1980 Ford F-Series Trucks Specs
Whereas the sixth-generation F-150 has the distinction of taking Ford to the top of pickup truck sales, the redesigned seventh-generation trucks are credited for keeping the Blue Oval in the number one position.
Helping to maintain this status was Ford’s effort to improve fuel economy, and to that end the seventh-generation trucks were actually a bit shorter, narrower, lower, and as a result, lighter than previous models despite having the same wheelbase, interior room and cargo capacity.
Utilizing numerous visual and mechanical enhancements, the seventh-generation F-Series enjoyed a higher level of refinement than its competitors, allowing the venerable pickup to wear many different shoes. In fact, some might say the «mainstreaming» of the pickup truck from a work vehicle to an all-around family vehicle began with the seventh-generation Ford F-Series.
Low Mileage 1980 Ford F350 Video
Here is a video of a very original 1980 F350 Ranger with 86,000 original, documented miles. The video is made by the second owner and is pretty detailed:
What’s New For 1980
The debut of the seventh-generation F-Series for the 1980 model carried the redesigns of the 1978 and 1979 trucks to the next logical step. Sharper edges were Ford’s answer to streamlining their pickups, notably in the new square grille with prominent horizontal and vertical bars, complimented by sharper lines on the hood, cab and bed. Those same sharper lines were also found inside, where a new dash design utilized updated gauges that retained the previous-generation feel with a more modern look.
The hood release was relocated inside the cab, the lock cylinder was relocated to the steering column, and better sound deadening (through sound insulation and a double-panel roof) gave the F-Series a more refined, user-friendly interior.
The large single-pane rear side glass on SuperCab models became two smaller, vertical panes per side, smaller body side trim on up-level models contributed to the smoother, squared-off look, and the Ford lettering remained on the hood and tailgate, similar to the previous generation but a bit more prominent. For 1980, Ford started using plastic inner front fender panels as another measure to reduce weight and improve fuel economy.
1980 was also the debut of Ford’s Twin-Traction Beam independent front suspension on four-wheel drive models, offering superior off-road flexibility without sacrificing the durability of a solid axle. Ford logged over a million miles at Ford’s Arizona Proving Ground when testing the new ’80 F-Series.
1980 F-Series Model Lineup
The F-100 soldiered on as the entry-level, full-size truck, available with a Flareside or Styleside bed. Regular Cab, SuperCab, and Crew Cab models were available. Custom remained the base trim level with virtually no options and vinyl floors.
The Ranger, Ranger XLT, and Ranger Lariat trims offered a wide variety of visual and equipment upgrades that ranged from chrome and faux wood trim, full interior carpeting with floor mats, special exterior trim and badging, deluxe wheels, AM/FM stereo with 8-track, and power windows/locks. The popular Freewheeling Appearance Package of the previous-generation also returned for 1980.
1980 F-Series Powertrains
1980 marks the point where manufacturers began referring to engine displacement in terms of liters instead of cubic inches (cid). The 4.9 liter (300 cid) inline six-cylinder served as the base F-Series engine for all models, making 120 horsepower. The optional 5.0 liter (302 cid) made 133 horsepower, while the 5.8 liter (351 cid) produced 136 horsepower.
F-350 trucks offered the high-torque 136-horsepower 6.6 liter (400 cid) engine as an option; the 7.5 liter (460 cid) engine was eliminated from the F-Series lineup though it would return in 1983. Three-on-the-tree and four-speed manual transmissions were entry-level, with a three-speed automatic optional across the lineup. All trucks were available in either two-wheel or four-wheel drive.
Ford F-Series Pickup Trucks, 1980 — 1986
Dale Wickell is an automotive expert who has worked in the industry for more than four decades. He currently works for LeMay — America’s Car Museum.
Ford F-Series trucks built between 1980 and 1986 were the result of significant aerodynamic testing. Here’s a rundown of changes that occurred:
1980 Ford F-Series Truck Updates
At first glance, you might think the redesigned 1980 F-Series looks a lot like trucks from the previous generation, but examine the pickups more closely and you’ll see that they are shorter and narrower, with a lower stance.
As gas prices continued to escalate, manufacturers put more thought into fuel economy improvements. Wind tunnel testing helped Ford determine where rounded lines and altered panel fit would reduce wind drag. To cut down on weight, plastics, aluminum, and lighter gauge steel was used to replace conventional steel in areas where strength was not needed.
Using plastic for the trucks’ front inner fender panels added to the overall weight reduction, and also eliminated an area prone to rust. Ford tackled another rust-prone area by redesigning cab and bed areas to minimize spots where dirt and mud could accumulate.
Ford moved the F-Series ignition switch to the steering column and incorporated a steering lock into the assembly. The hood release was moved inside the truck for security. New sound insulation and a double panel roof helped reduce interior noise levels.
In 1980, radial tires became standard on 2-wheel drive F-Series trucks. The 400 and 460 cu.in. engines were removed from the line-up, leaving the 300 cu.in. 6-cylinder and 302 and 351 cu.in. V-8s.
1981 Updates
In 1981, Ford made changes that focused on better fuel mileage by offering:
- A 4-speed overdrive manual transmission on F-150 4X4s
- A 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission on 2-wheel drive models equipped with the 5.0L V-8
- A 4.2 liter V-8 for 2-wheel drive F-100s (only offered in 1981 and 1982)
Other updates to 1981 F-Series trucks included halogen headlamps as standard equipment on all models and standard radial tires on 4-wheel drive pickups. Buyers could also outfit their truck with optional power door locks and power windows.
1982 Updates
The only major change to 1982 F-Series was the introduction of a 3.8L V-6 engine. It came standard with a 3-speed manual transmission, but a 3-speed automatic and 4-speed automatic overdrive were available options.
Ford stopped using the name Ranger to describe an F-Series trim level, reserving it for a new line of small trucks.
1983 Updates
Only one significant change was made to F-Series trucks in 1983 — Ford dropped the 4.2L V-8. Minor changes were made to trim, paint colors and option packages.
1984 Updates
After thirty years, Ford eliminated the F-100 designation from its line of F-Series trucks, replacing it with F-150.
The 5.8L V-8 was upgraded to a «High Output» engine with a 4 barrel carburetor, new camshaft, larger air cleaner, and low restriction dual exhaust system. The result was a jump from 163 hp and 267 lb.ft. torque to 210 hp and 304 lb.ft. of torque.
- Ford equipped the 4.9L 6-cylinder, 5.0L V-8, and the base 5.8L V-8 engines with EEC-IV electronic engine control.
- The 3.8L V-6 engine was dropped from the F-Series lineup.
This year, Ford began to use pre-coated steel and additional galvanized panels to help fight rust and corrosion.
New clutch safety switch kept the engine from cranking unless the clutch pedal was fully depressed. The F-Series key-in-ignition warning buzzer became standard equipment.
1985 Updates
Fuel injection was added to the 5.0L V-8 engine this year. Other changes were minor and focused on cosmetics.
1986 Updates
Ford made just a few changes in the final year of the seventh generation F-Series. Newly designed front disc brakes became standard, and a new seam sealer and electro-coat primer aided in corrosion protection.
Several former options became standard equipment in 1986.
