I bought this truck new in 1978 and it's on it's second engine, mileage about 280,000, second transmission and third transfer case. It goes through U~Joints, (it has six of them) more often than I think it should. It came from factory with a 2bbl and at the time Warranties were only 12,000 miles or 12 months. So after warranty ran out I put an Edelbrock intake and a Holley 600cfm and gave me noticeable more HPApr 26, 2013

love everything about it..its been a great truck and a fun one to restore. ford nailed it when they built this style of truck when it comes to body lines, the truck looks, how it rides for being a 3/4 ton and the performance...nothing i dont love about itFeb 18, 2010

One of the most reliable trucks I've ever had, all
The original equipment still works from factory. A/C, radio, speedo and gauges, lights. Not a luxury vehicle but a good dependable work horse. Wouldn't ever trade for any other work truck.Nov 19, 2008

Been Around for 30 years. Dad bought it new in 78. Has a built 460 w/ C-6. Dana 60's F/R 4:10 Gears. Done everything you could think of and some you cant. Old Fords are the best Run Forever. Best Manufacturer. Fords forever. First On Race Day.Oct 28, 2008

Fuel in the air cleaner
I have a 1978 Ford F250 with a 351 Modified engine. I has the engine rebuilt professionally a year ago (about 6k miles). Recently, it started running rough and backfiring when accelerating hard. I changed the whole ignition system including installation of an HEI distributor, plugs, wires. It runs stronger, but still not right, like it's only running on 7 cylinders and still backfires when accelerating hard. I set the floats in the Edelbrock carb and adjusted the jets, and again, it runs better, but still weak and backfires on acceleration. I noticed yesterday that the air cleaner was soaked with raw fuel and then noticed it appears that it is spraying fuel mist out of the top of the carb rather than sucking it in. Any ideas, because I'm running out of them quickly and I hate to think something has failed in the motor...
