This Ford F-Series 1973-1979 got away, but there are more like it here.

1979 Ford F-250 Ranger

Sold for $25,850 on 5/3/21

This 1979 Ford F-250 is a rear-wheel-drive long-bed pickup that was originally delivered to New Ulm Motors in Minnesota and is said to have remained in the state until it was acquired by the selling dealer in 2020 from its second owner. The truck is finished in two-tone Sand Glow and Light Sand over a matching cloth and vinyl interior, and it is powered by a 351ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes 16.5″ wheels, a chrome front bumper and grille, power steering, a push-button AM radio, and a heater. Service carried out in December 2020 reportedly included replacing the radiator and lubricating and adjusting the brakes as well as fluid changes. This F-250 is offered in Wisconsin with manufacturer’s literature, a Deluxe Marti report, and a clean Minnesota title.

The truck is finished in two-tone Sand Glow and Light Sand with “Deerfield Farm” lettering and fleet numbers on each door. Other exterior details include extended bright mirrors, chrome trim, and a steel rear bumper with a ball hitch. Finish imperfections and glass etchings are shown up close in the image gallery below, which also contains paint meter readings.

White 16.5″ wheels wear bright-finished hubcaps and Goodyear Workhorse Radial All-Season tires that were reportedly mounted in 1992. The brakes were lubricated and adjusted and the brake fluid was flushed in December 2020.

The beige interior features patterned cloth inserts on the bench seat as well as matching door panels and a contrasting brown dashboard. Simulated wood accents the locking glovebox, and other amenities include manual-crank windows, a push-button AM radio, and rubber floor mats. The seat belt buzzer does not work.

Instrumentation includes an 85-mph speedometer as well as gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The five-digit odometer reads just over 28k miles, approximately 100 of which have been added by the selling dealer.

The 351ci V8 was factory rated at 160 horsepower and sends power to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. Service performed in December 2020 reportedly included changing the coolant, transmission fluid, and oil as well as replacing the radiator and lower radiator hose. The removed radiator and belts are included in the sale.

The seller notes corrosion on underside components, additional photos of which can be viewed in the gallery.

The Deluxe Marti Report indicates the truck was ordered by New Ulm Motors in Minnesota and lists door data plate information as well as production statistics and factory equipment. Manufacturer’s literature, including an owner’s manual with handwritten maintenance entries, is included in the sale.
