We'll try to forgive your Chevy leanings. Looks like a fun truck. Lot's of folks on this site that can help you figure out Ford "secrets" when you work on her. Welcome

 

eye candy

 

yea ,Im in the process of a 460 swap manual in a 75 f250,running 37 4:10 differentials,,, your in the average ballpark on mpg

 

460 750 cfm c6 4.10 35's

8 mpgs. Welcome to the 460 club.

 

She is Purdy.

 

just be glad someone swapped in a 460 you would hate to hear the fuel mileage of a 351m or 400 with that set up.... you can get better gas mileage out of it but its no where near as fun

 

Nice truck!!!!!!! are those IROC'S?

 

probably gonna be easier to build a windgate or find an old windgate and cut it down to fit

Don't worry about being a Chevy guy, some of us are Ford guys that secretly want a GM too.

I personally have a thing for 73-86 GM pickups and 99-06 GM pickups.

 

i have a thing for mopar and jeep trucks but wouldn't even think of buying one unless i put a ford motor in it (kinda racist like that) closest thing i would have to a chevy (other than one i own and hate 76 1/2 ton 6-8 mpg tops 350/350 with 3.53ish gears no reason why it should get such ****ty mileage, and it takes a 8 point turn to turn it around on a 2 lane road ridiculous) would be like a cheby luv/izuzu pup diesel (friend has one that is a dually rear end under a short and narrow bed with a ford 302 wickedly awesome and leaves the cutest burnout marks you ever seen)

 

Are you certain that speedo gears are accurate? with such a big tire size increase, your speedo gears may be way off......Either way, your not going to get great mileage, the truck has big tires, lots of wind resistance, a big thirsty engine......at the same time, 38" tires and 4.56 gears are a pretty good match, have you taken a drive on a mileage marked road to be sure your not getting an inaccurate odometer reading in tems of miles driven?

 

Hey Guy,Great on the tail gate,,,although the thanks goes to Numbers Dummy for locating.Bill is a retired Ford Parts Man with a wealth of hands on experince...ck flash back100 on those lights your looking for,,or give Bill(ND) a pm he might be able to find for you.Mike Ooooooooo also might be able to locate as well.Both these fellows have helped us all in one way or another.
