1974 Ford F-250 Custom Extended Cab PickupVIN: F25MKV01563Mileage Showing: Just Under 52,000 MilesEngine: V8 Gas Engine (Appears to be a Ford FE-Series V8 — Buyer to Verify Exact Displacement)Transmission: AutomaticDrive: 2WDTitle: AvailableDescriptionUp for auction is a classic 1974 Ford F-250 Extended Cab pickup, a highly desirable three-quarter-ton truck from Ford's legendary sixth-generation F-Series lineup. These 1973-1979 Ford trucks, commonly referred to by enthusiasts as "Dentside Fords," have become increasingly popular among collectors, restorers, and custom truck builders due to their timeless styling, durability, and strong aftermarket support.This particular truck spent much of its life serving as a local delivery and service vehicle for a small Omaha-area business. As a result, the truck reportedly accumulated most of its miles in local and regional use rather than long-distance commercial service.The odometer is currently showing just under 52,000 miles. While the seller believes the mileage could potentially be original, buyers should perform their own due diligence regarding actual mileage. Even if the odometer has rolled over and actual mileage is higher, the truck still presents exceptionally well for a vehicle of this vintage.Overall condition appears to be above average for its age, with a straight body, solid appearance, and the type of originality that collectors and restoration enthusiasts appreciate. These trucks continue to gain popularity as fewer unmodified examples remain available.Whether you're looking for a classic shop truck, weekend cruiser, restoration project, collector vehicle, or foundation for a custom build, this F-250 offers tremendous potential.Engine & DrivetrainBased on visual inspection of the engine compartment, the truck appears to be equipped with a Ford FE-Series V8 gasoline engine, likely a 360 or 390 cubic-inch V8 commonly found in Ford F-250 trucks of this era. Exact engine displacement has not been verified and buyers are encouraged to perform their own inspection.Features include:Ford FE-Series V8 platformAutomatic transmissionRear-wheel drive (2WD)Factory-style air cleaner assemblyHeavy-duty F-250 chassisThe FE engine family is highly respected among Ford enthusiasts for its durability, torque production, and strong aftermarket support.Why Collectors Want Dentside FordsThe 1973-1979 Ford F-Series trucks have become one of the fastest-growing segments of the classic truck market because of:Iconic "Dentside" body stylingStrong collector demandExcellent parts availabilityIncreasing restoration activityStrong aftermarket supportDurable truck platformsGrowing auction valuesPopularity among restomod buildersThese trucks continue to attract attention from restoration shops, classic vehicle collectors, Ford enthusiasts, and custom builders nationwide.Restoration & Build PotentialThis truck would make an excellent candidate for:Factory-correct restorationSurvivor-style preservation buildShop truckWeekend cruiserRanch truckPromotional business vehicleShow truck restorationRestomod projectModern drivetrain conversionCustom street truck buildIts extended cab configuration also offers additional practicality compared to many standard-cab trucks from the same era.Known Information & Seller NotesLocal Omaha-area business truckOdometer shows just under 52,000 milesActual mileage unknown; buyer to verifyExtended cab configurationAutomatic transmission2WD drivetrainBody condition appears above average for ageNew alternator appears to have been installed recentlyOriginal alternator is reportedly includedFuel filler hose has been removedSeller indicates fuel tank repairs or servicing may be requiredKeys were not available on picture dayEngine operational status is being further evaluatedBuyers should assume fuel system service and inspection may be necessary prior to returning vehicle to regular usePlease review all photos and videos carefully for overall condition.Collector AppealFinding a largely complete, relatively unmodified 1970s Ford F-250 has become increasingly difficult.
