The decals appear to be available aftermarket, so with a bit of paint ....
I suppose yours could be worth something if it were in mint shape and was actually one of the original support trucks, but I doubt it is, you'd have to verify it with Ford or the Indy people to know for sure.

Project Bronco is a site that specializes in the 78-79 platform. I've used the site extensively during my research on my 1978 Bronco restore (planned project -- picking up the bronco with 78K original miles on it in a couple of weeks).

It was just an F150 ranger with a trim package, no special performance options etc. They were really kind of ugly and not a very hot seller.

I know I just was curious to see what it looked like because I had the Mustang Indy Pace Car from that same year.I wanted to see if the paint schemes or anything else looked similar. The Mustang was nothing great either.It was slow and ugly.

A lot of the 79 F150's were actual support trucks used at Indy. This can be verified with a History 999 from Ford. They were discussed on ProjectBronco.com and FullSizeBronco.com They apparently came with either a 460 or a 302. The 460 being the most common engine. When they were sold at the dealer, they came with the "Indy Pace Truck" decal for the door not installed. It was up to the purchaser to install them or not.
I own four 78/79 Broncos and a 78 F250 SuperCab so if you have any other questions, let me know.
