So buy a 300 and hop it up, sell the 351 running as is, jam the 300 in... now we're talking business! Probably similar performance and superior fuel economy for those long trips, plus the good old stump-puling torque that only a big-ole six can provide.

I bought a 1966 F-100 with the 300 inline 6. It had been sitting behind a barn for more than a decade.. and used for target practice! I brought a new battery, a can of WD-40, and a small piece of emery cloth for the points..(just in case) Put air in the dry rotted tires and less than an hour later, drove it home (with no brakes and a horrendously sloppy 3 on the tree manual) I paid $250.00 for the truck and went thru most of it cleaning it up. You can't kill that 300-6! To this day I still have a king pin (from that truck) in my tool box I use as a drift.

Some people only look at horse power..... But with almost double the horse power in torque is what makes it a work horse ..

Time for the 300 online six. I just purchased a 78 250 with a flat bed for a grand.

“Ran when parked” 😂my favorite

I drove a '65 in high school. And no, it wasn't in the 70's. I graduated in 1991. My dad traded a trailer to it that he built. He said he had three nights' work and $27.00 in it. He sold the bed off the first day home for $90. Put a flatbed and dual wheels on it and painted it with a brush. From twenty feet away she was slick. From five feet she was rougher than a night in jail. I could write a book about that truck but the statute of limitations is not up yet on most of it. Can't wait to see more on this truck.

Love that truck. Yall keep going and do those upgrades. I have a 64 F350 also and it has the 292 Y-block V8 and is a Custom Cab so it has the alumium grill and stainless trim around windshield. I would love to do what yall mentioned, lower it,Air conditioning, fuel injection and got to have stacks,cab lights and air horn!!!!

Luv it. Great shop truck, with a few tweaks. Nothing crazy just good brakes, reliable engine, New tires.

Anyone else find it glorious that a modern day f350 dually hauled the f350 dually lol

Perfect truck...i wish i have it here in Greece

240/300 swap. O/D. Front disk brakes w/ dual brake master cylinder. Fuel injection and electronic ignition. Otherwise keep the patina and classic look. My dad had a 1966 F250 longbed back in the very early 70s. 292 y block 4 speed. This episode brought back childhood memories. 👍

Awesome episode 💯 lovin the little shop truck

Derek would’ve driven it home 1000 miles….as is…..lol

This reminds me of a truck my boss had for a bit. 1991 Ford F-250 with the classic inline 6 and EFI. Ran about like this engine does. Not much power but that engine refused to die despite electrical issues in the EFI system. It was always fun to drive.

Great show. Awesome old truck this should be interesting to see what happens next

Wouldn't I love to have found one of these, and an F-350 too,....you lucky dogs! Great idea to have Pat pick the 'new' engine,... I'm hoping he decides on the 300 in-line.

Never heard of a 233 is it the same assembly that eventually became the 300 ?

Growing up we had a 1969 F-350 4x4 that my Dad had bought in the early 70's. It had a 12' flat bed from the factory and had the NAPCO 4x4 as well. Came from the factory with a 360 I believe however after Dad had bought it but before he picked it up the dealer was trying to start it and kept backfiring the engine and trashed the original. So Dad had them a new 390 short block in it. Most of my memories of the truck were when it had a 302 in it. The heads on the 390 started needing work so dad pulled them then needed the truck so pulled the 390 and dropped a running 302 in it. That engine blew on us in the middle of Chicago and Dad and my uncle and some friends pulled it and put in one out of a junk yard in a Kmart parking lot. I loved that truck but unfortunately Dad sold it for scrap before I could buy it from him. Maybe someday I'll be able to find one like it that won't cost me a kidney and half a liver.

You and mark are a good team I like the guy as I would imagine most other people do too

i have this same truck. mine was a road service truck as well. 5.89:1 rear gears. drove it home 30 miles with no hydraulic brakes, just compression braking and the trans lever brake on the rear of the transmission. and they are right, no radio because you are busy driving the truck. and that rear suspension is brutal by the way.

i had a 62 F250 unibody ford...with the big 240ci 6cyl...3 on the tree.....it was a good driver....5:13 gears...it felt like it could pull a house down...top speed was 45mph. i traded it for a 72 firebird formula....which got traded off for a 61 chev biscane...and so on.....

This truck needs that 300-6 that you all built. I don't know if the turbo version of that engine has been done yet or not but that's exactly what needs to go into the F-350. Nothing like a 300-6 turbo under the hood pumping out tons of torque. If it were me I would do dual turbos and dual exhaust with a air to water intercooler.

There are a coupla guys that built a really cool 300 I6 that would rock this truck!

For very little money you could install a brake power booster, and a dual master cyl and have power drum brakes which work way better. Didn't see the wheel cylinders replaced or the master cylinder.

And add lowass diff gears and gearvendor to give extra forward gears and highway economy

V8 Big Block 😉 👍

20:05 That black crossover cut that corner real close to the truck! Now the question is, who had right of way? The Ford was in motion when this occurred. So did black crossover go out of turn? Or did the PowerNation guys do a "Rolling Stop"? Would've been a bad day if they made contact!

What a bonus with thst aluminum radiator

Adjust the steering box before you side swipe someone! I had a 64 like that one 25 years ago and I made it steer a lot better by adjusting it .

I'd say a nice buildup of the stock engine or let a 460 find its way under the hood. This thing is so cool though. What a find.👍

Those 300 sixes are good engine.

OTTO WHERE'S THE SCHOOL 🚌 😆 🤣 😂

I find it quite hilarious that you say the drum brakes on that truck are inadequate when that braking system is what that truck operated on for fifty years. There’s nothing wrong with drum brakes as long as you maintain and adjust everything properly.

I say an nv 4500 for the overdrive it would be so easy to make that four-wheel-drive it's already leaf spring front end don't go crazy jacking it up some 350 gear ratio and some nice 33s it needs to be shortened a little with a nice steel flatbed⛽🇺🇸
