Allan, I have a Studebaker with a flatbed that runs out real good. fair tires, and not to much rust. Does smoke some when ye back off the gas on a down hill run, but that just lubes the valves, so it don't really hurt nothing. speakin of backin off the gas, you might need to do that a little ways before you get to where you want'a stop, the brakes are a tad short on stroke, and speakin of brakes and down hill runs, now and then, she will pick up a high speed wobble up around 35-40, no big deal though, you just tap the brakes 4-5 times and she will get right with the program.

And as to the F350's, the Ford trucks have been the most trouble free trucks i've ever owned, and thats all I'll say about that.
