dasbulliwagen Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Do you guys know anything about these? Its a long bed stepside with a 292 Y block with a 4 speed manual and divorced transfer case. Its not drivable but seems to be complete. I've found out that Ford started in house production of these 4x4's in 1959. Beyond that I don't know much. This would not be an MJ parts donor. Its too rare and valuable for that. Just looking for some opinions and experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyav8r Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 If the body is good and all the pieces are there, go for it. I had a 64 F100 2WD with the 6 cylinder (probably the 292), 3 on the tree and a ton of miles on it that was a good solid truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 The 292 Y block is an early Ford v8. I pretty sure I'm getting it. I'm actually trading my bike for it. I haven't ridden in 6 years so its just been sitting. If the truck is solid it should be a decent trade. I'll see it in person next week. The guy originally wanted me to trade my Comanche but that ain't happening. Anybody know any good old ford truck forums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 my go-to for ford truck questions was usually ford-trucks.com but I see their 60-era subforum is pretty thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 I got the beast home. Its in a little worse condition than I imagined before seeing it. Nothing that can't be fixed with my Hobart and some scrap metal. It has bias ply tires on 16x4 rims, 9 inch rear end and what appears to be some sort of closed knuckle Dana in the front. The chassis is solid though but the brake lines all need to be re done. One of them got busted strapping it down to the trailer and leaked brake fluid all over. I'll try to load a couple pics pretty soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
