If you are in the market for one of these trucks keep looking. There are better deals out there.. Would like to see pics of interior and under hood for a total assessment.. The original wheels are a big plus as they are very pricey...

I think a 440 was available in the 1978 Midnite Express trucks, but I might have just been dreamin'
Midnite Express trucks weren't factory built were they? Did the dealers put them together?
A 440 option was available in mid 70's pickups with the 6100 GVW pkg only....this I do know

I am not to familar with these trucks in 1978 did they make any with a 440 and if so how may I was told they are rare and only 7 were made.
Thanks for any info
There are 5 known vins of Canadian 440 express trucks D code trucks. I know of 2 . 1 showed up on Kijiji a few years back Heavily modified and apart. Ownwer wanted 40K for it. ..had it been restored or a virgin original, I would have bought it.
The other 1 belongs to a friend of very credible member here. He has seen and verified it as real.
Proof is in the pudding. I doubt they made any 440 Canadian versions. More likely, a 440 was an easy swap or the truck was doped up to be an LRE when it really wasnt. But like I said get some details, post the vin ect so when can all discuss. However, my 2cents is they don't exist as he LRE crowd is pretty savvy.

Well one thing is true.....back in the 60's - 70's you could custom order up some wild combo's if you wanted to pay the price.....my cousin ordered a late 60's or early 70's f-100 or 150.....don't quite remember which or what year....with a 427 and car 4-speed and shifter....the only reason I know this to be fact is I picked it up from the dealer for him.....so who knows He was a sale manager at Wilmington Ford in Mass.
