here's mine...

 

Mine is a little small but I figure it as a big truck. 48 F-5, been in the family since 1960, got it from the original owner. It was used as a lumber and log truck till we got it, then it became a grain truck.

1957 F-600 and 46 47 47 and 48 Ih Kb-6s

 

I got a 1959 or 1960 F-600 a 1949 F-5 and a B-61 Mack with tandem rearends

 

56 f 600 ex fire truck, no fire equip. left, just the fire body made by FMC. original 272 with 48k 4speed main trans and I added a 4speed auxillary trans with overdrive and eaton 2speed rear end with 6.33 ratio. In top gear I turn about 2700rpm at 55mph. Im looking for an eaton with a 5.14 ratio so I can do some freeway driving.... if you get behind me be patient Im shifting

 

I have an Eaton 2 speed axle also. It's got a 5.83:1 ring and pinion. According to my chart they only made a 6.33 and a 5.83 ratio in the F-500/600's

What axle did the 5.14 come in?

 

I just added another to the fleet being a 4x4 93 F150 so this is the latest roster
50 F6 utility, 53 F900 , 54 F800, 55 F900 56 F800, 56 T 800, 64 F350 78 4x4 and
93 4x4 the 54 F8 and the two pickups are contracted with the town.

I just added a new one to my stable. A 67 NT-950 D with 220 Cummins engine and ten speed transmission. It is posted in my gallery.

Just got into it-
I bought my 56' F-500 at a farm eq. consignment sale- from the orginal owners son for under $500 with alittle over 42,000 miles on it, runs and drives great (272- 4 speed/electric 2 speed rearend). Plans are for a custom oak flatbed with a hidden 5th wheel plate. The truck will get totally restored and painted up like a 50's John Deere dealership equipment delivery truck. I'll use it for my pulling tractor and to take some of my antique deeres to shows. Now I just have to figure out the color scheme, thinking black fenders, green hood- the hood line will follow straight back across the door, lower door will be yellow with a deere emblem and the rest will be green (MAYBE- I'm highly open to suggestions!!!)
I've got pics in my gallory of how it sits waiting to go into the shop this winter.

 

Very clean 56. I once had a 56 cab over. I should have hung on to that one. I have included a picture of a John Deere implement hauler, you may get some painting ideas from it.

Seems to me red and gray or blue and gray would be a more appropriate color scheme for an old FORD hauling old Deere's

 

Those color schemes would be appropriate if I was hauling tractors of those colors to the scrap iron!!!!

AND

 

NO NO NO Moose breath!


If yer gonna haul Deeres, it's gotta be painted GREEN & YELLOW!


I haven't decided on a paint scheme for the F-600. I've actually thought about using Green & Yellow!


Nothing like a B I G truck!!

Cheers,

Rick

 

I went to uPay for this one, sorry I couldn't find a better picture but I'm sure you get the idea:

 

Mine will be red and I will be haulin an old john deere. Its bad enough my house is green and yellow
