Michelle, I don't know which I like better your N or that LTL.

Tell you what, to help me decide you should get a family picture of all of the Fords you have right (just in case I don't know about one that might be better than one of those 2)

 

I agree Michelle. I have seen the pic's of you hauling
your fleet to a GTG or something. But some new pic's
to see them all today and together would make my day.


I would have loved to be a fly on the loading dock the
time you backed the big stock trailer into the dock
with all the old truckers watching. You rock Girl.
Wasn't that in the N in your Avatar? So cool

 

Yes I do have to take them off. My shop door is only eleven feet high.

 

I don't know if I told this story or not, but the day I backed the stock trailer into the dock some guys were standing next to a friends pick up and his wife was in the pick up. When I getting ready to back in, she heard one of them say "I will let her try a few time to get it backed in and then go do it for her". When I back in straight on the dock the first time they walked off and back to their trucks. I got out and walked over to the pick up to talk with my friends wife and she said, "you just ruined their day" She went on to tell me what they had said. It was a good day indeed.

The picture on my avatar is the N series truck and has been photo shopped to make the hood longer.

Here is a picture of both of them together.

 

I tell you, this is not helping me decide.

 

I will tell you that the N is fun to drive and always gets the most looks. With that said the LTL is not only fun to drive but a lot nicer to drive. It has double the power that the N series truck has. If I go on a long trip, I will always take the LTL, it is so much more confortable to drive and it has a nice bed to sleep in at the end of the day. Short trips to truck shows the N gets driven. Its ashame the N doesen't have the power the LTL has. To be honest the LTL gets its share of looks and comments too.

 

I have always loved big trucks. After seeing yours on my list of one day it would be nice to have the N series and LTL have been added.... Sigh, good thing I am young and broke otherwise things might get interesting.

 

Was the N series produced with the long nose ever?
I would never condone cutting up a stock N ever.
But then if you had another N with a long nose than
the engine options and tranny combo's are endless.

 

No, the N series was never produced with a long nose. The only thing you would have to cut up to make one would be the hood. Use the N sries frame or a frame from an L cab Ford. Make up your mind how long you want the hood. Then go about moving the N series cab mounts to the proper place on the frame. You aren't going to cut the fenders or the cab, only the hood. Actually you wouldn't even have to cut the hood, you could make a fiberglass hood and fender combination so you could tilt it. It would make a super cool looking truck.

 

So... Who is going to get working on one of those?

 

Thx for the info 'Chelle'...... keep on truckin'

 

Saw this Crewcab F650/F750 at a hotel tonight. Had a newer model Superduty sitting behind it

 

Here's mine 76 F600

 

That 76 looks in great shape

 

Thanks gigger! I bought it to haul material for my landscape business. So far we love this truck. She's a little slow but hey it's a 76
