I'm looking for ideas or help in transporting a 1965 F600 from Orleans,Vt to Hubert, NC. The rear axle is not attached to the frame because all wheels are locked up due to sitting for 20+ years. Any help or information is greatly appreciated.

 

Sounds like scrap metal, not a truck. Does it have a body of any kind on it?
Cab and chassis bare are probably around 8000 lbs. Any decent body is going to be 8' wide. And no axle means it won't roll on to a truck, it will have to be fork lifted or otherwise craned into position.

The cab that is on it will be scrapped as well as the bed. I have a much better cab already here for it. I mostly need it for the frame and the front clip. The truck was given to me from my wife's grandparents. It's definitely a project that I am looking forward to.

 

What is the story on the rear axle being detached? Unbolted or rusted and broken?

If you strip the cab and anything else you are not going to use, it might be transportable on a rented trailer.

 

I'm guessing from the many years of sitting the brakes are locked up. And when family members went to move it from its original spot. The u bolts and rear leaf springs gave up.

 

I brought my '58 F600 home to Texas from Idaho on an 18' bumper pull flatbed trailer towed by a 2001 F250 SRW Powerstroke.

JMO I wouldn't spend a nickle moving it other than to the scrap yard. The cab is going, the rear spring mounts are busted and the frame back there may or may not fixable.

I know this was a family truck, but it's going to be like the axe your great, great, great grandpa brought over in the rowboat from the old country. It's the same axe, it's been maintained with three new handles and a new head over the years....

Scrap it and go with a later model chassis with axles and brakes you can actually get parts for.

jmo.....
