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 - A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve.
