My 1966 f250 with the 300 six, four speed T18 Warner granny four speed and 4.10 rear really wind up that engine. When my dad drove it he really never went over 55 mph.
I guess they needed the 4.10s with the six, but with a granny gear and all the torque I really don't see why. Having a highway gear would have been a little more helpful, but back then trucks were used around town way more often than they are used for everyday transportation like today.
Holy AWESOME She sure does look tall. I'm sure she will settle once there is plenty of weight on her. She is gonna look good I'm getting excited. Thanks for this cool video.
That rear looks like its wide. Hopefully your wheels won't be sticking out beyond the truck bed. Not a big fan of lifted vehicles, personally I prefer a lower center of gravity. Hope the rear of your transmission is at 10 degrees so it matches what you've done with the rear angle. Looks awesome, enjoying this project
The van rear is within about 3/4" of the original rear. It's a beefier axle tube with way bigger brakes so a definite upgrade. I think I screwed the pinion up, but once the drivetrain is in I'll fix it. Never had a lifted 4x4 before so I'm looking forward to that.

Thanks Ray. I think its going to be pretty cool.
Page 2, cutting a larger garage door!!! Let's hope NOT!! Will it fit? Can't wait to see.
I'm a little nervous!
Looks really good. Great work as usual.
The frame is coming together nicely, nice work!
Thanks. It's taller than I thought it was going to be!
Or raise the pinion up 8degrees and level the purches.
Too bad you didn't have a new big building to work out of. Oh wait, you do. 😆
I did...until I filled it full of junk!

Nice!
Thanks!
What did you put on frame? Looks good.
In this video it has been sandblasted and painted with Eastwood Rust Encapsulator Plus and then topped with Rustoleum flat black
That is a Dana 60 HD maybe?
It's a Dana 60 out of a 1998 E350.
It came out of my 8600 GVW van
@@QuickSpeedShop Sorry. Yeah the 1 ton has the HD. I have a D200 75. Just put in a TCI trans.
