1969 Ford F-250 Flatbed Makes For a Classy Hauler

It's a Looker

There was a time when even hardcore work trucks were nice to look at, sharing pretty much everything with their lighter-duty brethren. That's certainly true of this 1969 Ford F-250 flatbed, which was obviously born to work, but thanks to its timeless classic lines, it also looks fantastic. And thanks to Ford Daily, we recently got an up-close and personal look at this gorgeous rig.

Business in the Back

For starters, this vintage hauler is in far better condition than most work trucks its age, with perfect orange paint covering flawless bodywork. All of the original trim work is in place and looking fine, but as they say, it's all business in the back with a big, rugged flatbed.

Spartan Cabin

The same goes for the interior, which is in nice condition with no frills because you don't need those sorts of things in a work truck. Here, we have a black vinyl bench seat, lots of orange paint to contrast, and, well, not much else.

No Changes

The F-250 rolls on a set of steel wheels with chrome center caps, which are wrapped with a beefier set of tires that match its persona perfectly. Overall, there isn't a thing we'd change about this classy and cool old flatbed, and we wouldn't be afraid to put it to the test, either.

Looking Your Best

These days, heavy-duty work trucks aren't built for looks - that much is clear from their lack of fancy adornments like chrome trim and bright paint colors. But back in this F-250's time, that wasn't the case, though we'd wager that this old work truck looks better now than it ever has before.
