Hmmm. By the name I prolly shouldn't question a Ford man, but I did own a couple 1960 F100 trucks. I do not recall 368 in p/u...thinking that was a HP type option in cars. I did sell auto parts for 25 years...I will check it out.

No 368s in those year model trucks. Think it was a Lincoln engine

In the picture, looked like a dually. I believe they used a truck version of the 368 in them. Which, yes was a Lincoln engine. I believe it is referred to as a MEL!

Which produced how many HP?

[mike.t]

368 4.000 in (101.6 mm) 3.660 in (93.0 mm) 285–300 hp (213–224 kW) 402–415 lb·ft (545–563 N·m) 1956-1957 Lincoln and Mercury

That's considerably stouter than the 360 that was in the 71 and 72 F100s I had. We had a 1950 GMC 2 ton grain truck that had a 6 cylinder in it. No telling how heavy that thing had hauled.
