Vehicle Description
This 1968 Ford F-250 4x4 has an industrial-grade level of cool.
That means it has the right mix of beefy features and honest truck
style. So if you know a guy everyone calls "Pops" who can take on
everyone in a bar fight, he probably owned this truck.
Ford truck people know what a Highboy means for pickups. It's not a
hot road for the road, but it is a start for the work-ready crowd.
They must be from the heart of the fifth or sixth generation, a
true F-250, and have a divorced transfer case (it required the
higher "Highboy" suspension.) The trim tag tells us all of that is
true! And the full package feels quite genuine. The factory-correct
Harbor Blue has a complete look where you'll find a mix of newer
elements (like the resprayed hood) and older pieces verging on
patina in a few places. It's all part of the stout style you see
everywhere, right down to the 8-lug wheels. This feels authentic
with side tow mirrors, a proper trailer hitch, an upgraded HD rear
bumper, and a work-ready long bed with a toolbox. And not only does
the white front bumper go well with the white grille and white
wheels, but it also nicely integrates a Warn winch.
The exterior blue returns inside on the door panels and dash, and
now it's joined by a tasteful black. This has a ready-to-work
attitude with a durable black bench, rugged rubber floor, classic
Ford steering wheel, and clean dash with proper heat/defrost
controls. It's light, airy, basic, and sturdy - exactly how you
want a truck like this to be.
Under the hood is the 240 cubic-inch inline-six. If you're not a
truck person, you might wonder why there's not a V8 here, but if
you are a truck person, you know this one is already practically
perfect. It's a torque-filled powerhouse with a diesel-level of
nearly indestructible reputation. You're not a speed demon in this
Highboy, but there's a mighty stump-pulling force that is immediate
when you start up in the low first gear, and the four-speed manual
transmission lets you control the full power band. And It earns its
Highboy nickname for the tall 4x4 stance that came directly from
the factory on these extra-tough F-250s.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and a Marti Report.
