Faults:

CA truck; the original owner died aged 95. The truck sat in his driveway (CA High Desert) till I got it.

Replaced all normal stuff - gas tanks, lines, pumps, 4 barrel Holley, brakes redone - lines, master, pads, drums, rotors etc.

New tires, wheels lifted 4 inches in front to give the look of a 4 wheel drive.

Tune up - wires, coil plugs, distributer cap, rotors etc.

General Comments:

Fastest hotrod I've ever driven stock (I've built a few). Just a pleasure to drive.

Recently drove 1000 miles to Fl with a loaded trailer. Best towing vehicle I've ever owned (except my F450 RV).

Really gets a lot of comments in gas stations, and looks rolling anywhere.

MPG is 8, and put your foot in it and it's less.

Faults:

Power steering pump after sitting for two years.

Radiator after a towing accident.

Several batteries until upgraded to a 700ca.

Heavy duty starter.

C6 transmission rebuild.

General Comments:

This truck was my Grandfathers' and passed on to me for use as a horse hauling rig. In this aspect it has performed perfectly and never failed to pull any load I asked.

It has been used to pull bumper pull, goose-neck, and fifth wheel trailers up to 45 feet in length.

The Supercab provides an extremely roomy and comfortable space for up to 6 passengers.

The factory dual tanks provide plenty of gas to feed the 7.5 liter engine which only allows for approximately 10 miles per gallon.

The Ford power steering pumps seem to have a continuous noise that requires a little getting used to.

Over all I may have lucked into this truck, but it is one of the greatest work vehicles around.

Faults:

Replaced radiator.

Repaired rear brakes.

Repaired gas tank switch.

Replaced starter.

Repaired transmission leaks.

Leaks oil (but that can be fixed).

General Comments:

It shows some wear, but who wouldn't after 170K+ miles? I love this truck!

I tow my horses and my travel trailer all over with it and it's always on its feet. It's perfectly geared for towing, and the 460 power is exceptional - just rest your toe on the throttle and it jumps!

It gets really bad mileage, of course, but I can buy a lot of gas with the money I save on a car payment for a comparable new truck. Averaged out, I've spent approx $600.00/year to maintain it. I can live with that!
