390-Powered 1974 Ford F-250 Ranger XLT Highboy 4×4

This 1974 Ford F-250 Ranger XLT 4×4 pickup was delivered new to McCollum Ford Sales in Dishman, Washington, and was refinished in maroon over red vinyl upholstery under previous ownership. It was acquired by the seller in 2024, and subsequent work involved installing a replacement 390ci V8 as well as replacing the steering wheel, instrument cluster bezel, door strikers, carpets, and various power steering components. Shifting is through a three-speed automatic transmission linked to a divorced full-time dual-range transfer case, and the truck rides on 16″ steel wheels. Additional equipment includes a spray-on bedliner, a sliding rear window, cab clearance lights, spotlights, side steps, faux interior woodgrain trim, and a Philco AM radio. This F-250 Ranger XLT is now offered by the seller on behalf of its current owner with a Deluxe Marti Report, engine replacement invoices, and a clean California title in the current owner’s name.

The Styleside bed features a spray-on liner and bedside tie-downs, and further details include a sliding rear window, A-pillar-mounted spotlights, cab clearance lights, side steps, chrome-finished bumpers, and bright bodyside moldings with vinyl inserts. The windshield and seal were replaced in January 2024.

The replacement two-spoke steering wheel frames a 100-mph speedometer and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, battery charge status, and fuel level. The horn does not work. The five-digit odometer shows 52k miles, approximately 3k of which have been added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
