If there is one thing I know for true and for certain, it is what this guy is telling me right here.
The best ones were married to a 4-speed manual transmission and a granny gear. Want to haul a cattle trailer to the sale barn with a load of heifers? No problem. Need to get an overloaded hay trailer out of a field? No sweat. Oh, there was sweat in the hay field, but the engine could handle it.
The Ford 300 cubic inch straight six was a beast. Bulletproof, reliable, It was the perfect engine for a pickup truck. Your do-it-all, around-the-farm rig.
My son has one in his barn, promising to rebuild it and put it in a clunker. I can't wait to see it growl back to life.
