The only thing I have done to my bone stock '66 F250 is change all the fluids and tires. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere in the United States as long as there is a gas station every 150 miles.

I am putting it back to together to accommodate the higher speeds, but I may have to take out a second mortgage on my home to pay for the fast approaching 5 bucks a gallon gasoline.
