1960 Ford F-250 Super Duty

The 1960 Ford F-250 is a robust light-duty truck celebrated for its utility and performance, although not officially categorized as “Super Duty.” It is equipped with two engine options: a 223 cubic-inch inline-six or a more powerful 272 cubic-inch V8, providing a balance between efficiency and power. The standard transmission is a three-speed manual, with the option to upgrade to the Warner T98A four-speed automatic for enhanced driving versatility. This model boasts a gross vehicle weight (GVW) rating of 7,400 pounds, with a load capacity of approximately 70 cubic feet on an 118-inch wheelbase. Despite its classification, the 1960 F-250 is known for its reliability and capability, making it popular among contractors and tradesmen of the era. While the “Super Duty” label was reserved for heavier trucks like the F-1000 series, the F-250 remains a significant model within Ford’s truck lineage.
