hahaha! nope. that 400 is gonna get stacked and run circles round 460s...

 

82ford302- You've got me wanting to go check my mounts now........

460/5 - I just did a pull contest with an 82 F350 with a 460 dually, I won somehow, and I can't figure it out, but oh well, the kid was running his mouth, after he lost he came up, shook my hand and asked how much I wanted for my truck, i smiled and told him this victory has given me increased motivation NOT to part with the old girl (not that I needed any) I will NOT part with my truck for anything.

 

haha. dont get me wrong, i love the 460. obviously, otherwise it wouldnt be name, and i wouldnt own one. but i DO believe its fords single most overrated motor. and the 400 is the most underrated. which is part of why i love the 400 so much.

 

I had a friend (germanford390custom), he bought an 82 f350 dually and IT has the 400 (although he argued it has a 460, I know a 40 when I hear/see and drive one), and he ran off with the title and never paid for it, drove it like a mustang on the autobahn, I kept telling him to stop before it damaged something, and he didn't so he seized up the rear axle.

 

that scratch on the tailgate should buff right out wiith some good wax,Gigger

 

like i said, i got it from my uncle, who got it for my cousin to drive. he tinkered with it a bit, and then let it sit. till i bought it and picked it up, it hadnt moved in at least four years. my cousin swears up and down that its a 460... cousin, no, its not. its just that beastly.

 

Nice find. If the drivetrain is all good, that is worth $500.

 

yep drivetrain is all solid. hardly any leaks and nothing rotted, broken or bent. cant say the same for the cab and bed lol.

 

lol yea. im surprised the tailgate stayed in place the whole trip back. the wife said that the bedsides were flapping in and out evertime i hit some good bumps and dips.

 

yea might want to check them out lol. from all the 73-79 ford trucks i've seen in my life this truck is the worst. i thought my 3/4 ton was pretty bad, this one has it topped out.

 

at least you dont get wet when ever you hit a puddle! with the windows up....

 

I checked em, mine are fine, the normal surface rust, nothing serious.

 

Hey that's kind of what mine looks like.

 

thats an ambitious project but one worth doing,and not a bad price for a running and driving 4x4 dent,I would love to come across that deal here,but most of the 4x4 dents around here have been taken by the salty winter roads.

 

I would say the grill is in good shape
