My Truck Projects x6
Messed with diesels for years and now switched back to older no emissions trucks.
This is a 1966 F100 with a full late model Chassis, Suspension,Steering, Brakes F150/EcoBoost/6R80 Combo.

Truck 2 I call Eco 2. Its a 1966 F-250 with a 2015 3.5 Eco/6R80 from a 4x4.
Its a restored to stock 1966 F250 chassis with a Dana 60 that has been upgraded to current year standards. A bit easier to find parts if need arises. 3.54 Gears 4340 Axles, New Locking Diff.
This will be the "Sleeper" of the bunch with upgraded Ford GT Turbo's etc

Thanks!
Eco 1 has full 2011 Electronics Inc Trailer Sway Control, Anti Roll, Anti Skid and Anti Theft, everything a loaded 2011 F150 Eco would have. At the time when I started the build there was ZERO support so it was quite the chore getting it all to work.
Eco 2 Because it was a 2015 the Anti Theft system was a hard nut to crack just to get the engine to start. (Since then its been figured out how to disable the anti theft)
Eco 2 has just minimal electronics to run the engine and trans. The Dakota DIgital gauges will run off the Can~Bus system. I did have some Ford Engineer helping/doing the wiring.
Today is Data Logging day for Eco 1. Boost now up to 19 psi. Just added CalTracs too as had a major traction issue.

Here is video @ 15 psi. I was 20 to 40' out before I started to give it much throttle. Never did get to WOT. I was probably 40' out when it started to spin.
I had the traction control off.
I will try to get video @ 19 psi. This will be a 91 octane tune.
Eco 2 will be a whole bunch faster yet. It has the Cat-less down pipes and 2017 Ford GT Turbo's. Its a bunch lighter too.

This one is Truck 3. Have owned for nearly 17 years now. Really gotta get it finished up.
Got a bit carried away with the paint work on bottom side . .
Built some custom headers for it too.

Truck 3 is gorgeous. The video of eco 1 threw me off, I knew there was an ecoboost in there but just wasn't expecting the sounds that motor makes to come out of a vintage ford like that. Are those steel spare 20" wheels on eco 1?
