It is a great price for the machine. I'd buy it too if it fit my needs. I've been in it..and followed it from Atlanta to Bensen Days. Good road warrior. Excellent buy.

I can tell you that it absolutely can pull a gyro. This from personal experience trying to keep up with Billy while he was pulling his red gyro down to Bensen Days.

Billy and I have talked a lot about "the optimum gyro fly-in setup." We both independently have concluded that it is better for each of our intended uses to have something you can detach from the vehicle and leave setup so the vehicle is free to come and go. This means either a really large combination gyro/camper trailer or a pick-up truck slide-in camper towing a gyro on its own trailer behind. At least, those seem to be the simple options.

Billy's Motorhome is excellent for fly-ins, as it is reasonably fuel-efficient, compact, yet full-featured. However, it still built to be parked, awning deployed, bbq, tables and chairs deployed and left stationary for the event. The alternative being equipment ready at a whim to set off to the beach or theme park or off-site shopping for the day with those inhabitants who may be less gyro-enamored.

It isn't a matter of "will it pull." It is a matter of overall use preferences. I'd buy the thing myself if I hadn't decided on a pick-up camper as my device of choice. Billy's motorhome is reasonably priced and I really like the footprint. Not too big, but still has all the necessaries.

300 cid 6 or 351W or 460 engine ?

(from memory) a Tennessee vehicle comes with title and registration .... only insurance required (for new owner)
thanks
Arnie

.... looks like dual wheels at rear ... is it an F350 chassis ? thanks

another question .... do you know rear axle gear ratio ?

Ford came out with some superb engine-axle combinations that allowed sufficient power when needed and decent mileage the rest of the time. I am interested. thanks.

It is the 351W, f350 chassis,comes with clean title (reg and ins does not come with it in the State of TN.)But you are welcome to use my tag and reg and ins to get it home then you can send me them back in the mail. I do have full coverage ins on it. That does cover anyone with a valid DL with my permission to drive it.
The rear end has all new bearings on the ends by the wheels and seals and breaks,i don't know the exact ratio but it does fit the description that you layed out in your post. she is road ready and clean.
