1978 Ford F-250

Pickup truck

6 - Cyl.

Automatic

Diesel

Custom built 1978 Ford F-250 crew cab pickup truck. The truck has a 12V Cummins diesel motor installed with an automatic transmission. I originally purchased the truck in Arizona and the truck has been in Florida for the past five years, so the body is in great shape with no rust. This Truck has a 77 front grill because I liked the look of it better on this truck so don't be confused by the pictures. The truck has a custom built suspension with 12 inches of lift. The truck has a 4 link suspension setup in the front with coil over shocks, the rear has leaf springs with additional air bags for towing. The front axle is a Dana 60, with warn locking hubs and the rear axle is a Sterling 10 1/4 with 5.13 gears front and rear. The tires are 38 / 15.50 / 20 Nitto mud grapplers with good tread on them. The motor and transmission are from a donor 1993 dodge truck with approx. 130,000 miles on it at the time of installation. The automatic transmission is mated to a divorce mounted NP 205 transfer case via a short jack shaft. The truck has a single 80 gallon fuel tank in the bed of the truck. The truck has P.S. and P.B. and has a trailer brake controller hooked up. The interior on the truck is a custom grey tweed cloth. The head liner has a unique flame design with door panels to match. The dash is original Ford with an aftermarket R.P.M gauge under the dash. There is after market A.C. in the truck and blows cold, it is a vintage air setup though and doesn't cool like modern factory air units. To aid in entry, I had AMP research power step ups added, which retract and open when the doors open and close. This gives the truck clean lines when driving but allows you to get in and out easily. The doors have remote lock and unlock from the key chain. The wiring system has been upgraded with a two optima battery setup with a selector switch to change between one, two, or both. The truck has all been professionally built and is a unique and cool piece to drive around in. I have put close to 30,000 miles on the truck since having all the work done. I have towed 15,000 pounds all over the south in this truck going to different events and have made the trip cross country twice with no problems and complete confidence. The truck gets about 13 mpg with the current setup and tops out about 80 mph. Most of the work on the truck was completed by a local 4x4 shop if you want to look on their website to check out some of vehicles they built to see the level of their work.
