Classic Car Overview

1978 Ford F-250 Ranger Rebuilt 400 V8 Fresh Transmission Exceptionally Clean Survivor

This 1978 Ford F-250 Ranger is an exceptionally straight and well-preserved example of Fords iconic Dentside pickup. According to the seller, the truck remains largely unmolested, with an exceptionally clean body and an interior described as 9.9/10.

Power comes from a rebuilt 400ci V8, while the transmission has less than 2,000 miles since replacement or rebuild according to the seller. The truck currently runs and drives, although a known compression issue affecting cylinders 7 and 8 will need to be addressed.

For someone looking for a clean, original-style F-250 rather than a heavily modified example, this truck offers an excellent foundation with much of its character intact.
