I will be getting this truck!!! Well as soon as i get a job and some money I WILL get it!

Its a 1967 Ford F-350 Long Box Flare-Side!!

It has a 360 in it...and I'm not sure on the tranny but i know its a manual...

How are 360's? I don't really hear much on them...

The owner told me i could have it for $1,000!!! I think its a good deal!

I was told that this truck is rare...what do Y'all think?

 

[flareside_thunder]

Sweet!!!! I've never seen one like that so maybe it is rare......360 is a decent engine and made half way decent power. It's another FE engine. How's the rust on it?

Okay, cool!! It aint too rusty...considering it's always been a Michigan truck that has been driven during the winter!

Id pull that rubber mat up and check the floors for rust. The 360s an ok motor if your just gonna use it for a cruiser but if ya want to tow anything or burn tires with it then get a 390 to put in there. Trannys probly a np435 4 speed. Id also check the vin on it to see if its actually a 350 if it is itll start with f35.

I forgot that 67s didnt come with 360s if its factory itll be a 352 if its been swapped in there it could be any kind of FE the best way to tell is pull out a spark plug and turn the motor over by hand with a long dowel in the hole and hold it tight against the top of the piston. Mark the dowel at TDC and BDC and then measure the marks thatll tell ya how long the stroke is. If its 3.5 inches its a 352 or 360, if its 3.78 inches its a 390, 406 or 427, 3.98 inches its a 410 or 428. Thats the best way to tell what ya have. Its probly a 352 judgin by all the grime on it.

My bad!! Its a '68!!

Alright them did have 360s as an option they also had 390s so check the vin for either and H or a Y and thatll tell ya. H is a 390 and Y is a 360. I wouldnt trust the air cleaner cause who knows wether its been swapped after that many years. Itll be the letter right after f35.

Its a Y code, so it is the original 360! The website that i found this on says the 360 has 215 HP...how much TQ does it produce?

 

[1985 Ford F-150]

Not sure but probly around 350-375 range its got alot more than what your used to with that 302 but a 390 will kill it.

WOW!!

Oh yeah, I forgot to add that the truck has less than 100,000 miles on it! I think it has like 90,000 or something on it...

How many times has it rolled over though.

Cody, now not trying to question ya but how are you so for sure? is just based of the current owners word? how long has this guy owned it? how is he so sure the owner before him didnt lie to him?

I don't think he is lying, or has been lied too...the truck has always been in his family.

ok............ its still kinda iffy IMO.

The best way to know is to drive it and see if stuff acts like its got 100,000, 200,000 or more. Feel how the tranny shifts how noisy the rear end is how good the motor runs and stuff like that. If its got better than 200,000 that motors gonna be weak and probly burn oil. Give it a tune up if it needs it grease the bearings change the oil in the tranny, diff and motor, check the shoes and drums. Check the brake fluid condition and how good the master cylinder works. Another good indicator of general condition is the weather strippin in the doors and the seals around the windows if its hard and rotten its probly been sittin for some time and not driven. Another one is the seat springs and heater controls if the seats got low spots in it then its probly had quite a few more miles put on it than advertised if the heater controls are excessivly loose then theyve been used alot. Also check the kingpins to see if theyre sloppy, check the suspension for broken leaves on the leaf springs.

Nothing really to add here...but that thing is pretty sweet...and it does in fact have my favorite bed.
