This 1965 Ford F250 (chassis F26DK651230) is a great looking stepside 4×4 that’s said to be all-original. The truck shows definite patina, but if truly unmolested we’d call condition excellent if not extraordinary for an old workhorse. Sold with a big stack of records–many of them handwritten–the truck is said to run very well and sounds to be fully functional as well. Find it here at Worldwide Vintage Autos in Denver, Colorado for $18k.

We’re not sure what the exact breakdown of production numbers are, but these four wheel drive models are extremely scarce relative to lighter duty, RWD 150 variants. This one’s color, battle scars, stance and all-business, utilitarian vibe are spot-on perfect and exemplify much of what we love about an old Detroit pick-up.

The interior is bare-bones simple with a vinyl bench and arm rest/door pulls encompassing the beginning, middle and end of any concessions to comfort. Two gearsticks look like fun to row, and with dual range four wheel drive and what’s likely an ultra low gear on the 4-speed primary box, we bet this thing pulls along quite well even in very nasty conditions.

We’d love to know more about this one’s history–what it was purchased for, how it earned its keep, and how it avoided being beaten to death like 90% or more of its brothers, but would be happy just having a chance to drive it whenever the urge to drive something slow, stout and really cool arose.
