Nope, sorry..tailgate trim used 1973/79, hubcaps used 1969/76.

C8UZ-1130-A Hubcap used with 15" wheels

C8UZ-1130-B Hubcap used with 16" wheels

D3TZ-99425A34-A Upper Tailgate Moulding-Black (Brown added 1975)

D3TZ-99425A34-B Lower Tailgate Moulding with letters F O R D

 

Only that they were an option.

 

The trucks rear axle does not seem to be far enough back for it to be a Super Camper Special.

Super Camper Specials had a longer wheelbase.

That truck looks to have the standard 133" wheelbase for a standard 8' bed.

The picture is distorted however.

 

Isnt it odd that the fender badges and FORD script on the tail gate are missing? Shouldnt the hub caps have 'FORD' on them? Its like the pic was doctored up.
My guess is its a 76 F-250.
Obviously its between 73-76 by looking at the bed. It looks like it has shoulder seat belts which came out in 75? I dont think Ive seen that bottom chrome on anything before 76. Im going with F-250 because the tires are tall and skinny.

 

It's a quiz......seeing what people think it is without all the details shown

 

Right off you can say it's a 1973 - 1979 Ford truck. Because of the exposed gas caps, I agree it's a pre 1977. The trim package makes me think it's a Ranger XLT. The hubcaps make me think it's a F-250. I also don't think the bottom trim was offered in the earlier years. It looks to be a F-250 Ranger XLT and I'd guess it's either a 75 or 76.

Yes the bottom trim was offered from 1973-1979.

It was standard Ranger XLT trim 1973-1976.

1977, Race track trim took its place as standard.


Here is a 1973 Truck ad (hi Dennis ) for you to compare.

That style hubcap (C8UZ-A/B) has a Ford crest in the center, but there's no Ford name on them.

Shoulder harness first used in Ford F Series in 1973. Ford called them "Shoulder Strap" seat belts. Some trucks had them, some didn't, as they were an option originally.

 

it looks like the front gas tank was added on later.

 

here it is!


Thanks to all for your answers, it was finally a Ford F250 Ranger XLT Camper Special 1973, I gave it as a 1974 since I wasn't too sure.....it's amazing all the knowlege you guys have!!!

 

I was wrong about the license plates. Correct on the year (73/74). I thought they were Black CA plates, looks like they're Blue. Now my question. Where in SoCA was the photo taken? I thought originally Hollywood Hills, West LA, or Pasadena, from the 1940's style home in the background. Photo was prolly taken in the summer, by the evidence of the grass on the lawn.

 

I wasn't sure on the age ,but I new one thing for sure.Its a sweet

 

I think the guy grabbed it off a website,can't tell you where it was taken !

 

I'll be damn

 

The aux tank filler looks and came like that from the factory. It always bothered me too just for that added on look.
