1972 Ford F-250 Custom


1972 was the last model year for this fifth generation of Ford's F-series trucks. They'd been released as 1967 models and got a mild styling refresh for '70, but the new sixth generation trucks were already waiting in the wings.


This one has a blacked-out '71 grille and aftermarket striping over its Grabber Blue paint.

The lone drinking straw exhaust outlet makes me suspect it has the base motor, a 4.9L (300 cid) inline six rated which had been rated at 165 SAE gross horsepower, but was now advertised as 119 net ponies.

It was photographed in February of 2026 using a Nikon 1 V1 and a 10-100mm f/4.5-5.6 VR zoom lens.
