1979 F250 3/4 ton 4x4 "Ranger"
1979 F250 4x4 with premium Ranger trim. 1979 was the best and last year Ford built real trucks. This tuck has a nice bright look, and is rustfree from Oregon. The body has some battle scars, and some paint flaking off, but it is original and rustfree. It has a strong rebuilt 400 with an Edelbrock 4 bbl, aluminum intake, and an RV cam. The C6 was also rebuilt at the same time and shifts nice and firm. Both have just over 30k on them. The rest of the truck is pretty original. It has 4.10 axles, power steering, power disc brakes, inside locking hood release, bullet proof 205 transfer case, high pinion Dana 44 up front, and a Dana 60 in the rear. It also has dual fuel tanks. Those are the factory Ford tie down hooks on the bed.
The 4x4 runs and drives real nice. The suspension is tight, the brakes stop nice, and it has nice dual exhaust. It has a class III receiver style hitch also. The tires are nice 245x75x16's on factory Ford wheels.
The body has a nice clean bright look. The bed floor has some pretty heavy surface rust in the front of it from standing water and debris, but it is still good and strong. Other than that the truck is nice and rust free. As I said the body has some battle scares, and some of the paint is coming off. The lower drivers rear bed side looks bad, but is just where the paint has flaked off. I am including a pic of the back side of that area to see that there isn't any damage or rust.
The interior is complete. All the gauges work. It has a nice sounding CD radio. I'd hop in and drive this truck anyplace.
I'm struggling to find nice clean 70's F250's. The nicer ones are really starting to dry up and the demand keeps going up.
