CallDescription
Overview: This 1980 Ford F-250 XLT is an excellent work or specialty truck with less than 53,000 original miles. Formerly an emergency specialty vehicle, it has been meticulously county-maintained and shows no dings or scratches.
Mechanical and Power: The truck starts and runs reliably every time. It features an on-board inverter and battery charging system with a 30amp/110v connection for constant overnight readiness and mobile tool power.
Equipment: Fully equipped with a 12,000 lb WARN winch setup, a ladder rack with integrated bed lights, and a rolltop vinyl equipment cover. Includes a key FOB and two sets of keys for all lockable utility cabinets.
Condition: Recent service history and a passed smog test as of late 2024. Features good tires, a robust tow package, and a stereo with CD player. Excellent interior and exterior preservation.
Market Highlights
- The Bullnose Boom: The 1980-1986 Ford F-Series trucks, known as 'Bullnose' models, have seen a significant rise in collector value. In 2026, buyers are specifically targeting well-preserved 4WD examples that avoid the complexity of modern electronics while offering rugged durability.
- Utility Niche Value: Specialized fire and emergency utility vehicles are highly sought after in the West Coast market. Their history of being 'over-maintained' by municipal fleets makes them more reliable than standard consumer trucks of the same vintage, commanding a unique market premium.
- Low Mileage Rarity: Finding a 46-year-old heavy-duty truck with under 53,000 miles is extremely rare. While the utility body limits some traditional pickup uses, the integrated winch and power systems make it a turnkey solution for overlanding or specialized trades.
