I pick up a1987 f250 supercab, longbed, 460, 4x4. I has a triangular badge on both side that reads Special Edition & 70th anniversary.

Does anybody know what that means as far as options and what not?

I was told that it has a sterling rear end.

 

This is odd. Ford did their Centennial models (Taurus, etc) in 2003. This would make 1987 their 84th anniversary.

Maybe someone just added the badges on?

o.o or it was a thing at the dealership it was purchased at back in 87 when it was new

 

hm interesting

 

looks like the state of VA on the badge...might be a regional/dealer item idk?

 

That makes sense. Anniversary of the dealer.

 

The F-series wasnt started until 1948 so 1987 would have been the 39th year not really an anniversary of the F-series itself. It may have been in recognition of the fact ford has produced trucks since the model T days that would have given the 70th anniversary.

This is the second truck that I have heard of that was an "87 anniversary" model. The other truck was supposedly an anniversary model that was blue with a white stripe.

Sorry, I only have conjecture and hearsay for your answer. I was only 11 in 1987, not quite paying attention to trucks in those days...
