they are the very same truck, the "Ranger" in 1978 was a trim package option, the exact specifics of what it added or didnt add to the truck i have not found but i do know its a trim package, much like the newer xlt or lariat, also in 1978 you have the "camper special" as well as other options.
Yes
what size engine do you have ? Is it an automatic or manual transmission ? Is this a California vehicle ? It is not a California vehicle, and it is a 351 cummins 2-barrel manual transmission
It depends on year, because there was a light duty F250 prior to the latest series of Super Duty (F250+) which started in 1999. There is a huge difference in frame/driveline between an F150 and the F250/F350. 1999 to 2004, the difference between the F250 & F350 was minimal, the GVWR of the 250 was 8800lbs & the 350 (not dually) was 9900lbs. 2005+ saw the GVWR's increase significantly. The dry weight of a crew cab diesel F250/F350 with 8' box and 4x4 is in the mid 7000lbs range. The F150 SCREW (not sure on this) would likely weight in the mid 6000's. Ton's of other differences but too much to get into here.
it is on side of transmission
The Ford F250 is a 3/4 ton truck and the F150 is a 1/2 ton truck. The main purpose for these differences, is pointing out the towing capabilities for each truck. The major difference between the F150 and F250 is size and power. The F250 has a more powerful drivetrain and can tow and haul more cargo.
I found somewhere that the 1973 Ford F250 Ranger XLT with a longbed and 390 V8 has an unloaded curb weight of 4,500 lbs.
$8000.00 is the low end if runing far paint good trans
well mines not a ranger its a ford f250 super cab 7.5 l now how do i stop the clutch pedle from going to the floor
For a 1978 Ford F-250 : The GASOLINE engines take ( " regular " unleaded , 87 octane ) * from the factory *
Sounds like a master cylinder.
the seats out of a same year ranger will work but only if it had buckets in it before otherwise you may have to do some fab work
will 1996 f250 rims fit a 1999 f250 bolt pattern
