Meet this 1966 F250, that was parked in a tree row after filming John Mellencamp’s (terrible) movie, “Falling From Grace” Acquired through trade of an old Farmall I didn’t want to buy tires for, it’s now a farm staple. Powered by a 6.9L Navistar IDI V8 diesel, bolted to the original NP435 main. I’ve also added an NP205 divorced case, and replaced the 2wd Twin-I-beam with a Dana 60 front to match the Dana 60 rear (both 3.54 ratio). It is a Dodge Dana 60 with CAD, which I’ve fabricated my own cable conversion for. Even all of the body work and paint done by us, mostly the beautiful wife.
It’s not fast, it’s not comfortable, but it can go anywhere and haul anything back…. Eventually.
