1989 Ford F700 4dr Pick Up

This thing is sick, the paint job? :/
Just imagine the look on somebody's face as they run a red light and see you barreling down on them in this thing..

 

great hauler! his truck and mine are the same height lol. he wants way too much for it.

 

It's a beast of a truck, I would love to drive it through all the roads going up north, they were a blast in my idi (I swear my truck breathes better up there).

 

That is amazing!

How the heck does it get 28mpg though??

 

yea, he is doing crack if he thinks anyone would believe that 28 mpg remark. i can see 9-10 mpg, but not 28.

 

i dont think the brazilian 6.6l gets that kinda mpg, even if it was a split gear rear end.

 

We have a '97 F800 flatbed with a 5.9 cummins in it that will get 12 mpg empty on a good day...28 mpg sounds like bs

 

Even with the difference to CDN gallon size it seems a stretch.......

 

28mpg I doubt, but the Brazilian engines supposedly do get pretty decent fuel economy when you're just running around empty. And this is a pretty mean looking truck, my friend's dad has an F600 crew-cab only it has a western-hauler-style aluminum bed and is used to pull horse trailers and goosenecks full of hay and one extremely long but not overly high toy-hauler - with the giant cow-catcher up front it's quite intimidating, but this one looks a whole lot meaner cause it's black and has those star-like wheels (forgot what they're called, I know they ain't split rims tho). This guy does need a cow-catcher of some sort tho, and sidepipes that can shoot flames, then he'll really be ready for Z-day, lol

 

as a flatbed with an attenuator on back, our 6.6 litre trucks with allison automatics were getting around 7 mpg. so with a manual trans and a split rear, i can see mayby 9-10 mpg with a pickup bed on it.

 

Don't forget it's missing like 11' of frame, and a huge enclosed back end seriously lowering the weight of the vehicle. 28? Prolly not, but better than your average f700? I would bet on it.

 

average is around 6-7 mpg. that is why i say 9-10 mpg

 

Cool truck thanks for the link.

 

I kinda wanna build one, drive it for a while then sell it. Seems like a very time consuming build, but not terribly expensive. F700's are like 1.5-4k locally, a bed, and the back of a crew cab? Granted lots of fabricating, cutting, welding, but actual pieces for the build? Not to bad.

 

At 28 mpg it would be my daily driver, somebody didnt take math. LOL
