got my ford hood scoop comming UPS for installation in the factory location on the hood of the f600 bronco. Its gonna be sweet!

(in case you cant tell, its the squarish scoop on this yellow L900 hood, same part used on the F series)

 

Would it be possible to get an approximate measurement of where the hood vent mounts on the hood?

Nice truck

 

Here is my Work Truck

 

Here's another hard working Louisville. Bought new in '88 by a New York based grocery chain it spent it's first life hauling foodstuffs on the upper east coast. In the late 90's it was one of several matched units purchased by a local scrap dealer at an auction.



The short wheel base and fairly heavy specs made these units ideal for hauling crushed cars. Now assigned to a road crew it pulls a crusher from yard to yard. Battered, battle scarred and suffering the effects of north east winters and the often brutal conditions it operates in this old Ford is nearing the end of it's useful life.

 

I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO GET MY HANDS ON THIS ONE.

Great pics!! What's the red one in the 2nd pic? Never saw one like it.. Love those monster bodies and the small windshields. Interesting trucks.

 

Very nice...

 

No picture.
There is a restoration business in IRVING TX that restores vehicles for the movie industry on anyone else with the $$. Last time I was there they had around a 36 Ford Linehaul tractor. Cabover powered by a flathead V8. Tandem RE. 2 transmissions. All mechanical believe even the brakes!!!!!!!. No insulation just sheet metal floor over the flathead.
Really nice vehicle. They also had a London diesel Cab and were starting on a 36 Packard. Now I kow where the industry gets old vehicles for scenes.
Some old body guys over there spend years on some of the projects. They made the front fenders and other sheet metal in the Ford from pictures. They also overhaul their own engines and trannys.
You nevert know when you will need a camera!

 

Looks like a early '50s F-8 with an upside down '55 Desoto grill

 

hey Oleman, what's the name of that shop?
JML

 

keep a watch on ebay they do come up but not cheep for a solid one best are old farm grain trucks

 

You sound like me, I own a 56 F100 big window truck I bought in 92. I have always loved the 56 models and have also owned a a 56 F600 and a 56 C 600 cab over. The F and C 600s are long gone now but sure was fun at the time.

 

One more for you.
