Ford F250 Custom "Camper Special" 1978 V8 Auto - This lovely, rust free,1978 Ford 250 Custom "Camper Special" Fleet Side truck is equipped with Fords venerable 351M V8 Petrol motor and automatic transmission, which gives it superb low down pulling power but easy cruising capabilities out on the open road. The engine fires up on the button and soon settles to an even tick over. The vendor has up-rated the fuel delivery with the fitting of a "Facet" electric pump running through a "Filter King" filter before it gets to the carb and backed this up with an additional safety feature of a fuel cut out system in case of an accident, complete with a re-set button under the bonnet. Being a Camper Special it has heavy duty suspension, heavy duty brakes with "twin pot" callipers up front and large drums on the back, plus twin long distance fuel tanks. All of which are reported to be in excellent running order. Both front tyres and the spare have recently been replaced with the correct spec tyres, rears are very good. Body work is very good, straight and polishes well with the additional bright work etc you get on a "Custom" spec truck being present and nothing missing. Unusually both bumpers are in good order including the heavy duty rear one. Any lights etc that may of needed replacing have been while in the current ownership. Underneath you will find that it has been professionally undersealed to protect it from salt etc and again is in excellent order. With the truck is also the loading beds tonneau cover and rubber floor liner, plus a removable tow hitch and full caravan electrics through the standard 13 pin socket. Inside is more of the same, everything very nice with no splits in the dash or damage to the seats or door cards, in fact exceptional for what is after all a truck that the vendor does use, not just show off at the weekends! (Sorry for the bits of straw on the carpet in the pictures but that was my fault as not mastered the art of walking on grass without making a mess). So if you want a standard truck in excellent condition that drives well and is "turnkey" ready to use, this Ford really must be considered. Offered at a reserve which we judge to be very fair and at a price you could not buy and import a truck of this quality from the States today, in fact why would you bother or even take the risk??
