Vehicle Description
A lifted 1978 Ford F-250 Custom 4X4 is already an impressive
vintage pickup to take you beyond where the pavement ends. But when
this exceptionally low mileage truck has also received amazing
paint, a comfy A/C interior, and a 500+ horsepower big block, you
know this one never has to leave Main Street to be impressive.
Upscale doesn't just describe the lift on this truck, but also its
total presentation. It starts with a professional respray of the
bright blue metallic paint. It has such a terrific presence under
our showroom lights, so just imagine how much you'll love it in the
weekend sunshine. And that pristine white strip in the body line
creates a terrific two-tone. Complementing the paint is all the
brightwork. You can tell there was a solid investment getting the
bumpers, grille, and all the intricate premium trim to have a
mirror-like presence. But this is no trailer queen... it hauls the
trailers. This F-250 is ready for work with the liner paint in the
longer bed, trailer hitch, trailer mirrors, and those Mickey
Thompson 17-inch beadlock wheels on the tall 4x4 suspension.
Open the door, and you'll see some obvious signs of an investment
in keeping this truck comfortable. The bench seat looks new, and it
has been covered in an exterior-matching blue for a thoughtful
touch. The same goes for the door panels and the dash for a
terrific coordinating total package. You've got a ton of great
factory features like the AM/FM stereo and classic steering wheel.
And there are all the right upgrades, too, like the AutoMeter Sport
Comp tach that goes so well with the stick shift. Best of all,
there's factory air conditioning to keep you cool in all
situations. But even with this, we know you really will just love
opening up the side vent windows and sliding the rear glass so the
breeze can flow through the cab. Plus, the open windows also really
let you hear this pickup roar.
Whether you want this for work or play (or both), you'll love that
the full drivetrain was part of the restoration project. Not only
does that mean all the shiny components look great in the painted
engine bay (let's face it, you're going to want to show off every
inch of this pickup), but also there's been component upgrades for
added performance and reliability. The big 460 cubic-inch V8 has
performance goodies like a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock
intake, MSD ignition, and headers. The full package produces over
500 horsepower, and we have the dyno sheet to prove it! So it
reliably fires right up like a good pickup should, but it also has
an intimidating rumble that's second to none. And you'll love
having full control over it all with the four-speed manual
transmission. And the investment in this Ford goes well beyond the
motor. Take some time with the undercarriage photos. Not only do
they show you how clean this total build is, but also you'll spot
terrific upgrades like the dual shocks up front and the polished
four-link rear. Plus, with the two-speed transfer case, Super
Swamper tires, and a Dana 60 rear end, this is the classic 4x4 that
never runs out of ability. And the power steering and front disc
brakes are always welcomed no matter if you are on the street or
trail.
Complete with build receipts, restoration photos, and owner's
manual, this is the 4x4 with all the right upgrades to be a great
all-around driver as well as a useful pickup. This complete build
is like your best friend who's ready and able for whatever
adventure you want to go on today. So don't miss out, call
now!!!
