Vehicle Description
This 1979 Ford F250 Camper Special is a very special and very cool
truck. It is also a Ranger and XLT. This is a very very clean
original truck and it is a real Camper Special. (Last Owner Badged
as an F350, but is a F26 truck which is the F250). This truck spent
its entire life out West in California and then Washington. It is
obvious this truck has been extremely well cared for and we believe
it has original paint that looks great (we found no evidence of any
paintwork). The body is really straight and we found no rust or
evidence of any rust repair. The underside is incredibly clean and
still shows the original primer on the underside of the body. The
bed of the truck is also original and excellent and the moldings
are all in great shape as well. Based on all of these things we are
pretty confident the miles are original. The interior is also in
very very nice clean condition and original. It has the XLT door
panels, original dash in great shape, original steering wheel and
the carpet and seat look original as well and are in amazing
condition for the age. It does have an aftermarket radio and
speakers.
This truck originally came with a 400 V8, but that engine was
swapped with a 460 V8 to have more power than the 400. It was a
Crate engine and it was installed in 1996 in California. It was
installed correctly to be California Emissions compliant and has
the sticker which you can see in the pictures. The 460 V8 is pretty
stock and runs amazing with great power. It has an aluminum intake
and Edelbrock Carb with 3 Inch Dual Exhaust. The transmission is
the C6 Automatic with the NP205 Transfer Case. It shifts smooth. It
has a DANA 60 Rear Axle and DANA 44 front axle and they both have
4.10 gears. This truck does have a 4 Inch Lift Kit with 35 Inch
tires and Fuely Rims and it gives this truck the perfect
stance.
This truck is a pleasure to drive. It drove down the road so nice
and everything was tight. All of the lights, blinkers, wipers,
gauges, and horn are working and this truck is ready to hit the
road! We hand pick each vehicle, drive it, inspect it, and make
sure it is ready for you to enjoy! We drive what we sell so that we
can give you a first hand and accurate report on how the vehicle
runs and drives.
