Exciting and at the same time a strange thought that it is now just a couple hundred miles away at that very moment..

Who knows.. some say there have been christmas miracles in the past..

Worth a try but I am afraid they need hard facts.

Wiki says 156hp. That's more than I read most of the time.

Ford specs the pickup 351 at 210HP and 315 lbs of torque.

To put that into context, if you pull up to a light with a '69 VW bug don't try to take him. he'll blow your doors off.

Thanks George! Hopefully, that's gonna happen soon!


Regarding the specs... maybe the only option to get some specific information is to get it on a dyno.

A lil' late, but merry christmas everyone!

A hundred... now we got a wide range
Do you think that's just how it is as an all normal loss from engine to wheels? Not regarding old, worn out components, etc..

Hi guys,

finally back in business, after helping my parents renovating their home the last months.
Now it's time to get back to the truck! I did some small things on her meanwhile, but I'll start an extra build thread for that.

This thread comes to an happy end with some pics of the truck arriving at my place in january!

FunFact: Only loss on the 9500miles trip was the left F250 Custom Badge. Pictures show that it's still there when it arrived in the harbor so it must be gone on the last 350miles on the transport to me. I guess the barrel nuts were shot and it just fell off the shaking trailer or maybe some harbor staff is also dreaming of.... If so, may he or she have fun with it.
