Dad had a 1962 Ford F-600 with the 292 OHV V-8 and a 4 speed 2 speed..It had a wooden 14 ft bed and no hoist so wasnt real heavy....I took it out to Kansas a bunch of times in the mid 1970's to haul home antique tractors and believe it or not it got 12 mpg empty at 55-60 mph...I'd stop just east of ElDorado,KS to gas up...It was 144 miles and it took 12 gallons..A friend that lived 8 miles away often followed me with a 1962 Chevy 60 2 ton..It had a 283 and a 4 speed 2 speed..He too put in 12 gallons so also got 12 mpg...Coming home with a 5000-6000 lb antique tractor we both got 7-8 mpg..I thought that was fantastic for old 2 ton trucks..I had a new 1976 and a new 1979 Chevy pickup that struggled to get that kind of mileage.
I've driven 1970's model Chevy 2 tons with 350's and IH's with 345's-392's that did good to average 4-6 mpg but they weighed 9000 lbs plus..I've never driven a flat head Ford V-8 so couldn't tell you what one would average..In the 1950's-60's Dad had several Ford F-6 two tons with the flathead 6 but I cant remember what fuel mileage they got.

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
