This 1966 Ford F-250 Crown Crew Cab 4×4 is a rare example of a purpose-built heavy-duty truck ordered with both specialized coachwork and Ford’s upscale Custom Cab specification. Unlike the standard fleet-grade bodies typically used for Crown conversions, this truck was built on a F-250 platform and equipped from new with the 81B Custom Cab package, pairing a four-door Crown-built body with Ford’s highest interior trim of the period. A comprehensive, factory-correct restoration was carried out with the singular goal of returning the truck precisely to its original 1966 configuration rather than modernizing or reinterpreting it. The combination of Custom Cab trim, Crown coachwork, faithfully recreated upholstery materials, and original-style factory air conditioning places this truck among the most authentic Crown crew cab F-250s known, supported by Hemmings documentation and minimal mileage since completion.
Exterior and Interior
Finished in its original Caribbean Turquoise, the exterior of this 1966 Ford F-250 retains all Crown-specific structural features, including the four-door crew cab architecture, exposed rear hinges, and shortened bed proportions, presented with correct 1966 paint finish, textures, and detailing. The interior is where this truck distinguishes itself most clearly from other Crown conversions. Rather than a utilitarian fleet interior, it was ordered with the 81B Custom Cab package, featuring a padded dash, full gauge cluster, premium door panels, and enhanced insulation. The seats are trimmed in Medium Green Crush vinyl with Cody-pattern woven inserts that were recreated using original mill patterns to precisely match Ford’s 1966 fabric. Correct hot-stamped Ford logos, factory-style door pockets, color-matched steering wheel and column, and period switchgear complete a cabin that accurately reflects Ford’s premium pickup interior rather than a work-truck specification.
Engine
Power comes from a factory-correct, naturally aspirated 352ci FE V8 rated at 172 net horsepower, paired with a NP435 4-speed manual transmission and a Ford/Spicer divorced two-speed transfer case. A Dana 60 limited-slip rear axle with 4.56:1 gearing provides proper F-250 heavy-duty capability, supported by factory-style leaf springs, drum brakes, and original steering components. Of particular significance is the presence of a correct, original-specification Ford under-dash air-conditioning system, sourced as unused old stock and installed exactly as Ford offered in 1966. Combined with the PTO-driven winch and period-correct driveline components, the mechanical presentation remains faithful to how this Crown-built F-250 crew cab would have been delivered when new.
This 1964 Ford F-250 Custom Flatbed takes Ford’s classic heavy-duty pickup formula and gives it a distinctly custom personality. Showing approximately 468 miles, it combines a two-tone Mint Green and Dark Green presentation with a custom flatbed conversion, wood stake-side bed, dual rear wheels, and a 390ci V8. Power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes, air conditioning, power windows, and a Bluetooth-equipped RetroSound system make it far more accommodating than its vintage work-truck roots would suggest, while the custom detailing throughout gives this F-250 plenty of show-truck character.
The 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty XL Crew Cab 4x4 is built around the kind of heavy-duty capability that has made Ford’s Super Duty line a mainstay for towing, hauling, and work use. Showing 37,605 miles, this Agate Black example combines the 6.7L Power Stroke turbo-diesel V8 with four-wheel drive, a 10,000-pound GVWR package, and a 3.31 electronic-locking rear axle. According to the seller, it has also been fitted with a 6-inch lift kit, giving the truck a more aggressive stance and additional ground clearance. Factory equipment including the Power Equipment Group, engine block heater, 110V/400W outlet, SYNC 3, and telescoping heated power mirrors rounds out a specification that blends serious utility with useful everyday features.
The 1968 Ford F-250 Highboy Custom Conventional Cab represents an era when Ford’s heavy-duty pickups were built with uncompromising simplicity and capability. This example has remained with the same owner for approximately 30 years, having been purchased from the original owner’s son and driven approximately 7,000 miles during that ownership. Showing approximately 67,321 miles, this F-250 retains its factory configuration with no modifications reported since leaving the factory. Powered by a 360ci V8 paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, this Highboy features the desirable 4WD package, Dana 60 rear axle, 4.10 gearing, long bed configuration, and factory/dealer-installed equipment including a grill guard and locking side saddle fuel tanks. Following a documented 2015 body refresh, the truck was refinished in its original Lunar Green color with a matching spray-on bedliner while preserving its classic character.
The 2004 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe blends retro-inspired styling with V8-powered grand touring, recalling the original two-seat Thunderbird while adding the comfort and drivability expected of a modern roadster. Showing 73,264 miles, this example is finished in Platinum Silver over a Black Ink leather interior and comes equipped with both a black convertible soft top and a removable body-color hardtop. Aftermarket wire-spoke wheels give it a more traditional appearance, while an aftermarket sound system adds a modernized touch to the cabin.
The Ford F-150 is already one of America’s most recognizable pickups, but this 2022 Ford F-150 Shelby takes the familiar platform in a much more serious direction. Showing 45,615 miles, this truck combines a well-equipped Lariat-based F-150 with an extensive Shelby American performance package. Its centerpiece is a supercharged 5.0L V8 tuned to produce 775 horsepower, backed by a 10-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. Shelby also transformed the chassis and appearance with a BDS suspension lift, Fox shocks, 22-inch Shelby wheels, bodywork, graphics, and a long list of Shelby-specific details. The limited-edition numbered plate identifies this example as #22ST0086.
Few vintage 4x4s have the enthusiast following of the first-generation Ford Bronco, and this 1971 Ford Bronco Restomod takes that classic formula in a decidedly performance-oriented direction. Showing approximately 2,242 miles, this build combines a 302ci Ford Racing crate V8 with a Holley 570 CFM Street Avenger 4-barrel carburetor, a 3-speed manual transmission, and four-wheel drive. Finished in Wimbledon White and Guardsman Blue with dual Blue stripes, it also features James Duff suspension, Dana 44 and Ford 9-inch axle hardware, Warn locking hubs, roadster-style doors, a family-style roll cage, and a long list of custom audio and trim upgrades. The result is a Bronco that retains its unmistakable early off-road character while incorporating the mechanical and aesthetic touches enthusiasts look for in a thoughtfully executed restomod.
The 1961 Chevrolet Corvair 95 Rampside Pickup is one of Chevrolet’s most unconventional utility vehicles, combining a forward-control cab with the Corvair’s rear-mounted, air-cooled powertrain and a genuinely clever side-loading pickup bed. Showing 23,258 miles, this example is powered by a 145ci air-cooled flat-six with dual single-barrel carburetors and a 4-speed manual transmission. Its signature passenger-side loading ramp, rear-mounted engine, compact proportions, and distinctive cab-over styling give the Rampside an identity unlike virtually any other American pickup of the period.
The K5 Blazer is one of the defining full-size American 4x4s of its era, combining the hardware of a traditional Chevrolet truck with a shorter two-door body and removable roof. This 1984 Chevrolet K5 Blazer shows 52,293 miles and keeps that classic formula intact with V8 power, an automatic transmission, dual-range four-wheel drive, and solid axles. Its removable fiberglass hardtop adds the open-air element that helped distinguish the K5 from conventional SUVs, while the period-style Rally wheels, BFGoodrich all-terrain tires, and burgundy cabin complete the unmistakably 1980s presentation.
