Hi,
My name is Peter from Victoria Australia.
I recently purchased a Silver/Black 1983 F250 SuperCab with an all steel dropside tray. USA build converted here to Right Hand Drive I believe sometime in the 80's
It is fitted with a 5.8L/351C (Duel Fuel Petrol/Gas & LPG/Propane) with C6 out of the last of the Ford LTD's built in Queensland Australia. JH71YG engine code. JH Eagle Farm Queensland, 71=LTD, Y=1981 & G=August.
It was originally fitted with the 6.9 Diesel but after some major issues was replaced some time back in the 80's with the 351.
I am currently preparing it for a Roadworthy & new Rego as it has been off the road since 2017.
I does run & drives nicely & will be even nicer on the road after I had a steering gearbox complete overhaul.
Looking forward to this community of Bullnose Enthusiast.
Cheers
Peter

Yes, welcome! Glad you joined.

And that is a nice truck. Hope you'll start a thread in the main section to tell us more about it and let us follow your work and journeys on it.

Would you like to be on our map? You can see it at Bullnose Forum/Member's Map and you'll see that you aren't the only Aussie here.
