1978 Ford F-250 Ranger Description
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS OLD CLASSIC ORIGINAL 1978 FORD F-250 RANGER SUPER CAB 4x4. THIS TRUCK IS STILL FEATURING THE ORIGINAL STEEL. WE PURCHASED THE TRUCK WITH THE ORIGINAL PAINT STILL ON IT. WHEN WE REPAINTED IT THE FACTORY COLORS WE DID NOT FIX ANY BODY DINGS. THIS WAY YOU GET THE ORIGINAL BODY AND STEEL, NO BODY FILLER AT ALL. THIS ALSO SHOWS YOU HOW WELL THE BODY WAS TAKEN CARE OF.... THIS IS AN ORIGINAL UNDER 100k MILE TRUCK. THE 96801 MILES ARE ORIGINAL. PLEASE LOOK OVER ALL THE PICTURES AND YOU WILL ALSO SEE THE ORIGINAL PAPERS SOLD WITH THE TRUCK NEW INCLUDING THE PROTECTOR PLATE...BELOW IS A LITTLE DOCUMENTED HISTORY..
THE TRUCK WAS BUILT IN KANSAS CITY JUNE 1978. FROM THERE IT TRAVELED BY RAIL TO LOCKWOOD FORD ON OAK AVE. IN ROSEBURG OREGON. FROM THERE IS SOLD TO A RESIDENT OF MEDFORD OREGON ON JULY 15th 1978. IT SPENT ALL IT'S YEARS THERE AND WELL CARE FOR BEFORE WE PURCHASED IT.
THE ORIGINAL BUILD SHEET IS SHOWN IN THE PICTURE SLIDESHOW. IT DOES LIST ALL ITS OPTIONS EXCEPT THE LIFT TIRES AND WHEELS. THE PAINT IS BEAUTIFUL. ONE COULD SEE WHY THIS COMBO IS IN SUCH DESIRE.. PLEASE SEE PICTURES.
THE INTERIOR IS ALL THERE AND ORIGINAL EXCEPT THE NEW CARPET AND SEAT COVER WE ADDED. THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT COULD BE REUPHOLSTERED. THE LARIAT COMBO WOULD TRIM IT OFF FOR SURE.. AGAIN SEE PICTURES AS THEY WILL DO MOST OF THE TALKING.
THE MOTOR IS VERY STRONG AND ALWAYS HAD OIL CHANGES WEATHER NEEDED OR NOT. EVERY THREE MONTHS. IT DOES RUN OUT GREAT. IN FACT WE DROVE THIS TRUCK ALMOST 730 MILES THE DAY WE BOUGHT IT. HAD ONLY REPLACED A FUEL PUMP..DRIVES LIKE A DOLL..!
THE TRUCK IS SITTING ON GOOD 35" TOYO MT TIRES AND CUSTOM WHEELS. ALSO A 4" LIFT KIT THAT GIVES THE TRUCK A VERY NICE STANCE. THE FRONT END IS THE SECOND BEST OUT THERE WITH THE HIGH PINION DANA HD DISC 44 FRONT AND DANA 60 REAR END. POWER STEERING POWER BRAKES. STEERING IS TIGHT AND TURNS WITH ONE FINGER. ALSO A 4 SPEED TRANSMISSION WITH GOOD CLUTCH. BACKED BY A NP205 TRANSFER CASE THAT ALSO WORKS SMOOTH, AND YES WE HAVE USED IT AS THERE WAS A BIT OF SNOW HERE. 60mph IN 4h WORKED GREAT.
WE DO HAVE IT LISTED LOCAL ALSO SO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS.
