Classic 4x4 is proud to present this exceptional custom-built and modified 1975 Ford F-250 Ranger 4x4 Power Stroke. Blending vintage style with modern capability, this one-of-a-kind build features the original 1975 F-250 patina body mounted on a 1997 F-350 chassis powered by a legendary 7.3L V8 Power Stroke turbo diesel four-wheel-drive powertrain. This distinctive truck was professionally built by Mintonyes Conversions and Hodson Motors, combining the heritage aesthetic of the “Dentside” F-250 with the strength and reliability of a modern “OBS” F-350. Finished in its original two-tone Medium Green patina, the truck is complemented by a custom upholstered color-coordinated interior in green, gray, and black. It offers comfort and convenience with a suite of modern upgrades.
