You are going to have a tough time changing the oil, unless you install a filter relocation kit. 460 powered trucks had a different engine cross member that has an access hole to reach the filter.

I would not use those, I used several sets back in the 80's and they all came apart. Here is a quality one but price is High to me. I ended up making my own that look similar to them.

Or you can just start with an 83 F-250 with a 460 - 4 speed like I did... LOL

Beautiful truck! I am pretty hard headed and stubborn. That route would be way too easy for me. I have to go about it the hard way.

I have gotten a "little" (not much) wiser in my old age... I bought it because it was setup exactly like I would have ordered it in 1983 if I had the money. It's got a whopping 57k miles on it - Barn Find that cleaned up pretty nice...
