The "good half" of a '74 F700 with a 361FT :)

[Alvin in AZ]

'74 F700 Cab-Over 361FT appears to be all original. Didn't look at the mileage.

A friend of mine gave me the "front half" because it'll be cheaper in the long run to put a goose neck on it instead of tax and license and insurance on that old truck along with keeping the engine and battery etc going. He'll pull it from job to job with all the tools in it, see? Didn't look at it that close (we were busy!) but it's got a huge old refrigerated box on the back, all Wimbledon white I'd guess. :)

I didn't get to look it over real good but appears to have original paint on the engine and I think it has a 4 barrel Holley and for sure a 5 speed manual and (something I won't get) a two speed rear axle.
(I'll get the V.I.N later)

Looking at the pictures in my '75 Ford service manuals I figure it's a New Process instead of a Clark.

Being real clean -and- from AZ too, it all looks like it's just 5 years old. :)

Ok, so it's not a 389 or 391...
Tell me what I can do with it. :)
...besides that I mean. :)

What do you think? :)

Supposed to run pretty dangged good. :)
"Running at all" is defined that way by cowboys, BTW. ;)

Alvin, is the 5 speed a newprocess 542 ? If so, it sounds like you'll have the bell, clutch, pressplate, flywheel, everything you need to pop that 5 speed into a pickup. DF

So what is the benefit of running this in a half-ton pickemup? Will it let you run taller axle gears? Does the bell mount the newer OD trannies?
