Vehicle description
This rare Ford F250 Ranger “Snow Fighter” package is an incredible survivor that would be a standout on its own, but throw in the equipment offered direct from the factory to make this truck a heavy hitter when the snow flies, and it’s off-the-wall rare.
This is just a loaded-to-the-hilt example of a rare Ford F-250 Ranger. The Snow Fighter package included a still-desirable Dana 60 4,500lbs HD front axle; HD springs and shocks; Basically, a one ton suspension from the factory; duel batteries; overhead cab lights; an engine block heater; auxiliary transmission oil cooler, upgraded radiator; an oil pressure gauge and amp meter; and an HD alternator. The Camper Special package adds front and rear sway bars, additional bed storage, and larger sideview mirrors, rear air bags, duel gas tanks, among other features.
This is straight up gold for a Ford truck collector who wants one with awesome period colors and some of the best HD options Ford ever offered.
The original owner who ordered the truck with these options wanted the heavy duty components across the board, and in his mind, that meant it should be equipped with the 460 V8. As Ford did not offer this engine on four wheel drive models, he elected to have a 460 swapped in, thus ensuring he had the beefiest drivetrain offered by Ford that year. The engine bay looks quite clean, and aside from not being offered by the factory in this configuration, there’s little reason to think it didn’t roll off the assembly line this way. A true time capsule and almost certainly unrepeatable.
Recently installed new dual exhaust from manifold all the way out the back, duel Flowmaster 50 series mufflers. New BFG All Terrains (5). New Optima Red Top battery. Minimal surface rust, no rust cancer areas. All lights and gauges work as they should.
