there has been nothing wrong with the transmissions Ford has used in the Superduty line

@PetroleumJunkie412 would disagree with that statement.

Where the hell did he go anyways? I havnt heard anything about glyptal paints, ball tugging, or how to tug on your balls with glyptal paint in weeks it seems like..

I was tired of him bragging about escaping my basement...

The 4R100 was kinda meh.

I think they are all pretty good anymore.

When used within its limits it is a decent trans though I'll admit it is not as good as the 5R110 or 6R140. Both are pretty bulletproof.

@PetroleumJunkie412 would disagree with that statement.

He is in the minority on this one. I'm not sure which trans he has since it's a gasser, but I've heard very little about any major problems on any of them.

OK, maybe it's not anything particularly special, like the RV Ranger, or the six door Super Duty, but it's still something that I'd never seen before when I first saw it, and to see it still running, well, that's something else.

Dude its impossible to kill a 73-79 ford.

Dude its impossible to kill a 73-79 ford.

Oh, it's possible. Stick a 390 crank in a 360 that someone had already put 352 rods in. You end up with a VERY high compression gasoline engine. One that needs more than 93 octane evidently. It's a beast until the pistons start breaking apart from the detonation. At that point, you break a block and kill a '73. LOL

This F100 has an engine and transmission from a aerostar van im told.

If it's impossible to kill a '73-'79 Ford, why are they so rare?

Thats still not killing it...just the motor. Drop another in and roll.

Rust....cancer gets the best of us.

Its on the corner in winslow arizona, stakesides , but a flatbed ford none the less. Wheres the girl that goes with the flatbed ford at?

Last weekend during the “rt 30/lincoln highway” yard sales (clear across ohio) I saw a F5 , just cab and front sheet metal, nothing on rear frame rails, saw it had a vacuum 2-speed rear axle. cyl head on front seat, so not a runner. looked cool, could barely read a business name on drivers door. Would of been a neat project.
