hello

well, mine has a 360 w/ a c6 trans, the rear end looks like a dana unit (i don't know the truck axles too well, but it is a floating axle). I bought the truck last year, and plan on making it a workhorse/daily driver. The 360 is in need of a rebuild, as is the suspension. brakes are ok, as is the rear end. I pulled the c6 out and had a trans shop rebuild it for me. The body is in poor shape, but I don't care-these trucks are getting harder to find.It's fairly reliable, like I said though the engine needs a rebuild, and the 2 bbl motorcraft I'm about ready to throw in the garbage, but all in all it's a good truck.

Boys there is a chat link at the top of the page that you can use to compare your trucks stories on.

I've still got mine too '71,'72,'78 "F2 Thunderberd", (that's because it's an F100 with F250 axles/brakes and a TBird engine) I figure it's 1/2 way between a 1/2 ton and a 3/4 ton.

I took my old Motorcraft 2bbl carb off of my 1965 F-250 390 CI and was going to put on a high rise Edelbrock Manifold and Vacuum 4bbl on the thing. I had the opportunity to try a Holly 500 cfm 2bbl and I'll tell you what. That thing flat flies. Am afraid to figure out the gas mileage but I'm quite sure that the mileage is poor. I don't really care since I am restoring it from the bottom up and I use it to tow my boat. The carb cost me around $200 but was well worth it.

Take care.
