    That log pull was insane. Guess it had a custom geared rear end like 8.5 to 1 ratio or something. Those old trucks sure do look good now days. Compared to the current tin can show queen versions of trucks. They need to show trucks doing this kind of thing in New adds. And the Chevy 3+3 cabs are holy grail trucks now.

    When I worked for the US Forest Circus, we used the S10. Big piece of crap, didn’t make one season before it died. The regular cab 1/2 ton 4x4 with the six cylinder and 4 speed held up ok. Just really slow. The one ton dump truck we had, with the 350 v8 and 4 speed was a beast. You couldn’t kill it. And we tried 😎.

      I found the build sheet for my ‘80 F-150 tucked up in the wires under my bench seat when I was reupholstering it. Unfortunately the paper was fragile, crumbled, and blackened. I was able to piece it together like a jigsaw puzzle though. It’s always interesting seeing the factory option codes and knowing exactly how the truck was ordered.

      Didn’t the 80 have a different frame from the 81+ F-150s? If I remember right, Ford was experimenting with a light weight frame design but ditched it in 81.

    • @chumbawaumbacumpa
      @chumbawaumbacumpa 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Ronin Kraut The lighter frames were used for the 80-81 model years, but Ford tweaked them for the 82 model year to be more stiff, due to complaints of frames developing a slight bend in one ton trucks while towing gooseneck trailers. The earlier frames have more circular holes cut out in the rails near the middle of the frame, later ones don’t. Before I put a lift and bigger tires on my truck I was getting 16 mpg highway, and with the 351M.

      That’s right. That’s pretty good mileage for the 351M. My parents had an 80 Bronco when I was born and it was the first vehicle I can remember. It started my long live affair with Ford and Broncos. Around that time the 351M had a bad rep due to the 70’s issues. When I was a teen looking for my first vehicle I can remember my dad saying to find one with the 351W. I ended up getting an 88 Bronco as my high school car. Ahh the memories

You had many customizable options and colors to choose from as well as your choice of transmissions and Engines of your liking.
