Found this. 1958 (built late '57) f750. Upfitted 12/31/57 with goodies found on a aftmkt build tag, (unknown goodies). Air brakes. Drove home from south of LA to Las Vegas. Hauls azz.

 

Looks to be in immaculate condition for its age. Nice score.

 

Dunno how I missed this thread...cool build!

 

 

Can you say stretch the bed? Two fronts of two front fenders cut down the middle and welded together would make one great rear fender. Maybe that is what you have already planned. Like to hear your thoughts and plans.

 

I love that thing! Don't you have a crewcab hanging around somewhere? That would fill the gap nicely!

What motor does it have? 477? 534? I've never heard one run, but I've been told they sound like nothing else on earth!

To me it looks like it has dump box written all over it!

 

That's an awesome rig! Whats the plan for it?

 

This is just the operational chassis for the build. Since body parts are unavailable, I bought a whole truck. I will remove the single cab and install the crew cab and use all the mechanicals it has. the air brakes work really well and the air horns scare the crap out of people. Since I have three sets of fenders, dually rears will happen now. Truck will be lowered and I need to find smaller tires and new wheels. I have no idea if there are 8 lug heavy duty replacement wheels out there. I think it's a 429 under the hood.

 

heres a awesome cab for your build. I dont see one dent on it. And not far from you.

I would LOVE to see a few detailed pick of how they installed it! I'm always looking to see if I did mine right

 

Have a look at the old iron. Good luck finding this stuff in ten years.

 

I like the Idea

 

 

That looks really good!
