Builder/Owner: Firehouse Vintage Vehicles
Repost/IG:

I can’t say this for a fact, but I feel like this 1988 Ford F-350 XLT Lariat for sale by Firehouse Vintage Vehicles has to be in the top 3 longest 4x4s for sale that we’ve ever featured here at Fourbie Exchange. 📏 Not only is it a F-350, built on the sizable and beefy one-ton chassis, but this one is the crew cab long bed variant.

It is a fact that I would be horrendous at parking it...but I still want it.

This North Carolina truck by way of California and Nevada has 45,100 miles on its odometer and sports a fresh, super high-quality coat of its original factory color black paint, a plush red interior, and a ginormous 7.5 liter big block V8 power plant. Boy is this thing sweet. You can drive it home today for $29,900.

👉 For more on this dazzling 350, head over to www.fourbieexchange.com 👈

📲 Make sure you're following for daily highlights of the best 4x4s for sale across the United States. DM us to get your sale featured. 📥
On this weeks episode, we get a call from the guys at Firehouse Vintage Vehicles for help with a preservation detail on this 1978 F-250 with only 139 original miles 🤯

Under 40+ years of filth, this truck was absolutely stunning.
