    I bought it from a friend of my dads. It is a 1970 F-250 sport custom. It has a 360 c6 in it. The body is in ok shape. I originally bought it for a parts truck but I decided to keep it. It came with 4 aluminum wheels. It has not been run in about 2 years becaue the owner was in some trouble. He said it would spin them in 1st and bark 2nd. I gotta clean the carb since dirt dobbers got in it. For $150 I couldn't say no. I hope to mess with it in in week or so when I get over this cold

    F250's probably got at least 3.73s out back. The old 360 might actually be a little peppy with 'em.
