1974 Ford F-250 Custom Pickup 4x4 4-Speed

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The 1974 Ford F-250 belonged to the sixth generation of Ford’s F-Series (1973–1979), a period that solidified Ford’s leadership in the pickup market. As a ¾-ton truck, the F-250 delivered durability and capability while adapting to changing consumer demands during an era of economic challenges and rising fuel costs. Its signature “dentside” styling featured straight lines and a concave body accent, giving it a bold, functional appearance. 

The F-250 4x4 came with a rugged chassis and part-time four-wheel drive, perfect for off-road and heavy-duty work. Engine choices ranged from the reliable 300ci inline-six to V8s up to 460ci, paired with a tough 4-speed manual or automatic transmission. 

Reportedly sold new at Vista Ford of Woodland Hills, California, this '74 F-250 is said to have remained with its first owner until 2015, and now shows just under 42,000 miles, which are believed correct but cannot be proven with documentation. Finished in Ginger Glow with yellow inserts, it is said to retain most of its factory interior and drivetrain, and features a lift kit, adjustable shocks, larger tires, and several additional upgrades as listed below.

This F-250 is now offered at no reserve in Georgia on behalf of the current owner by a Broad Arrow Specialist with a clean Georgia title in the current owner’s name.
