There’s cool, and then there’s today’s 1993 Ford F-250 (207,000 miles) and 1973 Alaskan camper combo. I encourage readers to reference the original forum listing to better understand the amount of time and money invested into this stunning build. In addition to premium upgrades and a thorough restoration, the rig received a new transmission at 179,000 miles and an 80-point inspection at 203,000 miles. The F-250 with the 7.3-liter motor is legendary and a desirable choice on the Expedition Portal forum for overland builds with recent examples including this 1997 with an Outfitter Caribou, a 2000 with a Scout Kenai, and a 2002 with an Aterra XL Flatbed camper. If you’d like to better understand what it’s like to travel in an older-generation F-250, check out the adventures of MO_Bronco, John Burtt, and Basil Lynch.
From the Seller:
“Offering this package on behalf of a friend who has put over 500 hours into it. It’s a work of art. This is a 1993 Ford turbo-diesel 7.3 IDI F-250 extended-cab truck, paired with a Knapheide lower profile service bed with a resto-modded 1973 Alaskan Camper mounted to it. It has a meticulous maintenance history. The ultra-functional Knapheide body was beautifully bolt-off restored within the past year. And no exceptions were made with the 1973 Alaskan, which underwent systems updating and modernization. Structurally mold/rot free and sound. Turn-key, ready to adventure.”
