1979 Ford F250 Custom review from North America
"Tough reliable work truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seats worn.
Exhaust leak when I got the truck.
General comments?
I bought this truck because I needed a truck to haul siding and other construction materials. This truck does an excellent job, whether it's siding being carried in the box, or towing the trailer, this truck performs very nicely.
The truck would be better with air conditioning.
The truck is fairly easy on gas.
The C6 transmission with the Dana60 rear-end makes one very impressive pulling combo.
