Finally got the 66 F250 delivered to the house! The carb is leaking and the fuel tank smells like paint thinner. I need to drain that out and replace the rubber fuel lines. Also the Fuel gage doesn't work and trying to understand the tank switching setup. Anyways Trying to order a Carb rebuild...

This is probably a dumb question. Where does the spare tire go on an F250? Can it be mounted under the back of the bed? I'm looking to buy a 250 but the tire is in the back under a covered wood loft thing under the camper shell. I didn't get a very good look under the bed. It has a tow hitch.

What is a good looking Economical alternative to a 66 wheel? This one has aftermarket 16.5, with 9.5x16.5 bias ply tires.Are the later model 8 lug wheels the same pattern or are they metric? And when might the cutoff year be for a stock ford rim that will fit?

Does anyone know of a resource where I could look up the body width of a 66 ford f250? Also the left to right approximate wheel width. Before I buy a certain f250, I want to see if it is practical getting it through the gate! This one also has the large side mirrors. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi guys, I'm a newb here. I have my eye on a 66 F250. The engine looks original. I'm guessing a 352, however I'm morphing over from the early Ranchero world and need to get my sea legs, er, ranch legs on quick. Not sure what the tranny is. not a C4 :-) it has a large pan.I have a 302 I built...
