Unidentified Ford
Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum and know next to nothing about Fords so hope someone can help me with a question I have. If so it would be greatly appreciated.
I'm a travel writer by trade and recently hitched across Australia for a book I am writing on this trip and got picked up by the delightful Ford in the following photo and even got to drive this baby for a while.

Problem is, I have lost my notes on the details of what type of Ford it is exactly. If anyone could tell me what it is, how big the engine is - apparently it had some especially large block - or any other details it would really help me out as I have also lost the driver's details.
Many thanks in advance. Happy driving,
JP

its either a F150 (most likely) or a 250/350 but from the looks its going to be 86-91/92.5 (i think?) and most likely its a 5.0 or 5.8L although there was a 4.9L one, if the air tube was above the grill its mostly a 5.xL

G'Day, Ford Truck Mate!
Yes, it is the "brick" body style made here in North America as model years 1987-1991. The one in your pic I assume is a right hand drive, given that the wipers are reversed from what they are here in NA on our left hand drive units. That one could very well be newer than '91 since many manufacturers build & market models in other parts of the world after they are out of production here. It also appears to have glass headlights - a feature not used on that body style here. (Too bad - glass units do not yellow & haze!)
That is also one great cow-catcher bumper & guard unit, complete with a winch for rescues there in the outback! Thank you for a most intriguing post.

That truck is an 87-91 F-150
Engine options are either 4.9L inline 6 cyl, or 5.0 or 5.8L V8s.
In other parts of the world ford offered these trucks with sealed beam style headlights, they were never available here in the US.

Thanks everyone for your quick replies and help on this matter.
I'd never driven anything like it before but loved every minute of the hour or so the driver let me take the wheel. If I ever get the money I know what my next vehicle will be!
Thanks again!
