Classic Car Overview

1978 Ford F-250 4x4 351M V8 Automatic NP205 Trailer-Ready AS-IS Classic Truck

This 1978 Ford F-250 4x4 is being offered AS-IS, represented honestly and conservatively as a driver-quality classic Ford pickup. The truck runs and drives, but the engine is described as tired, and buyers should review the condition notes carefully.

Power comes from a 351M Ford V8, paired with an automatic transmission and a divorced NP205 transfer case. A prior owner reportedly rebuilt the engine, though no paperwork is available. The oil pan and valve covers were removed for inspection, and it appears the piston rings may not have seated properly. For that reason, the truck is explicitly being sold AS-IS, with no mechanical guarantees expressed or implied.
