Post by 63lokinup »

like a little info , picked up a 78'F250 Costom 300 inline 6 with a c6 trans. not a speck of rust minor scrap few dings. just about ready to turn 69,000 got dual tanks an trans. cooler and electric cooling fan. and the thing has air from the factory. how is this thing going to tow a starcraft pop up tent trailer the trailer is a little old 77' a little heavy? any info would be great.

Doesnt sound like a Bad Truck at all, When I was young My Dad hauled a big heavy 1970 Orion 20 foot pull behind camper trailor. which is a damn big camper and heavy compared to your Tent trailor, behind a 1978 F150 half ton short bed. We had a custom built hitch and equalizers to do this otherwise the short wheelbase caused all kinds of havock lol
so your F250 should tow that Trailor just fine

Wont be an issue at all change trans fluid and go have fun. That 300 6cyl has some good grunt to get moving.
