The vary best Ford truck i ever had was the 73 F250 4x4 But not the way it came from the factory . The 360 sucked in many ways including gas mileage and power . Fixed that by dumping a 428 SCJ under the hood along with revamping the C 6 tranny a bit by building it with six disc and plates and a trans go shift kit.The weak point was the Danna 44 hd ft axle as we would eat the spider gears . But back then the kit was cheap at 29 bucks my cost and took about three hours to change .Fuel mileage with the 428 was a lot better then the 360as i gained 5 MPG with the super snake .My buddy had a F250 just like mine but his was a 4 speed with no P/S we pulled his engine and used his block and installed a 390 crank with 67 390 GT pistons and rods and a set of GT heads and med rise 4bbl intake along with a 428 SCJ cam lifters . His weak points were the ft rear end same as mine and the short drive shaft between the trans and transfer case his fuel mileage was a bit better them mine was at 16-17. we probably would not have had the problems we did have IF we would not have been doing dumb things with the trucks like four wheeling off road pulling things we should not have been pulling .Mine was the best plow truck i ever had. The worst Ford was the 78 , ya know that when you buy a new truck that it is a SUN KISSED LEMON when it does not even make it home from the dealership and has to be towed back there the night ya TRIED to take it home ( LEMON LAWS were not in affect at that time). Out of the first 12 months while under warranty it spent four at the dealer 5 yes five transmission 7 alternators five traction loc rear ends two engines five power steering pumps ( they would BLOW ) and blow so bad that all that was left were the mounting bolts.and we will not get into the Myers Snow Plow that came with it , it was a good plow as long as it was not snowing. When the warranty ran out that is when the truck got some mods done to it like a 460 a hand built C6 Then and only then was it a good truck till it got totaled .
