1965 FORD F250 CUSTOM CAB LWB 2WD

Description

Viva Las Vegas Autos Presents... The 1965 Ford F250 forever altered the course of the genre, evolving from a single-use, work-only vehicle to a versatile machine- capable of hauling heavy loads of cargo, yet comfortable and luxurious enough to serve as a daily driver. The introduction of Ford's Twin I-Beam independent front suspension for two-wheel drive pickups changed the F-series for the remainder of the 20th Century. Viva Las Vegas Autos Known History... This truck is the 2nd to last year build... of the Fourth Generation of the F-series, but single-handedly the biggest mark in Ford Pickup history. 1965 was the year Ford introduced their Twin I-Beam Independent front suspension, as well as a wider variety of engine and power options. This truck possesses the biggest of the engine options for the F-250- the 352ci FE V8. This motor creates 208hp, and a wopping 315lb-ft of torque. It also has the NP 435 4Speed manual transmission with overdrive. Other changes included style tweaks for the grill, including the re-positioning of the front marker lights, setting them above the headlights. The interiors didn't change much, but this truck had custom carpeting installed, leather panels installed on the doors to match the re-covered bench seat, and a clean dual-colored respray of the dash and doors. Viva Las Vegas Autos Preparations... The first thing we do is inspect the undercarriage of the vehicle. We put it up on a lift, and do a quick undercarriage Power-wash to get any of the grime and dirt off the bottom. This truck was in incredible condition underneath, and need very miniscule work in order to make it ready for the market. Whenever we buy a classic vehicle like this, our first steps of getting it ready for market is a thorough visual, mechanical and functional inspection. We get in every car, and turn every knob and push every button to ensure that it works. The truck starts right up every single time, and drives like a dream. everything cosmetically works, from the turn signals to the wiper blades. The Motor was given an appealing makeover with Edelbrock valve covers and air cleaner to make it pop. Our Build Assessment as far as we can determine... This truck was assembled in April of 1965 in Kansas City. it was built as a 2 Wheel Drive 4x2, with the 352ci motor. The engine and transmission are original to the vehicle. It has the 129" long wheelbase, Custom Cab, New Process 435 Manual Transmission, and a 4.10(5.2M) Ratio rear end. The exterior of the car was repainted in the original color code for the car which shows Marlin Blue and Wimbeldon White (color code WM).
