1966 Ford F 250 Frame Off Resto 545ci Wow 26127 Miles
Take a close look at this 1966 Ford F250. This truck has been through a comprehensive frame-off restoration. Of course that involved extensive exterior, interior, and mechanical work. But it also included a number of upgrades such as a Crown Victoria cradle swap, Gear Vendors overdrive, and a monster 545ci engine. It all comes together in a fabulous looking truck that has stump-pulling torque yet rides as comfortably as a new car.This is definitely not your average old pickup. To begin, this project started with an Arizona truck that was clean and dry throughout. It still retains all its original sheetmetal. After being stripped down and prepped, the body was professionally painted a brilliant silver from tip to tail. It was given the roll pan treatment in back along with new chrome, trim, and emblems throughout. Note the factory tool box on the right side of the bed. There are also aluminum Torque Thrust wheels that look absolutely perfect with the rest of the truck.This Ford was originally built with a Y-code 352ci engine. While there’s nothing wrong with that, it wasn’t going to make the cut for this project. Instead a new motor was built, that being a 460 Ford that was stroked to a mammoth 545 cubic inches. It was built for the street, so while there is prodigious torque and great power, it also starts and idles just fine and runs on pump gas. It has a very healthy sound through the 3” custom exhaust, but it is also equipped with electric cutouts if that’s not enough for you. The transmission is a rebuilt Ford C6 that has been fitted with a Gear Vendors overdrive unit, making this pickup very highway friendly. The rear end is a limited slip Ford 9” with 3.50 gears. The engine cradle has been replaced with that from a late model Crown Victoria along with a bit of custom work. This gives a much improved front suspension along with an upgrade to power rack and pinion steering and power disc brakes. The rear suspension has been lowered as well.
