1979 Ford Pickup Brochure Page 19 - F-100/F-150 Options, Wheels & Tu-Tone Paint
Sales brochure page detailing pickup truck options, wheel and wheel-cover choices and Tu-Tone two-tone paint schemes.
This is a page from a vintage Ford pickup sales brochure listing optional equipment for Ford F-Series trucks (F-100 and F-150 are named). Options are organized by category: comfort/convenience items (tilt steering wheel, fingertip speed control, sliding tinted rear window, tool stowage box, slide-out spare tire carrier), seat upholstery choices (breathable knitted vinyl, chain mail pattern vinyl, Duraweave polyknit, heavy-duty black vinyl, multistripe cloth for Ranger trims), Performance options (SelectShift Automatic, Handling Package with front stabilizer bar and HD gas-filled shocks, gauges), Protection options (front tow hooks, push bar, fog lamps, dual horns, roof clearance lights, Exterior Protection Group, Security Lock Group, high altitude emission system), bumper choices, and Wheels and Wheel Covers (deluxe wheel covers, 5-slot brushed forged aluminum 15x6, 10-hole polished forged aluminum 15x6, painted styled steel wheels). Lettered callouts (F) through (N) key the text to photographs of wheels and features on the page. The right column explains the four Tu-Tone two-tone paint schemes — Regular, Accent, Deluxe, and Combination Tu-Tone — with side-view illustrations of each on a pickup, plus footnotes restricting some schemes to Styleside models. Free Wheeling Packages are referenced on pages 10-11 and Trailer Towing Packages on page 12.
