She's a beaut!!! I think it's pretty common for ford truck lovers to instantly fall in-love with the 70's style dents and highboys. They definitely are iconic and tough and really exude American grunt. In my opinion, the Bullnose 80-86 style is the forgotten child. Perhaps it's the uncanny resemblance to the 87-97 style that you see everywhere or the longing for the old dent-side. Regardless of why, you just don't see many bulls out there and it's a damn shame! When I found this girl a year ago, I was one of many who had no love for the bullnose and was stuck on dents! I'm glad I fell in love all over again and gave this truck the attention it deserved.

Sure, ford trucks aren't "Rare" but 1980 was only the second year of one-ton F350 4x4's. This truck is dressed up in the ultra premium Victorian two-tone paint scheme. To boot, it's a Ranger Lariat! You really just don't see these. It's been tastefully upgraded to a ZF 5 speed with OD. It will do 75mph at roughly 2,600rpm. The motor is # matching 400ci that has been completely rebuilt (roller/rocker cam, heads, aluminum intake, 4 barrel eddy, to full headers and magnaflow exhaust.) This thing hauls A$$. The 400 has a tremendous amount of torque and will no joke run in 5th gear at 900rpm just fine. I was pleased to see that the PO took the time and $$ to rebuild the 400 and not just swap in a 460. 4:10 gears, dana 50 front (tires wear evenly) 10.25 rear. Stock height on 265/75/16 Kenda Klevers with 16" aluminum shoes. The best part is that this truck is fast and handles like a new truck. Zero body roll, steering is tight tight tight. 1 finger on the wheel at 85...no prob.

Interior is mostly stock with exception of media deck replacing the obsolete stereo. Wood grain steering wheel really dresses up with the ranger lariat wood trim. The A/C has been converted to R-134 and blows icy cold. No need to find costly R-12

. What really impresses is the rust free nature of this truck. The doors shut like new and even the tailgate closes without holding the handle up!

Prefer phone calls if interest 303 956 6990. Truck is on ebay. A little wiggle room on price...a little. Not interested in trades.
