1979 Ford F-250 Ranger Lariat 4x4 Description

Ability and style are expertly mixed on this 1979 Ford F-250 Ranger Lariat. After all, it's a sleek metallic two-tone classic loaded with features. And it also has a ton of real truck practicality with its tall 4x4 stance, winch, big bed, serious V8 power, and so much more.

If you're a truck person, we know you already like this one a lot, because you just don't see too many of the serious F-250s from this era anymore. After all, most were purchased for industrial-strength duty and got used up quickly. But this example is the exact opposite. You understand that the moment you see the light reflect off the modern clearcoat paint. This is a distinct silver and green two-tone with a hint of metallic element to really draw added attention. It gives off the kind of shine that shows this classic sheetmetal is straight and crisp. According to the Marti Report, this is the color combo this truck was born in! This is only 1 of 18 made with this paint/trim code. Plus, you get more great original-style touches like the top running lights that came on these heavier duty models like the F-250. And this lifted truck has plenty of shine with the grille, bumpers, premium trim, and upgraded Weld wheels. But this classic is also still a workhorse - after all, it's a long bed F-250! And you get great integrated upgrades, like the Warn winch up front, bright step boards along the sides, bed rails, and roll bar on the back with bright aux lights. You even have a tow hitch with proper wiring plug to bring even more fun with you.

The same two-tone color theme continues inside for a very cool look. We especially like the seat that has a the green and silver intertwined and a comfy button-top cloth insert. As you continue to look around the inside, you'll see the full package nicely mixes classic style with upgrades. There's vintage features, like the classic dash and wood-like premium trim. There are also the modern upgrades you really want, like power windows and air conditioning (needs servicing). And just in case you didn't already get a few monster truck vibes from this custom Ford, Dennis Anderson (of Grave Digger fame) signed the dash!

This truck was born with a 400 cubic-inch V8 according to the Marti Report, so it's great to see it still in the engine bay. It has performance upgrades like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Holley Street Dominator intake. It also has the nice look investment that you want in hard-working truck, including fresh belts, wires, and hoses, as well as dual batteries. This 4x4 has plenty of off-road ability with the two-speed transfer case, tall stance, and Mickey Thompson Baja tires. And the power steering, power brakes w/discs up front, and three-speed automatic transmission are always welcomed no matter if you are on the street or trail.

A sleek and original presentation meets true 4x4 power... this is everything you want in a classic pickup. So a total package like this is sure to be leaving us soon. Don't miss out, call today!
