<< I am looking to purchase a ford F100 (straight 6) to help to move to Idaho.
 I am thinking about loading my bus and use it as a "trailer."  Does anybody
 have experience with pulling a vanagon (84 weekender) with a ford F100 (or
 F150)?  When I get to Idaho, I will put a gun rack and some empty beer cans
 in the bed, you know, just to fit in. Sort of off-set the looks I'll get
 from being a long haired bus driving hippy grad student!

it will be pushing it for the straight 6,  but i think if the engine was just
rebuilt, and you take it easy (not too many hills) it will be ok..
you'd be better off with the 302 V8 tho...
is it an AT or 4spd?  or *gasp* a "3 on the tree"? ( those are really fun..
:<(

someday to inherit my dad's '63 Falcon Sprint Convertible...260 V8 w/ 3spd on
the column... he bought the car new!
