Helping all this power get to the ground is a C6 automatic transmission that has extra clutch plates and a shift kit as well as a gear vendors over drive and four-wheel drive. With a combined total of 48 gallons of gasoline and 80 gallons of propane on board this truck is meant for the long hauls. Additional drivetrain modifications include rear suspension overload springs for those heavy loads and the upgrade to rear disc brakes. The cabin features a bench seat that was redone in 1990 and is upholstered in tan cloth along with the original dash and door panels in coordinating colors. Features include cold blowing air conditioning, an AM/FM/Cassette radio, new carpet, and a Midland CB radio. The two-spoke steering wheel with wood accents frames an 85-mph speedometer as well as gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, battery voltage and oil pressure. Big, fun, and very clean, this Ford 4x4 is the truck you always saw on the road after it was too late. Don't miss this chance to get one in the renewed prime of its life.
