The truck looks great! Stock running gear, or did you play some? Sorry if you had a build thread and I've forgotten....Roger

It has a 460/C-6 now and I dont think I had a build thread on here,probably should have put a 351-W/AOD in it but could not pass up a rebuilt motor and trans for 500 dollars.

Wow! It ought to scoot with a 460 if you can get it to hook up!! Sounds very cool! Maybe a few more pictures when you get time??

Wow, that was my impression of your truck when I saw the photo, a very nice very clean restored truck and then reading down the posts, I think, holy smolly, a sleeper or a wolf dressed like a lamb. That will certainly give the odd " Boy Racer " a fright at the traffic lights when you step on the loud pedal.
I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

Great looking truck & looks "Done" to me. Bet that 460 passes everything but a gas station out on the road. Makes me miss my 66 ford pu, was a well worn 2wd, 6 cylinder a very sloppy top loader in it w/about 250,000 on the meter when I got rid of it. By the time it was passed around among friends and left the area it had a 460 w/a 4x4 drive train in it.Donate Blood,Plasma,Platelets & sign your DONORS CARD & SAVE a LIFE

The truck looks great, Jeff!! I also have a '66 but mine is a F100 shortbed. I'm sure yours will run circles around my little 5.0/AOD but I'm guessing you get to visit the gas stations more often, too.....

Yes it likes a little fuel and I am going to tune it and get overdrive to see if I can get about 16 to 18 out of it empty and not towing,around town its a little better then the original 352 but have not had it on the highway much. I am on the FTE and Slick60s forums.

Yeah, I thought the truck looked familiar. I'm on both, too. Originally Posted by junkyardjeff

If the 460 is a later model(post 73) you can up the performance and economy by using a earlier crank gear and advance the cam the 8 degrees they retarded it for smog-
