Gotta love those old 70's heavy trucks. So ugly, yet so beautiful. Back when trucks did one thing and one thing only: haul heavy shit from point a to point b. They didn't mess around back then! My friend had a '63 Ford F300 (I think) with the 292 V8 and 3 speed. He actually twisted the driveshaft in half hauling a load of concrete. Either that driveshaft was weak, or that truck had gobs of torque. I'm inclined to believe the latter!

@sledheadchris this is very odd because ford had a contract with cat i drive a truck that looks just like that and it has the 3208 v8 engine.

Sweet rig! Is that a Detroit Diesel? It's kinda hard to tell without hearing the lopey idle, but I want to say that it is. Were many Fords made with the Detroit? I'd think that with Detroit Diesel being a General Motors company back then, they'd shy away from being used in Ford... Tell me if I'm wrong.

@Pigs3differentones i dont know to much history but yeah it s a detroit (8v71) but i thought they would have kept away from general motors. but ths is the original motor.
