1978 Ford F-250 Ranger Camper Special – 460 V8 | C6 Automatic | Rust-Free CA Truck
This 1978 Ford F-250 Ranger Camper Special is a rust-free California truck featuring a mostly original setup with a 460 V8 paired to a C6 automatic transmission. A strong-running classic with good bones, but it has been in storage since 2022 and will need a tune-up and going through before regular use.
A great opportunity for someone looking for an original survivor to drive and improve.
