'74 F250 highboy

[FastGallopingPonies]

My most recent ride. Took a ride to go check it out and picked it up a few days later. Truck is solid for the year and being a Massachusetts truck its whole life. Truck was rolled in the 70's by the original owner. She's a little rough but drives good. gets around 7mpg and it's worth every penny. I've got plans for it but nothing crazy, its gonna primarily be a trail truck, but I plan on making it a clean trail truck that will still be local show worthy. has all the new Process Drivtrain goodies, Dana 1 tons, and a 390 powerplant. She moves for such a big thing and melts them mall terrains from a roll in anything under 4th with some throttle. Anyway pics-

Did you get a good deal on it?

[packman]

Do you have a 390FE in there with a C-4? My father's '73 F-350 had that combo and it had two gas tanks; which probably was just barely enough for that combo. Are you leaving it that way or are you gonna get some 35" tires for some offroading action?

Nice truck

[FastGallopingPonies]

It's got a 390 originally a 360. With an NP435 5 speed. Drivetrain is staying that way, until I take the time to put in a 6bt cummins, but I'm thinking a crew cab is more worthy for that swap. Bigger tires are a given and I did get a pretty good deal on it.

Do teh air horns work?

My neighbor is putting a '76 SuperCab on an '06 F550 4X4 frame with the PowerStroke...

Cool deal man. My dads 79 truck gets about the same gas millage. It has the 460 though. I like those model trucks

[chitownvic]

Sweety ass truck man love it...this would look cool

[FastGallopingPonies]

Chitown thats a 67-72 model. Nice paint tho.

Scott -I've got power goodies, thankfully

Tiggie- air horns probably would work, its all there just never put air in the tank, but its coming off. I work on tractors all day and the horns are outta place on the 250 and look fugly. maybe relocate behind the grill.

I want to see this in person. Love the look!

[FastGallopingPonies]

Well Nate maybe later this spring when I get it a bit more buttoned up we should have another get together. I'll bring it down. Right now its a bit dirty just got back from pulling retards out of the mud. Couldnt resist some mud slinging myself.
