If you’re looking for a classic pickup, then you can’t go wrong with considering the Ford F-350 XL. It’s a heavy-duty truck that can still be pressed into workhorse duties, or can sit pretty at a car show, depending on what you want. This example, offered from Cameron Park, California, is powered by the durable 6.9-liter International Harvester-built diesel V8, enhanced with both an aftermarket turbocharger and gear splitter for added performance and drivability. With over 123,000 miles, it presents as a classic heavy-duty pickup.
Exterior and Interior
Finished in metallic blue, this F-350 carries the bold, squared-off design language of 1980s Ford trucks. Its heavy-duty stance is matched by straightforward functionality, ensuring it still looks ready to tackle demanding tasks. Inside, a gray interior provides durability and utility, designed around work-ready practicality rather than frills.
Engine
At its heart is a 6.9-liter naturally aspirated diesel V8 producing 170 horsepower, now fitted with an aftermarket turbocharger for improved power delivery. The addition of an aftermarket gear splitter broadens the truck’s usability, offering more flexibility for towing and hauling. Power is delivered through a 4-speed manual transmission and a 4x4 drivetrain, giving this F-350 the ability to handle both road and trail with confidence. Stopping power comes via front disc brakes and rear drums.
