1966 Ford F100 Resto Project

Just some of the work I've done to my truck so far. At the moment it is gutted inside, prepping for paint. The bed is gone because it was crap and I found a good replacement.

Also if you want to buy this truck/work in progress/project, I'm asking $3000.

what do you get for gas milage for the f100? its a 352 correct?

[megawes5]

@13dawsonc2 No, My truck came with a 240 inline 6 cyl. According to others with my similar setup I should be in the 15 - 17 mpg range. Pretty sure a 352 would be around 10 - 12 mpg.

Sweet video. I used the Offenhauser on my 1972 and also put a Holly 4 barrel on it. It was amazing the pick up it added to my little I6.

@toddthorne I wish I knew what it felt like. I haven't driven this truck in over 5 years. It sits in storage awaiting a paint job.

@TheSpartan2235 they,re great motors, my 90 f150 had the straight 6 with the 5 speed and it was at 450,000 and ran great.

@watutman Oh, and I forgot to mention, always get a hotter range of spark plug than the "books" tell you. I get the best results from AC brand, and a hotter range.

@megawes5 I have a 66 f100 with a 352, same color as this. I get 16 mpg on the freeway. You have to get the point gap and dwell exactly right. That is critical with old Fords.

@zzpatrick1 i agree lol i got the 352 cleveland with a double barrel carb... gets very crappy mileage to be a DD... but this truck is very dependable.... been in my family since 74 and is still runnin like a champ and knows how to get the job done

[zzpatrick1]

My 66' has a 352 in it and it gets about 8 mpg. lol but its a real dependable truck.

[TheSpartan2235]

engine looks great and the straight 6 is a great motor.
