I guess, since the F-3/350 thru F-6/600 trucks are medium duty, then I will make a category for them as well. There are many med. duty owners, and it would be nice to consolidate the good info into one easy to find thread. Post your info in here guys and gals. Part numbers you have found through your restoration, info, tips and tricks, etc., etc. These trucks are not the same as the much more popular and common F-1/100 and F-2/250 trucks, so your info will be useful to other med. duty owners. Have started one for Big Jobs as well. Admin, if enough response, can you sticky this one too? Please.
is my current toy. In process, I am working on the mechanical before tackling the bodywork. I just felt it calling to me, sitting all by itself in that storage lot!
We are here! I have had my f600 for 13years! Didn't realize that until I typed it. All that is left from the truck I bought, is the frame, axles, and front fenders. Eveerything else I have replaced over the years.
I don't have any medium duties right now, but will have my dads '55 F-350 express soon. Do have access to a '53 F-600 in the area. Still have a few parts from a '55 F-350 flatbed I stripped
Post it when you do. I would like to keep this and the Big Job thread on the front page for a while, so that people that something other than the ever common half ton have a thread to look to for finding answers that pertain to their particular truck. We, those of us with something other than a half ton, all know too well that very little info about the little trucks really pertains to our rigs at all. Those of us with the Big Jobs know this even more.
Technical data anyone? I will add some now, from knowledge, will add from the Ford book later, I can only verify info from 48-55, so if anyone has 56 up, put it in. 239 CID motor is a Flathead, and a Y-block (most of us already know this, but it's surprising how many do not). The '53 F-350 to F-600 recieved a 239 flat head V-8 this is the only V motor available for this year in these sized trucks. The F350 thru F-600 6-cylinder option was the 215 OHV. In 54, the flathead was replaced by the Y-block in the same CID. The F-600 would of come with a 256, or a 239 Y. The Six was increased to 223 CID. It can be found in any of the F-350 to F-600 trucks for 54-55. This is enough for now, will add more later.
I don't really have anything to post, but here's my F-3 as purchased about a year ago.......
what's the deal with the lights on the fenders? i've not seen these on many trucks.......
I'll post wishfully. I'm scrounging for cash to buy a '56 C-600 I just learned about locally. I've been hunting for years for just the right one and this one, though I havent' seen it, sounds to be the one.
If you see me picking up cans on I-44, honk and wave!
