A true vintage pickup that also still has the big V8 and 4x4
ability to get the job done, and it's all at an ultra-affordable
price?! Yes, this 1979 Ford F-250 Ranger is truly an irresistible
truck that can give you everything you want, and turn more heads
for far less than the price of a new 4x4.
The F-250 is about delivering extra work ability. So that spirit
has always been kept in mind with features like the tow hitch, long
bed with liner paint, and a lifted 4x4 suspension. Plus, the
upgrade to the polished 16-inch wheels allows for better tires for
utility, and at the same time, it complements the shine of chrome
front bumper and the added brightwork that comes on a premium
Ranger-level pickup. The factory-correct Candyapple Red now also
has tan added for a nice two tone sophistication to impress those
you pass on the streets. But this is no trailer queen, so nothing
on this truck is too pristine to make you nervous about getting
down to real 4x4 fun and usefulness.
The interior is a nice place to spend some time. There are newer
investments in fundamentals like the carpeting and cloth seat. This
is joined by well-done door panels, headliner, and dash pad for a
comfortable and vintage atmosphere. There are some good comfort
features, like AM/FM/cassette radio and cruise control. The was
even originally an A/C truck (you'll need components and servicing
to return the function.) But your favorite feature in a pickup like
this is going to be just opening up the side vent windows and
sliding the rear glass to get the right old-school breezes flowing
through the truck. In fact, you get the full vintage experience
with the classic Ford steering wheel, factory gauges, and the right
added readouts (including tach.) And nothing quite beats the
feeling of resting your hand on a Hurst T-bar shifter.
Whether you want this for work or play, you'll love the V8 under
the hood. The 390 cubic-inch unit is already a terrific Ford
powerhouse, and this one takes it a step further with upgrades like
an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and dual port intake manifold.
So it's a V8 that runs with added gusto and has added authority
from the dual exhaust. Plus, there's a four-speed manual
transmission to give you complete control no matter if you want
low-end climbing torque or highway passing power. And this
versatility is exactly how you should view this classic. The
two-speed 4x4 transfer case, four-inch lift, and General Grabber
tires are great for off-road work. But this also has a solid
feeling on the road that lets you take everyday speeds with
confidence. And features like power steering, power brakes, and
front discs are welcomed in all conditions.
It's amazing this much utility and style is available for such an
affordable price. So you know you can't let this one slip away.
