1979 FORD F250

1979 Ford F-250 Ranger Lariat Trailer Special – One-Family Oregon Truck | 460 V8 | 2WD | Original Survivor

This 1979 Ford F-250 Ranger Lariat Trailer Special is an unusual, highly optioned classic Ford pickup offered in original, well-maintained driver-quality condition. The truck has been owned by the same family since new, originally purchased in Portland, Oregon, and retains much of its factory configuration and character.

Power comes from a 460 cubic inch Ford V8, paired with a C6 automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive (2WD). The truck is described as structurally sound and mechanically reliable, with honest cosmetic wear consistent with age and use.
