Ah, more like 17RWHP. If you want some serious power, bed stripes are the only way .... or so I hear.

No, no s4...

I'll give you a hint. It has a 360....





















A 1969 F250 4x4 with a 360ci. It's been in a shed out back on our land for about 20 years. I want to see if I can get her running this summer. If I do, I want to get it in a little better condition. Brakes, PS swap, and just getting it to run smooth are on the top of my priorities.

thats pretty sweet... someday I want to have a 70s F250/350 or Bronco WITH the 360, those ford engines are good. I like that generation the most I think. But of course I'll still have the Dakota lol.

Yeah I love old Ford trucks. Especially the F250/350s. I'm going to go down tomorrow and see if it turns over with a 15/16 socket and a breaker bar. If she does, I think I'll be in good shape.

Thats my favorite generation. All of Ford's trucks look pretty good, except the 80s. Ford really screwed up in the 80s with their trucks and those ugly 5.0 mustangs. Sorry to anyone if theyre a fan of them.

Yeah the F250s and 350s are the best. I saw a 77 F250 custom with like a 6 foot flatbed for sale and I had to stop and look at it haha. But yeah let us know if it turns over or not youre lucky to have that opportunity, even if she doesnt turn over right now.

And yeah my dad had an early 70s f350 flatbed dually back when he was in high school. Too bad I never got to see it, just pictures of it.

Yeah I didnt care for the 80s and yes I think the fox body stangs are fugly looking also lol But then the 90's style trucks came out and I liked them a lot better than the 80's. We had a 93 f250 5.8 v8 5 speed plain jane truck it was basically our work/plow truck. I remember when I was younger comin home from camp with wood stacked to the top of the cab roof how we ever made it home without loosing a piece I dont know. My dads company bought it as a maintance truck just for runnin parts back and forth to shops I still see it time to time and still looks good surprisingly

They did finally make it better in the 90s again, those ones are alot better than the 80s. And plain is always cool too, its a truck after all. I've always wanted to track down that F350 flatbed, but odds are its a hunk of metal in some junkyard by now.
