Highboy can haul!

Picked up a "free" '98 Dodge with title that needs a fuel pump the other day. However my '08 and '79 dually I have down here are stuck in snow in the back yard, so lets see if the ole '74 F-250 can do a pull. Plenty of power from the 360, didn't even need granny on the fresh install of the NP435 from a C6 swap, good handling, but stopping without a brake controller and four drum brakes not a warm and fuzzy feeling.

Not sure if it is a 318 or 360.







Already has a headstart on gettin' a new fuel pump.

Thanks.

Fooled around with the pump, and it runs and sprays fuel on me when hooked to a battery. Fuel pump relay swaps with the horn relay and honks the horn, now have to find where the break in power is.

My plan tomarra is to get the wiring figured out, tank back in, and deliver running to a new owner who wants it.

I'd say three at the most.

Are you just giving it away or selling it?

Man, that 74' is bad ***. Cool pics, seems unlike you to be buying something other than a Ford truck.

Well it ain't the pump as it sprays fuel on me hot wired to a battery. Time to shoot some wires.
