This 1961 Ford F-250 Styleside pickup is said to have been purchased new by its previous owner in California, where it has remained through the seller’s purchase in 2014. It is equipped with a slide-in camper with a three-burner stove, a sink, a refrigerator, a wet bath, Jalousie windows, and an over-cab sleeping area. The truck is finished in light green over beige vinyl and is powered by a 292ci V8 linked with a four-speed manual transmission and a Dana 60 rear axle with a limited-slip rear differential. Further details include 16″ steel wheels, a rear step, an AM radio, and a heater. This F-250 was purchased by the seller in 2014 and is now offered at no reserve with camper stands, spare parts, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The Styleside body left the factory finished in Mint Green and was reportedly refinished in the seventies. Features include a white-finished front bumper and camper mirrors, while the camper has a rear step and Jalousie windows. Areas of corrosion and other imperfections are shown in detail in the gallery.

The 16″ steel wheels are mounted with Ironman RB-LT tires. Stopping power is provided by drums at each corner.

The bench seat has been re-trimmed in beige vinyl, and appointments include an AM radio and a heater. The dome light is missing, and areas of corrosion are shown in detail in the gallery.

Instrumentation includes a 100-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 25k miles, approximately 300 of which were added under current ownership.

The camper has wooden cabinetry, a three-burner stove, a sink, a refrigerator, a wet bath, and an over-cab sleeping area. The bench seat assemblies have been dismantled in the dining area, the insulation and ceiling have been removed, the previously installed flooring has been removed, and the wood throughout the camper is damaged.

The 292ci V8 was factory rated at 160 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque.

Power is sent through a four-speed manual transmission and a Dana 60 rear axle with a limited-slip differential and a 4.56:1 gear ratio.
