69 4x4 F250

[joesawer]

I just bought a 69 F250 4X4 with a mild 390 and 4 speed. It is old and ugly and rides rough. But it is simple, smog exempt, I'm not afraid to scratch it, and I could by 15 of them for what I paid for my last new truck before financing.

My latest truck is a 1987 Ford F350 4x4 with the 6.9L International.

Man I wish you could still by a diesel like that new. I had a 85 F250 with 6.9 and 4speed, with a high geared rear axle. That truck got 22 mpg, would run faster than it would stay in the road, and pull 20,000lbs goose neck (not all at the same time). It was still running after 600,000 miles. I had a 06 power stroke that was a beautiful, fast, expensive, and complicated (electronic variable turbo vanes?) that was never going to make it to 300,000 miles.
