Two Tone Tuesday: F-250 Highboy Spotted in the Wild (of Social Media)

Two Tone 1977 F-250 Ranger

It is rare to come across a classic F-250 this perfect, but this truck will bring a dose of awe to even the most seasoned Ford fan. 

We were online looking at classic sixth-generation Ford trucks, hey–it is our weakness. And then we came across this blue and white two tone Ford F-250 Highboy. It is an incredible truck that perfectly captures the spirit of “Two Tone Tuesday, which is, basically, showing you Ford trucks so hot they deserve a dramatic slow clap.

This 1977 Ford F-250 Ranger belongs to JL_Thomas_77, whose Instagram is an enviable scrapbook of his rocking rig. The F-250 has been remarkably preserved, and is a pristine ride. Plus, at 42-years old, it can tear up the road as well as any pickup.

Powered by a 460 big block, it rides on BFGoodrich All-Terrain 35/12.50R-16.5 tires. This truck is a classic Highboy four-wheel-drive F-250. And if you thought this might just be a show pony, you’d be wrong. This is still a wild stallion.
