I've been watching a show on YouTube called Roadkill that's pretty entertaining and I'd recommend it. But after seeing this episode just posted this morning I knew I had to share it. They bought a 1950 F6 and well- just watch.


If you don't feel like sitting through the whole show just skip to the last few minutes for the good stuff

And I curious to here your opinion- do you think they ruined the truck?

 

Those guys are nuts Hope his spinal compression heals

 

I wish I could get paid for a job like theirs!
Frieberger is a riot, Car Craft magazine was always great when he was the editor.
This is another crazy vehicle I want to copy in my spare time!

 

I've been a Roadkill fan from the beginning. I haven't missed a single episode of the previous 51. But I refuse to watch this episode. They very seldom have a Ford project vehicle to begin with. But then they go and power this with a bbc. There was no reason at all they couldn't have used a BBF in it. If they would have used a BBF it could have been one of my favorite episodes. But instead it's just the one episode I refuse to watch.

 

LOL its just an engine!
I think having the engine in the bed of an F1 would make more sense for a daily driver. Already got this engine sitting around, it would work perfect!

 

Not to me! Ford has built way too many great engines not to run one. I feel a Ford should to be powered by a Ford. The chevy guys are just too embarrassed to be seen in one of those ugly chevy's. So they swap a chevy engine into a Ford.

The roadkill guys do so much chevy and mopar stuff, it would just be nice to see more Ford stuff. And no a chevy powered Ford does not count!! But they don't do more Ford stuff because they don't break down enough.

They just should make up for the chevy in the Ford by dropping a Ford into a chevy. It's only fair!!

 

I think that p.o.s. is the waste of a nice F-6. And watching the video I kept waiting for them to blow a widow maker. Just my humble opinion. Stu

 

I agree with Stu. I wouldn't walk across the parking lot and look at it now. I would have found it very interesting when stock.

 

Yup I definitely see where you're coming from, but I would never go as far as to refuse to watch the episode just cause of the engine lol.

 

Not exactly my cup of tea, which is fine, but not taking the time to fix the brakes B4 running it on a city street?. Ill shut up now.

 

An F6 wheelie truck??? Total waste of what was a nice medium duty truck. Just my opinion.

 

They'd just have the "Viking" come out and replace it for them. Have you seen him at work in the earlier episode? - Bob

 

He's the one they bought it from. That was some scary stuff to watch.

 

Just because you can doesn't mean that you should.

 

I dont care what the truck is or was, I was laughing my **** off when that thing stood up on the trailer hitch. My best day at work just doesnt compare to that!
