Overview of 1978 Ford F-250 Custom For Sale by Owner

The classic truck life is a life that's filled with balancing the best of both worlds: you have the practicality of a machine ready for work, plus the old-school appeal of a classic to cruise in. Present today is this 1978 Ford F-250 Custom. It's a lovely classic American truck with a reported 81,256 miles on the clock. It is a machine that's ready to munch down the miles on that Sunday drive while also being a practical machine for when you need to move stuff around.

Exterior and Interior

Dressed in a dark blue metallic exterior, there really is no better way to complement that iconic classic design. A walk around this 1978 Ford F-250 Custom and you would find all its styling intact and not another victim of rough and tough usage. A step back and you would also notice that this truck rides higher than the usual and thats due to a reported 6" lift in place. Bridging the gap between this trucks height and tarmac is a set of 17" steel wheels that are finished off in black and wrapped with a set of 35" Kumho Road Venture AT52 Tires for added off road aesthetic. Stepping into the color-matched blue vinyl interior of this 1978 Ford F-250 Custom, you are greeted by the sight of a complete 70s interior cabin ready to entertain its latest custodian. A look around reveals bench seats, Ford styled carpets, air conditioning to weather out those summer drives and a pioneer head unit for your tunes.

Engine

A lifted stance and good looks can only mean one thing: a surprise performance that raises one's eyebrows when pushed. Pop open the hood of this 1978 Ford F-250 Custom, and the purveyor of that performance is none other than a gigantic 460 V8 powertrain churning out some serious performance. Speaking of performance, a closer look at the engine bay reveals some lovely treats: an Edelbrock air filter housing, aftermarket valve covers, and an MSD ignition. Giving you better traction off the beaten path is Four Wheel Drive that derives its power through a reported C63 3-speed automatic transmission.
