I think someone has done that as it would run circles around another 460 I had.

It has been converted to a 1/2 ton and is much better on the highway and rides much better too,it also got disc brakes and front and rear sway bars during the conversion too. I was hoping it would have helped with the fuel consumption but it did not.

Haha!!! Just reviewed the thread and realize I already told you all this! LOL!
However, FWIW, I drove the truck to Phoenix last weekend. First tank at 65mph I got 19.1mpg. Second tank with cruise control (yes I added that) set on 75mph, bucking a headwind I still got 17mpg. I was ok with that....;-)Last edited by randyr; 10-25-2015 at 11:19 AM.

Now that its not going to be doing all the towing and hauling I was planning I think a 351-W and AOD might be better for how I will be driving it.

I am using stock steel type rims with 65 galaxie bottle caps,the rears I got are fom Summit and are 8 inches wide and with the 31-10.5 tires fill up the rear wheel wells just fine. Stock width rims on the 68 f100 9 inch just stuck in way too far for me

I ran 15x8's all the way around on mine with 31-10.5 rear and 235/75/15 fronts for a long time. About 10 months ago I lowered the truck with DJM drop beams and switched to 17x7 front, 17x9 rear steelies with factory style bottle caps. I like it a lot.
