I Bought A Big ’Ol Truck. Is The Motor Toast? 1983 Ford F250
After years of hauling engines (and one motorcycle) in the trunks of sedans, I finally bought a truck. A rusty 1983 Bullnose Ford F250, 4 speed, 4 wheel drive. The best part? The “invincible Ford 300“ engine. Too bad this one sounds like it’s about to blow to pieces. Nonetheless, the truck pulled itself home and the engine’s still ticking. I was a hair away from throwing in a used engine until I checked off every box and found that this motor may not be bad after all. This is just the tip of the iceberg on this rig, plenty more videos of it to come.
