EXTENSIVELY RESTORED | 460 BIG BLOCK | E4OD OVERDRIVE | RUST-FREE ALBERTA TRUCK

***MORE PICTURES TO COME, RECENT ARRIVAL AS OF 06-26-2026***

Some trucks get restored. Others get rebuilt with decades of knowledge behind them. This 1979 Ford F-250 falls into the second category.

Under the hood sits Ford's legendary 460 cubic inch 385-Series big block, upgraded with quality performance components and backed by a professionally built E4OD overdrive automatic transmission, giving this classic truck the ability to comfortably cruise modern highways while still delivering the torque these trucks are known for.

Inside, you'll find an interior that remains true to its original appearance while benefiting from carefully integrated modern conveniences including upgraded audio, improved seating, and hidden electronics that maintain the factory look.

This isn't a lifted truck thrown together over a weekend. It's an exceptionally well-thought-out build with quality parts throughout and countless hours invested into making it one of the nicest driving classic F-Series trucks you'll find.
