I found this on Facebook, and thought it was funny, but you will notice this is a Dually most likely a one ton. Then go do a little research on the difference between a 1966 F350 and a modern F150. You will find on Wikipedia, that my 2006 F150 has almost the the hauling capacity of a 1966 F350.

So I amend my previous statement, and say if you have a 1966 F550 then maybe hauling it across the country is fine, but short of that it would be a squirrely ride.

Anyone that believes the BS on wiki wiki, needs to take a course in Reality 101.

The crap info typed on wiki wike inre to FT engines is laughable. Their F series truck info is also rife with errors.

Bum,

He says it is a 1966 F100 in his first sentence.
