Vehicle Description
If you love classic trucks, then this 1978 Ford F-250 4x4 Camper
Special will get you excited. It has a ton of terrific vintage
details to keep it a cool survivor-style machine. But they also
made the right worthwhile upgrades to keep it a great
driver/worker. After all, isn't that what owning a vintage HD 4x4
is all about?
Looking at the door tag, you'll see this truck is wearing correct
light blue paint. In fact, this is a single-stage application that
looks to be factory original. It has earned its age with pride, but
there's also a glossiness and completeness. So the total impression
is quite awesome on an F-250. It also helps that this is a premium
XLT Ranger. So you get the full-length side trim that helps show
off the strangest of this truck's long body. And while you'll love
the vintage presentation, we also know this one is attractive for
its ability. The F-250 came standard with the longer wheelbase and
larger bed, so when it's time to get to work, this truck is up for
doing more. Wide tow mirrors, a proper tow hitch with wiring plug,
upgraded 8-lug wheels, and the beefier component of the Camper
Special give this one an undeniable workman appeal.
The Ranger XLT also means a premium interior. They took the time to
give you all the right vintage elements here, and at the same time,
there are upgrades that make this truck easier for everyday life.
For example, you get plenty of the classic wood-like trim, but
there's also a later model Ford bench seat. It gives you better
bolstering and a comfy cloth upholstery, and best of all, there's a
fold-down center armrest for a more individualized comfort. There
are more nice factory features, like cruise control, a sliding rear
window, and factory air conditioning (will need a servicing/belt
before blowing cold again.) These are joined by handy modern
conveniences like cup holders and an AM/FM/CD stereo. Plus, the
addition of a tach and temperature gauge are great for when this
pickup is getting down to work.
We've already hinted that this Ford was built to take on the big
jobs, and now look under the hood for more proof. That's the big
blue oval's 400 cubic-inch V8. This motor is believed to be
original to the truck, and you'll love showing off all the
original-style details (especially the under-hood tool box!) This
also has the right upgrades, like a newer radiator and a
four-barrel carburetor. It keeps this pickup running strong for the
long haul. You even have dual fuel tanks! The stout C6 three-speed
automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes with discs
up front make for a great anytime driver. And the two-speed 4x4
transfer case means this Camper Special can get deep into nature,
too.
This is the outstanding vintage 4x4 that has more ability than even
some brand new pickups. So if you love a terrific classic truck,
you know you don't want to let this one slip away. Call now!
