My buddy has a 95 F-150 with a 300 in it, and it really is a good motor. I mean if you're into the 6 cylidner thing. And i'm not



The boxiness of the truck can be offset by some decently sized tires

 

Give em hell GOLDPRO ..... Nothing wrong with a 6 banger ... hell im looking for a gen 1 dodge with the 225 slant 6 manual 3 speed 4x4.. hell of a motor..

 

Both the slant six and the inline six were great motors.

My dad had a blue 1992 Ford with the inline six, and it was a stout motor for only six cylinders.

My grandfather had a little John Deere swather with the slant six engine, made by Dodge/Chrysler, and it was also not to be underestimated. I know the "industrial" version of the slant six and inline six were different from the vehicle version, but they were still very similar.

He currently uses a different brand swather (forget the name), but it uses the Ford-made inline six. He likes the little, older swathers... reminds him of his younger days (he's currently in his 70s).

 

Chevy 250 I6 is the best motor out there IMO. I would love it if I could swap out my 360 for one, cheap. But It's not worth it in the big *** 1500 lol.

 

My dads old truck also had a 300 in it, it was a 78 i think. It still runs today with over 200k on it, the body is all rotted out tho

 

Really though, what did all this have to do with dodges???

The gas price thread goes to OT, yet there are five pages on an old truck that is a ford. Then an off shoot on Toyota vs Dodge, and my attempted threadjack. Yet the OP is still on the F150. Dude.


How about this;

The first one is my Uncle Marks REDicoulus six door F550. The second is of my neighbors brand spanking new 2008 F250 Super Duty. Both are 4x4, both would out pull a Tundra. Dude 80's trucks are ugly, sorry, let it die.

Its a dodge forum.

 

Well to be honest Ford trucks have more to do with Dodge trucks than getting good gas mileage has to do with dodge trucks. So I can understand that.

That 6 door truck is different. Would never buy such a thing, but it is different. He should send it in to USA 6x6 and get another axel put on it. Then it'll really be something else.

That F-250 is nice too.

80s trucks might be ugly, but they'll outlast any piece of **** they make now in days unfortunatley. That's why they're still around. Good luck finding a 2008 anything around in 20-30 years. Won't happen.

 

OK, I'm taking back what I said because I'm not going to stoop to that low of a level.

 

Whats the point of this thread........
