1983-86 Ford F-250. Looks like this was from an old TV commerical. |

It is from a series of Ford television commercials that aired during the mid-80s. Known for their outlandish and silly depictions of Ford trucks carrying other rivals on their pickup boxes while climbing mad-made rock hills. This particular one shows an 1985 Ford F-250 three quarter-ton pickup carrying a gutted half-ton 1985 Chevrolet C-10 Custom Deluxe Fleetside (E36). The engine and transmission were said to have been removed. Some other modifications were also done. GM later made its own television commercials that made-fun of Ford’s advertisements, and sported a tongue-in-cheek feel. |
