This is a fully loaded,
99.9% RUSTFREE 1978 F250 3/4ton 4x4, with
the premium "Ranger" trim package, and heavy duty "Camper Special"
package. The Ranger package gave you the pretty stuff, and Camper
Special package gave you the heavy duty stuff, as well as extra coolers, the
big "Desert Cooler" radiator, and a rear anti-sway bar. This 4x4 was
built in California and has spent it's entire life out there. This
truck features the original 400 engine and a C6 automatic. It also A/C, PS, PDB, Cruise, etc. The interior is
clean, but showing normal ware, and hasn't been cut up It also has the
rare, and working factory AM/FM stereo. The suspension is tight.
The dual exhaust needs new tailpipes. The 4x4 system works fine.
It also has nice stock size radial
tires. The body
is straight for it's age. Even the bed floor is nice. This truck
isn't a beat abused ranch truck. The paint looks nice, but is by no
means perfect. I has some nicks, scratches, dings, and touch ups, but
has a good first appearance. The only real body damage is left rear
behind the tire got damaged from a tire blow-out. The only sign of
rust on the truck is the passengers floor under the factory rubber mat; is
has some scale and pinholes from the jute padding getting wet and holding
moisture. I hat to say this but 90% plus of the 70's Ford trucks get
this. A new factory fit floor pan runs $30, and goes in real nice.
Also, you might notice the FORD letters are missing on the hood, they are on
now.
All these old 4x4's are
getting tougher for me to find. I'm just not finding them in good
shape like I used to. If your wanting one, I wouldn't keep waiting.
Enjoy the pics.
