You are bidding on a very nice two-owner 1978 Ford F-350 XLT Ranger Super Cab Camper Special two wheel drive pickup. This is a rare truck featuring the high-line XLT Ranger trim and interior package, Super Cab extend cab body style, heavy-duty 1-ton suspension, the big 460 4v engine, and fully loaded with options, including A/C. She still looks beautiful in original Medium Copper and White two-tone paint; no rust issues at all in, out, or under. The front and rear bumpers are nice, grill and surround excellent, and XLT trim great. The truck has lightweight aluminum wheels with new Wild Country radial tires. She is in turnkey running and driving condition; runs and drives just great. Newer full dual exhaust sounds great, not loud, but you can hear the power of the big engine. Easy cold starts, and she idles down properly when warm. The interior is still nice, with the original carpet, Super Cab-specific split back front bench seat, and rare rear bench seat which folds flat for cargo. The upholstery, dash pad, gauge cluster, door panels, headline r, etc. are all in very nice condition, with minor wear appropriate for a well-maintained vehicle of the era. The gauge cluster is excellent, and all gauges work. The cruise control works properly, and the truck cruises comfortably at freeway speeds, running cool and smooth. The body is extremely straight, very clean and solid underside with no rust issues. Floors are solid and perfect, cab mounts great, entire underside very clean, not scaly. The truck came with the optional built-in bedside tool box, which is in great condition in and out as well. The windshield has a crack stemming from a rock chip, and there isn't a radio in the dash currently. Under the hood, you will find the optional big 460 4v 7.5L V8, one of the best engines Ford ever built... tons of power. Newer battery, fresh fuel filter and hoses, new plgs, wires, cap, rotor, etc. Runs great; get in, turn the key, and go. This is a fantastic example of what I think is Ford's best design era... the '78-'79 trucks were the pinnacle of 70's styling, in my opinion. The XLT Ranger option on the Super Cab body is about as good as it gets... dress it up further with all the power train and convenience options, and you've got a wonderful and rare classic truck. Clear title in hand; matches the VIN exactly for inspection and/or export. You may call me at 360-936-9257 with any questions you might have. Please be prepared to remit payment within 3 days of auction's end via bank wire transfer, or deposit into my Bank of America account. While every effort has been made to describe the truck as accurately as possible, it is in fact a 37-year-old classic, and therefore being sold as-is, without warranty or guarantee, expressed, written, or implied. I am not a professional vehicle inspector, rather a classic auto enthusiast with a good eye. I've gone over her thoroughly and disclosed everything I could find, positive and negative. This is a great truck and is going to make someone very happy!
