Newbie needs help....
Hi all. I am in the process of buying a 67 F250. But i dont know what to look for. I am pretty mechanical but i dont know much about ford trucks. It is one of the nicest looking truck models i have seen though.
1. How much is this truck worth? It is has about 100k miles and a solid body, very good interior, needs a little tranny work.
2. was the 352 engine any good? Are parts available?
3. What are the best sources for parts?
4. What are the weak points for 1967?
Thanks a lot!

The '67 is a score, a lot of unique parts versus the 68-72. The 352? A 360, 390, 428 is a straight bolt in, if the 352 isn't to your liking.
Trust me when I say bite the bullet. You won't be disappointed.

There are plenty of parts for that 352; there are a lot of aftermarket parts for FE engines.
Like everybody else said, there are lots of things unique to the '67 model year (that's a good thing).
I can't really think of any weak points. Just check for rust around the cab, especially on the corners, around the windshield, and at the drip rail.
You'll be glad that you bought it if you decide to do it.

Welcome to FTE.com
The value is what your area SAYS it's worth. It may be worth $3000 in one place, $1500 in others.
The 352 is a good transportation motor, but other motors can be put in its place.
What tranny does it have? stick or auto?
Check the front/rear cab mounts, inner fenders around hood hinges, radiator support mounts.....the list goes on....
Yup, '67 has alot of its OWN parts that dont mix with the same body styles thru '72. Don't let that bother you, it's not a big deal. Most all stuff is available if you need it.
For parts, check the SPONSORS of this site (see I didn't mention ANY non-sponsors.. ). Most all will have catalogs that have a vast array of parts.
Go for it. You'll be happy you did.

What ever transmission you like is the best. I can take either one, they are both ok.

Mileage?? Not really. As long as we are comparing "non" overdrive type trannies which was what came in all these trucks.
My '67 did not change much at all when I switched to a stick. What gears are out back is a bigger factor in getting any kind of decent mpg. Mine has 3.25, some had 4.10 OUCH!!
