  • Classic Highboy: Produced between 1967 and 1977.5, the F-250 “Highboy” earned its nickname for its tall stance and divorced transfer case. These trucks have become icons of Ford’s heavy-duty 4×4 history, celebrated for durability, simplicity, and collectability.
  • Diesel Powertrain: This build swaps in a legendary 7.3L Power Stroke turbo diesel backed by a ZF 5-speed manual transmission and 4×4 drivetrain with a Dana 60 front axle. With fewer than 6,000 miles since the full build, it delivers modern reliability and torque in a classic package.
  • Exterior Presence: Finished in original 1975 patina with clear coat—not faux painted—and complemented by a 1976 grille, LED headlights, and period-correct badging. Power running boards and 37” Milestar Patagonia XT tires provide both function and stance.
  • Custom Interior: The cabin features premium upgraded seating, Dakota Digital RTX gauges, a Vintage Air A/C and heat system, and a custom-mounted 1997 steering column with updated wiring. It balances comfort with period style.
  • Ownership & Build Quality: Professionally restored and re-engineered by Hodson Motors, the truck has been garage-kept in Southern California and shows a clean title. The seller notes no mechanical issues, making it turnkey for film/TV rental, collections, or overland builds.
