1979 Ford f250 Ranger Camper Special 460 CID T-18

1979 Ford F-250 Ranger

For sale is a 1979 Ford F250 Ranger 2wd with a 460 CID engine. The truck and original engine have approximately 71,000 miles on them. The original automatic C6 was swapped out in 2015 with a Borg Warner T-18 4 speed transmission in 2015. This was done with the L&L products kit and not pieced together with a homemade setup. Broncograveyard.com supplied all other parts not original from OEM sources. The factory cruise control was disconnected as part of the conversion. Currently the truck is on its 2nd owner and was purchased in 2013 after the original owner traded it in to a dealership. The truck had approximately 67,100 miles on it when purchased. OEM parts replaced since 2013: heater core, carburetor (Holley 4160/manual choke), valve cover gaskets, cap and rotor, plugs and wires, interior floor vinyl floor, master cylinder, front brakes and wheel bearings, battery, and rear bumper. There is a 4 inch tear in the seat vinyl that the original owner tried to repair. The original owner also had a modern trailer brake controller installed. This has been removed, replace, and disconnected. Upgrades since 2013: PMGR high torque starter conversion, aluminum radiator, 1-piece aluminum driveshaft from Driveshaft Specialists of Texas, 4 Gabriel load carrier shocks, and in-bed spare tire carrier (OEM parts), and Retrosound radio. Both fuel tanks work fine. No body rust and original paint. Some surface rust on frame/suspension, but nothing more than patina. The original automatic column was retained the vehicle. Factory Cruise Control is disconnected but truck comes with all of the cruise parts. The truck comes with all OEM parts that were removed for manual conversion: original C6 transmission (worked perfectly when pulled), shift linkage, stock radiator, spare radiator, OEM auto brake pedal, linkage, cooler lines, torque converter and flexplate, and factory driveshaft. The spare tire in bed is a 16" rim off of an OBS F250 and the truck comes with an extra 16" rim and tire not shown in pictures. Stock 16.5" rims are on the truck. Truck is in good condition with current Louisiana state inspection. Driven in town and on the weekends. VIN# F25JLEA4369.
