Thanks Guys! I figure that it won't be super great on mileage. I has tall rear gears at 3.00. The PO had 235-75-15 and my buddy tells me that he has to feather the clutch to get going from a flat dead stop. Factory tires were I believe F78-15 which is roughly a 205-75-15 or 215-70-15. The tires I am getting are 245-60-15 which should put me closer to the size of the original, if not a bit shorter but should greatly help take-off and give a bit wider foot print for the highway and desert where it is going to be daily driven. I've heard reports of well tuned F100's with 302/3spds or autos getting 14 to 19 mpg, while I am optimistic and hopeful the realist in me says anything over 12 will be appreciated. Thanks again all!!
Anyone in Oregon, Idaho or Nevada that I may be passing?
