85lebaront2 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 So did this truck have the 300/6 from the factory? I see there are no left and right side engine mounts like there would be in a Bullnose pickup...just the bellhousing and then a front engine mount. Is that set-up factory or something homegrown. I'm guessing that this thing was a budget build with a big Ebay turbo. When I watched the video, my first impression, other than the impressive power was that it looked exactly like the 1970 F600 dump truck a friend owned. A group of us bought it and donated it to our Boy Scout camp Ranger. It had the HD 300 in it complete with a velocity governor under the Carter YF manual choke carburetor. Those engines are really amazing for the amount of work they can do. At one point a group of were there, and we really should have gotten a picture, we had a number of Ford trucks, every one of which had a 300 in it. Roy Weidmann had an E150 and the dump truck, I had a 1977 F150 with the MD 300 (limited emissions), Tim Smith had a 1990 F150 with a 300. Would have made a heck of a picture. We had all three levels of the 300, LD, MD and HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
