Here's my 52 F6 havent done much with it yet, other than pull all the old rotten wood off and working on some engine maintenance for now.

About 300 miles. He has a logging operation, so moving them is no problem, lol. Me having a trailer big enough is a problem.

I was going to build this...

I had a detroit 8.2 and allison and was deliberating on installing f450 axles and a pickup clip or newer f600 or IH disc brake axles. I stumbled onto this 85 for a good deal and sold out of the 76 project.
I have a scissor lift, pto,and pump and need to configure a bed slide mechanism to use it as a dump AND rollback.
It has the 370 gas engine and an allison automatic.
I'd like to change over to a powerstroke but for as little as I use it the 4.5 mpg doesn't matter when I still use maybe $100 a year at that rate and can drop in a 460 if the engine goes bad.
