Ford’s F-Series of full-size pickup trucks have a cult following ever since they were introduced in 1948. These sturdy load-luggers are now on the fourteenth generation, and remain one of the Blue Oval’s bread-and-butter revenue generators. This 1989 Ford F-250 is from the eighth generation, and being an F-250, is a light-duty ¾ ton truck. With a few modifications and just 88,000 miles on the odometer, it’s got plenty of life left in it, and is perfect if you’re looking for a classic Ford truck that can still haul a load when required.
Exterior and Interior
A single cab pickup truck. That’s what this 1989 Ford F-250 is, in all its grey two-tone glory. Standing tall thanks to a 4-inch lift, and rolling on 16-inch wheels wrapped in meaty 295/70 Toyo Open Country tires that are reportedly new, it’s no garage queen, but one that’s raring to be used on a daily basis. All lights are in good condition, as is the badging. Given that the typical F-Series will lead a tough life, finding one in this condition isn’t as easy as you might think, despite the sheer sales numbers. Let’s climb aboard, and here we have a very Eighties red interior. A badge informs us that this is the XLT Lariat trim level, which brings red cloth upholstery to the bench-style seating, tinted glass, carpeting, and leather wrapped steering wheel to the table. You’ve also got air conditioning, a CB radio and antenna, and all electrical components reportedly function as per the seller. There’s a radio cassette player visible in the dash as well, and being an Eighties vehicle, the obligatory 85mph speedometer takes center stage on the instrument cluster. The steering wheel hosts buttons for cruise control too.
Engine
This 1989 Ford F-250 comes with the largest gasoline engine on offer in the range, out of a total of ten engines that could be specced (five gasoline and five diesel). It’s a 460ci (7.5L) V8 that generates 225hp and 390lb-ft. If that sounds low, remember that these trucks are designed for low-rpm cruising and longevity, not high-rpm racing. Drive is sent to all four wheels via an automatic transmission.
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.
