1973 Ford F250 factory "Highboy" 4x4.
The Highboys are some of my most sought after and popular trucks right now.
This is a, rare for the year, Top-of-the-Line "Ranger XLT" trim 4x4.
It features an original paint rustfree body from southern Oregon
It has a nice original patina with some dings and scrapes, but at least you
know exactly what you are getting. I like to call the normal were and
tare "Character" This Ranger XLT has factory A/C. It's missing
the compressor, but is a factory A/C equipped 4x4. It also has the
factory AM/FM Stereo. It has a strong older rebuilt 390
4 bbl, with a nice shifting rebuilt C6 automatic. It has rare factory
wide 8.25" x 16.5 steel wheels with the original bias ply tires. This
4x4 drives tight, but it takes a while for the old style tires to round out.
A nice new set of radials would be nice, but I left the original tires on
just because they were original. It has the big heavy duty
desert cooler radiator, and power brakes. It also has 3 fuel tanks.
It has all good factory heavy duty parts including: the big Spicer hub front
axle, heavy duty rebuilt C6 A/T, New Process 205 transfer case, and a 4.10
Dana 60 limited slip rear. The XLT package, 8.25" steel wheels, A/T,
A/C, and AM/FM were all very rare options in 73. It does have headers
and the drivers side has an exhaust leak. Bottom line this is a nice
original survivor. It's not perfect, but it is a nice example of an
uncut, unabused original Highboy. They aren't getting any easier for
me to find. If you have been waiting for a nice original one to pop
up, this is it.
