Anyone ever seen one of these? A buddy of mine bought this one the other day, it's in great shape and he drives it fairly regularly. First one I've seen. Was originally a Fire Truck, but was changed to a flat bed. The mileage is low... I think around 60,000. The factory hood scoop is too cool.

WOW that is a nice truck. And a real one too.
Would it be possable to get us a picture of the underneith of the hood were the air cleaner mates to the hood? Thanks

 

Hi I run several F-8/900's and one T-800 1956's all with
power steering and full air and all have hood scoops

Sure. I'll try to take a couple pics this weekend.

 

Cool, I didn't know these body-style trucks had scoops. I knew some of the newer ones did.

What is unique about the "Big Job" ?

Owner says it has a 332, is that correct? I was suprized the Y-block was available that large in 56.

 

The 332 Lincoln Y block engine sounds correct. My dad and I have a 1957 F-800 BigJob Firetruck which we are restoring (http://members.ll.net/acfd/). It also has the 332 engine, but not the hood scoop.

 

I KNOW A GUY IN IOWA WHO HAS ONE JUST LIKE THAT. SAME COLOR EVEN! HIS WAS ALSO A FIRE TRUCK.

 

I think that most fire trucks were red back in the day!
