60s Ford trucks were relatively modern in many ways. The twin I beam suspension offered many of the strength benefits of a straight axle, and combined them with the benefits of independent suspension. With or without a load thy were a good handling truck. The F250 shared the same brakes and floating rear axle as its heavier cousin, the F350.
A very drivable truck even on today's roads.
An excellent choice for the cummings diesel.
