Help please. '59 F600
<hr style="color:#D1D1E1; background-color:#D1D1E1" size="1"> Hello. I am new here and a noob in general when it comes to trucks. I need schooling.

I need/want to buy a decent work truck.

An old(84yo) farmer is selling a '59 F600 that he uses to hall grain. It looks decent and seems to run fine. But I don't have the slightest idea what I am looking at! So here I am hoping that some folks here can tell me what I need to look at/check out before I make this purchase.

I realize this information is available on these forums, but after a few hours of reading I realized I'm not finding the information that I need to make an educated decision. I'm suffering from information overload. Can anyone tell me how hard it is to buy parts for a truck this old?

Can anyone here please help?

Thank you.
