Well best time before winter was a 12.2s...did more work and have put down another 75hp (713hp/1480tq at wheels) on the dyno since then, still on stock injectors. I have the injectors waiting to go in and push me up to ~850whp, and then she'll get two stages of spray to push me over 1000 for this upcoming season hopefully!

 

I was looking for the same truck you are . They are hard to find; 460, 5 spd, 4WD, regular cab, in clean condition (a lot of variables there, but the 5 spd and clean are the most difficult to find). I found an F-250 (TTB) on eBay in Las Vegas that was absolutely pristine. 65K mile XL, 460/ZF/4.10s. It was white, which I am sucker for, so I bought it. Cost me $1000 to ship it out to the east coast. I ship trucks from the south and west all the time, because I hate rust; I don't buy anything local unless its new.


I paid $7200 for it. Upon arrival and my first in person inspection, it did not disappoint. The interior is absolutely pristine. Door sills are not even scuffed. Full service records, etc, etc. 1 little dent in the tailgate. I was afraid I'd never find another one as clean at what I considered to be a great price. I am currently looking for a clean Dana 60, as that is the only compromise I had with this truck. I have yet to see a comparable truck on eBay, so I think I made the right call. I am, however, having a hard time finding a clean front axle.

 

Thanks for the info! It will certainly take some patience if I want a nice one. My brother in law actually sold exactly what I wanted early last year for around 5k for a super clean single cab '97 F350, 460/5spd. I should have bought it.

 

Whats wrong with the one you posted link of?

 

You better weigh your truck again. a reg cab 6.4 truck weighs in at about 7000lbs and any trailer rated for that kind of weight is going to be 4k +

 

I'd pass on that one; looks like the rear wheel openings are starting to pop. $7000 is too much for a gas truck that's starting to rot.

 

I bought my truck cheap when gas was north of $3.00. I looked for a diesel too but could not find a manual trans/diesel combo. Good luck with your search!

 

I looked around a lot for the same set up, Every one I found was beat down and over priced so I decided to build mine

 

Nice truck Pappawheely, I always wonder what is the hook like sticking out between the cab and bed?


I'm in aw though that color is great and damn near what my 05 F350 has. My 1994 will one day look that way only difference is mine is not 4x4 so that will be my future project.

 

Not a 4x4 but...

Those are mounts for camper tie downs.

 

What I was thinking man your truck is awesome looking!

 

I've got multiple cat scale tickets putting me at 7600lbs, before I do additional weight reduction.

Most everyone I've talked to says a 16/18ft car hauler will weigh 22-2500lbs.

 

Love that truck but if I buy a 2nd truck it has to be 4x4

 

Ok, so you are still over 7000lbs and car trailer is rated at 7k (meaning the axles are rated for 6k, plus 1000lbs tongue weight. That means a car trailer rated at 7k that weighs 2500lbs cab only haul 4500lbs.

See where I am going?
