My first truck 1970 F-250

[Ryan_1]

last week I bought my first truck. It is a 1970 Ford F-250 with a rebuilt 390 with 500 miles on it and a c6 transmission. it is lifted 8 inches on 39" bfgoodrich all terrains and dana 44's front and back.

The truck runs great but i am having some problems with the tranny. i drove it up a steep slope and dumped all my tranny fluid

Otherwise this is a great truck and is going to be my project for this winter. I am living up near Anchorage Alaska with lots of trails nearby.

Good lookin truck there, and awesome scenery. Good luck with the trans issue, once you get out and about you should post more pics of the truck in beautiful Alaska.

Thank for the warm welcome

I just found out my tranny is shot and have to pay $1800 to get it rebuilt and i still need studded tires

[hivewax]

Welcome. Can you fix the transmission with a rebuild kit? $1800, ouch!

Almost be better off trying to find a known working C6 and swapping it out, probably less than half the price

Transmission has been rebuilt and the truck is runnning perfect, I plan on slowly replacing some of the interior stuff like the seats with corbeau offroad seats and adding power steering.
