I've got '78 F250 Supercab Ranger XLT, 4x4. Bought it with the 400/4spd, and replaced it with the 460/C6. I was looking for one for about 4 years, and spotted this one sitting in a used car lot. Snagged it for $4K, had new paint and good interior. It's not a daily driver for my wife, as I have too long of a commute. She likes driving it.

Ok, I'm chiming in. I have two. One is 75 2WD 390/C6 definite work truck, just found out it wont pass smog because it has an odd head on it (not sure what from, casting is C4AE, 360/390 didn't start till 68). Second one is a 77 XLT Trailer Special 2WD 460/C6 with Gearvendors OD, 8100 GVW 3.54 posi. Factory Delux topper, factory AC, factory cruise, This truck was originally owned by a doctor and did not smoke. The only rust is from some minor dings on the body. The original lighter is unused and the ashtray galvanizing inside still shines. Bought it off of ebay, of all places, for $3500. I don't plan to part with it as long as I can drive and remember I have it!

How does the 460 do when pulling hills towing the toy hauler? I'm thinking about getting a Weekend Warrior toy hauler to carry my Early Bronco in. I've got the '78 F250 S/C with a built 460 & C6. So I'm looking for input if this will tow that? The trailer will probably be around the 17,000 lbs mark with the Bronco in it...........

I have a 78 f250 ranger supercab. Repainted in 91, has a 91 box on it so I would like to find a rust free original box, or better yet a whole "new" classic for parts. 400m/c6/205 soon to be 33"s

It looks like you have done your math, a weekend warrior with 3 axels, loaded with every thing including 100 gals of water is probably going to be close to that maybe a little heavier (little), but i have seen motorhomes heavier than that with 460`s.
good luck and enjoy what you buy there a blast to camp in.

I got a good one too.
Mine's a 77 F-150/460/C-6/Jump seats with belts/Canopy.
Some rust but no dents. About 86K miles.
Unfortunatly my Health is forcing me to sell it now.
But I loved it for years.
