I seen your video on that. That did not look easy getting that out of there. I love your pickaroon I'm going to have to find some scrap aluminum at work and bend one up.

New swing!



Nothing is as fun as pulling an oil pan on a 300!



Buddy is skinning an oak to get tannins for home tanning a few deer hides.



Frying said deer at work for lunch!

Yup, for the Fords that didn't leak oil, the pans rusted. I used to be pretty good at changing them. Kind of a bear with the legs of that lift in the way.

I had a short wide '87? (I dont remember?) Ford F150 with the 300 & 5 speed standard years ago.
I loved the 300 but the gas mileage was a deal killer for me.
It was horrible on gas.

A short wide 6 cylinder that had dual tanks from the factory...
I should have connected the dots. Lol

It was a great truck tho, never had a single problem with it.

Mine averages 16mpg. Averaged a solid 19 on my trip last week.

I was getting about 12-13 I figure.
I kinda miss that ole truck, it was in GOOD condition & went on many of long haul hunting trips (had a camper shell to sleep in back).

They had a poll on a car forum years ago (mostly mechanics) as to the best motors ever built & the 300 came in 4th (thousands of votes).
That's pretty good.

I think that's a good spot for these engines. Everybody raves on how bullet proof they are and they last a gazillion miles but they are stupid heavy for the displacement and have no azz. 500 lbs and has 90-160hp. That's not very good.

The 300 was like a tractor engine. Efficient, no. Speed demon, nyet. Lots of torque and hard to kill, yes. Usually used a quart of oil to a tank of gas and would keep running without much oil pressure.

Yes to all except I've never had one use oil. Maybe 1/2quart per 3000 miles. That over 4 different engines all over 100k.

I drove that Ford from Arkansas to Del Norte Colorado Elk hunting once (14 hour drive).
A lot of snow, I had new AT tires put on before I left.

Drove everywhere in the back country there, no problem.
Got back to Arkansas & backed up to my storage shed to unload some camping gear & got stuck in my yard!
Had to call my neighbor to bring his tractor to pull me out! Lol

That could only happen to me!

Mine were pretty tired, but never let me down.
