This 1978 Ford F-250 Ranger Lariat Supercab 4x4 combines extra-duty capability with extended cab comfort. The metallic orange and white two-tone paint showcases its muscular lines, while the 4-inch lift and 285/75R16 BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires on 16-inch wheels give it a commanding presence. Chrome bumpers, a front grille, and F-250 Ranger Lariat badging add classic truck flair. The bed features a color-matched liner for durability, and tie-down hooks along the sides enhance utility. This square-headlight model stands out with its unique combination of features and style.
Inside, the tan and saddle interior offers a blend of comfort and functionality. New carpeting, dash pad, and upholstery in vinyl and cloth create a fresh, inviting space. The bench seat provides ample room, while the column shifter keeps the floor clear. An AM/FM/AUX stereo with Bluetooth adds modern convenience to the vintage cabin. Original elements like door card inserts, headliner, and steering column maintain authenticity, complemented by the restored dash and trim. Air conditioning, converted to R134a, ensures comfort on any journey.
Powering this Ford is a freshly rebuilt 400 cubic inch V8, enhanced with an Edelbrock AVS2 carburetor and intake manifold. Long tube headers feed into a Borla exhaust system, delivering a robust sound. The C6 automatic transmission pairs with an NP205 transfer case, distributing power to Dana 44 front and Dana 60 rear axles with 4.10 gears. Power steering and brakes, along with an aluminum radiator, round out the mechanical upgrades. This F-250's chassis, featuring solid axles front and rear, was stripped and repainted during restoration, ensuring it's as impressive underneath as it is topside.
