The F250 was the last year of the sixth generation F series truck . The success of the F series had carried on more than three decades at this point and still lives on today. The 1979 model changed the circle headlights to square headlights but the rest of the truck was the same. The 1978 and 1979 models had a single piece insert for the grille unlike all other prior models . In 1979 the F series truck became the bestselling vehicle in the world, this was also the first time that ford motor company introduced the slogan " built ford tough." The F-250 came in Custom, Ranger, Ranger XLT and Ranger Lariat trim choices, with Custom being the base level and Lariat the most luxurious. The crew cab versions were only available in Custom and Ranger XLT trim. The Custom came with vinyl seat upholstery, the Ranger offered knit vinyl, floor covering and color-coordinated trim panels, the Ranger XLT came with cloth-trimmed upholstery, extra insulation and carpeting and the Ranger Lariat provided padded cloth seating, padded headliner, extra insulation and special color options.
This truck is a very solid example, with the paint in good condition along with the exterior chrome trim package. This F250 is the "Camper Special" edition. The camper specials came with a pig tailed wire harness, stouter suspension, longer wheelbase, bedside storage. All the doors, tailgate, and hood shut properly with no sags or slop. It has a great running 400v8 with a edelbrock carburetor. Truck has power steering also. The automatic transmission shifts as it should. It also has factory air conditioning. The interior is in great shape also. Has a brand new rubber floor mat, comfy seat with plenty of padding and a gun rack in the rear window. This truck has dual fuel tanks. The Cooper discovery tires have plenty of tread as well.
