DelFAB's 1966 Ford F250 4x4 - 7.3L Godzilla Swapped

What a great truck!

I bet that old man is looking down happy to see his truck still doing work.

Gotta love old Ford trucks. I love the crew cab. Those crew cab trucks back then, were usaully work trucks, so fit and finish wasn't high on the list. Back in the day, workers called them a 'crummy'...

I have two 66s. One is a short bed step side F100 2wd. It came factory as a 240 3 on the tree. I drove it all over the country as a 460, Mustang 4 speed. The 460 gave up the ghost at just shy of 250k miles on it. When it finally makes it back in the shop, a 428 is gonna take it's place.

The other truck is 66 F100 sheet metal on a 76 HighBoy frame. When the 360 got tired, it went to a 460 30 over, truck 4 speed, and the married transfer case. A three inch body lift, Dana 60's front and rear, all sitting on 38.5 monster mudders. I'm over 6 foot tall, and have to get on tip toe, to see in the bed.


Thanx for sharing your story

Great looking truck.iam glade he didn't install a Chevy engine in it.

You better put in a 6.7 that Truck deserves it?

Perfect truck. Don’t ever sell it.

Damn

Hi beautiful truck! I gotta 64. WHERE’D U GET THAT TOPPER??

HOW MUCH?

Seen truck up at the Goodguys show in Washington . Really nice build . The camper on the back really nice .

That is the coolest truck topper I've ever seen and the only crew cab 66 I've ever seen bad ass

How can you not like this truck?

Love it

I love these old trucks. I have a 1984 K20 with the new trucks costing $50,000 for a two-wheel drive. These old trucks are going to get much, much more popular. They're cheaper and better

What a cool truck. I appreciate his decisions to make it what it is... with changes in the future.

Have a 2005 Ford Crown Vic PI. I swapped out a 4.6 and put in a 5.0 Coyote V8 and put in a Ford 6R80 Automatic replace the 4 Speed Automatic with Overdrive

People forget trucks were farm equipment. People drove cars. A lot of trucks didn't even have locks on the doors.

I just can’t see how the Godzilla 7.3 performed worse that the 5.0 Coyote engine

Love it. Turbo that old 300 six.

Great story on this truck. I bought a 66 k10 and the same thing happened where the family wrote a letter and told me the history of the owner and the truck.
My plan was to restore it but I like the patina.

Put the wrong motor in it smh… should of put a built turbo diesel in it

Turbo the six banger and reinstall

This needs a FE

What controller is he using for the 6R140? I haven’t heard if the US Shift Quick 6 kit will work with it.

Man I'm glad he didn't LS or Cummins swap it, that's such a cookie cutter thing to do. I am also superised to hear the Godzilla doesn't handle towing as good as the 5.0L Coyote. As a Coyote F-150 owner I love it to death but I would have assumed the 7.3L Godzilla would tow like a freight train by comparison.

In the Immortal words of George Jones ... "Well, hey ole timer" ... "who's gonna fill their shoes"
Great Tonka.

very nice truck but you have destroyed it with modern bs and plus a auto just destroyed it my 65 f 250 highboy 4x4 all original 4 speed with the 352 best truck made done stuff that would snap frames on modern trucks the nice thing about these trucks is the ease of working on them and keeping them going and you have removed that its so sad my original truck is worth more because its all original

This guy has extremely good taste in trucks.

Love the truck my dad had a 65 3/4 ton camper special 2wd white good times

What a sweet truck! Now, we need an explanation as to why the dude doesn't like the Godzilla much and prefers the Coyote.

What tires does he have on this rig?

I wonder if he’s getting full throttle with that pedal setup.
I’ve driven a Godzilla and the torque and power rocks!

Beautiful

Absolutely beautiful!

Trucks these days are ugly and disposable in comparison.

I had a beat 65' F-150 2wd. that I swapped the worn-out 352 for a Olds "Rocket" 350, that fit right in, even the dent in the firewall cleared the dist! Talk about something that would smoke the tires at 60 MPH! It was a real handfull.

Building what you want, how can that be crazy?

4.9 turbo

Bed is getting roached by the exhaust

inline 6 turbo go back to the original and boost that biiiotccch

Are you selling it..Old marine corps veteran in Washington state..

sweet

That was one of Americans work horses best ford truck they came out with a 352ci V8 and they hade a 4x4 setup but the trucks were geared low for pulling hay trailer and feed out in field's.

That's my kind of truck no electronics or emissions crap

This is an amazing truck. Thanks for sharing it his one. It’s honestly a toss up between this and Dukes 1965 for me. Do you know of a slick side crew cab for sale?

Whats up with the dudes up in PNW talking like they got railed all throughout college? WTF

He should put a 7.3 diesel or 6.7 diesel in the version 3.

Did you build that camper or find it like that love that crome or polish metal

I have never wanted anything more than that canopy! My god. It's gorgeous. The whole truck is gorgeous
