsepower and torque.
