My buddy and I were taking a motor out of a bronco and we kinda stopped and were jsut BSing for abit and he lookedo ver at this 78 f250 supercab I picked up for parts and was like "does that thing run" and I told him that the guy I got it off jsut parked it after the insurance ran out 18 YEARS ago, so we went over and tried to bark it up. just poured a little VP racing fuel down the carb (all we had) it popped a few times, tried it again fired and started idleing smooth as could be...it has over 300,000 on it and it runs better than the one I have now, so we proceeded to do soem brakestands and whatnot, but I thought that was pretty good, sitting for 18 years, 18 year old gas and it jsut ran likea charm!
