86 12 Brutus Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 Fords doing what they do best. In this one we had to move this 1960 Fleetside to get access to the 1965 Malibu. The Fleetside was guarding the door to the barn where the Malibu was stashed. Brought the Fleetside back that day to be restored. Took the Malibu to storage that day and went back to get it months later so it can be restored. Back the day, had 2 460 engines in the bed towing a trailer with a 69 GTX. A friend was in his fathers Dodge Ram with 2 440 blocks in the back, the Dodge died, the truck pushed the Dodge with the engines in the back, the engines in the back of ours with the GTX on the trailer and did not strain 1 bit.

That 300 is a real workhorse. 💪 From stationary irrigation pumps to farm trucks, it just does the job without complaint (for years and years) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the 300 is a workhorse! As for "back in the day", those were my days. In fact, I have a '69 Bee, sorta the little brother to the GTX, although they are Dodge and Plymouth, in that order.

The 300 is a gentle giant and has a “personality” that I really like. You are doing a nice job with your truck 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
