Ford has been around for a long time, and has built some amazing vehicles. Many of Ford’s trucks have been American favorites for years. In modern times, Ford even continues to run the truck game. Yet, the new trucks simply don’t compare with the old classics. Take a trip down memory lane and review a few of the most popular classic trucks by Ford.
The F-250 Highboy
If you watch old movies, you’re probably familiar with the Highboy. This is an iconic truck that makes its presence known. These trucks were manufactured from 1967 to the middle of 1977. They have three driveshafts and a divorced transfer case. They also have an arching front spring. The overall rugged look of this truck makes them an all time classic.
These Ford trucks were also pretty powerful. You can find Highboys with 360 V-8 engines, or an alternative V-6 model. Even after 30 or so years, these trucks are in high demand. It can be hard to find one on the used car market. If you are lucky enough to get your hands on one, you’ll likely need classic Ford truck parts to keep it running.
The Second Generation Bronco
The Ford Bronco was a staple in Ford’s lineup. Some consider it the grandfather to the modern day SUV. The models from 1978 to 1980 contained an F-150 chassis. This made them larger in size, and able to handle more power.
The Bronco was known as an off-road beast due to its sturdy front axle. It could also be powered by an old-school V-8. You could even get a removable rear top for those days out in the sun. The ’78 Bronco was a tough-looking vehicle that would put fear into today’s SUVs.
The F-100
If you go even further back in time, you’ll remember the F-100. This truck was released in the mid ’50s. It had a bubbly, but well-contoured shape that was immediately recognizable. It also had a pretty strong engine for its time with a 130 horsepower V-8. If you are fortunate enough to have one, you’ll likely need some classic Ford truck parts.
