Description
Up for auction is a classic 1974 Ford F-250 Extended Cab pickup, a highly desirable three-quarter-ton truck from Ford's legendary sixth-generation F-Series lineup. These 1973-1979 Ford trucks, commonly referred to by enthusiasts as "Dentside Fords," have become increasingly popular among collectors, restorers, and custom truck builders due to their timeless styling, durability, and strong aftermarket support.
This particular truck spent much of its life serving as a local delivery and service vehicle for a small Omaha-area business. As a result, the truck reportedly accumulated most of its miles in local and regional use rather than long-distance commercial service.
The odometer is currently showing just under 52,000 miles. While the seller believes the mileage could potentially be original, buyers should perform their own due diligence regarding actual mileage. Even if the odometer has rolled over and actual mileage is higher, the truck still presents exceptionally well for a vehicle of this vintage.
Overall condition appears to be above average for its age, with a straight body, solid appearance, and the type of originality that collectors and restoration enthusiasts appreciate. These trucks continue to gain popularity as fewer unmodified examples remain available.
Whether you're looking for a classic shop truck, weekend cruiser, restoration project, collector vehicle, or foundation for a custom build, this F-250 offers tremendous potential.
Engine & Drivetrain
Based on visual inspection of the engine compartment, the truck appears to be equipped with a Ford FE-Series V8 gasoline engine, likely a 360 or 390 cubic-inch V8 commonly found in Ford F-250 trucks of this era. Exact engine displacement has not been verified and buyers are encouraged to perform their own inspection.
Features include:
Ford FE-Series V8 platform
Automatic transmission
Rear-wheel drive (2WD)
Factory-style air cleaner assembly
Heavy-duty F-250 chassis
The FE engine family is highly respected among Ford enthusiasts for its durability, torque production, and strong aftermarket support.

Durable truck platforms
Growing auction values
Popularity among restomod builders
