Vehicle Description
An awesome tall stance, big V8 power, four-on-the-floor, and the
right upgrades both for flair and to get the job done: that's what
you get with this 1976 Ford F-250 Highboy 4x4.
This vintage extra-duty pickup offers just the right combination of
functionality and flash. The factory dark blue was repainted in
2017. It retains the deep tone worthy of a beefy truck like this,
but now there's a deeper luster that you're going to love. In fact,
all that added shine accentuates the truck's square-jawed lines.
And speaking of the shine, this one really shows off its function
within the bright style. For example, the bumpers have a
mirror-like look that showcases the diamond plating step-style in
the rear. And we know you love the style and ruggedness that comes
from the Mickey Thompson polished 8-lug wheels. The grille looks
great, and the premium Ranger full-length trim highlights the
straightness of the sheetmetal. But while this is a head-turning
total package, it also never loses its true truck practicality. The
long 8-foot bed is protected with liner paint so this can easily
take on the weekend projects in between the car shows.
Inside, this gets the classic truck look right with taut door
panels, a nice dash, factory-style gauges, and the exterior blue
retuning on the door tops and lower dash. But there's also a
freshness everywhere from the carpeting to the headliner that tells
you they made the right investments. In fact, the bench seat has
that classic insignia trim look, but in fact, it was reupholstered
within the last few years in a comfy cloth. They even redid the
springs and foam for ideal comfort. You'll spot a few more nice
upgrades, like the Grant sports steering wheel. But we bet your
favorite feature will be the sliding rear glass. It combines with
the side vent windows to give you that classic old-school breeze
through the cab that only a vintage truck can.
Whether you want this for work or play (or both), you'll love the
extra power this one puts down. It's Ford's strong 360 cubic-inch
V8. This is believed to be the original motor to the truck, so it's
great that they restored it to look stock with the bright blue
block with matching valve covers and air topper. And it presents
nicely with everything tidy, right down to the wires and belts. But
as stock as this looks, it also has some power subtly added. It
inhales deeper with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, and the
headers add power as it exhales with authority from the dual
exhaust. And the four-speed manual transmission means you have
complete control over it all. It earns its Highboy nickname for the
tall 4x4 stance that came directly from the factory on these
extra-tough F-250s. And the undercarriage photos show how fresh
these beefy components look on this restored truck. Plus, there's
the right equipment, like the Warn locking hubs up front and deep
tread on the Mickey Thompson ATZ tires. They also rebuilt the power
steering column within the last few years, and there are power
brakes w/discs up front. So this one is great for the street or the
trails.
The sale comes complete with the build receipts that document the
thousands $$$$ invested to get a great-looking and smooth driving
classic Highboy like this. Don't miss this deal, call today!
