I remember the state and county highwayway depts. having them but the only time I saw individuals have them was when they had bought them at auction after the highway folks were done with them. It seems that they were usually left the orange, yellow or whatever they were with the signage painted out, decals removed etc... and it was easy to spot them.

YEAH F-1 was a 1 ton back in the year of 1960 right? This one lookes like a stock 1/2 ton frame. The front has been modified with a fatman set up and a 9 inch with disc out back.
My buddy wants to help with my gasser comet so hey asked me to off load this 60. Kinda a partnership that he can get away with. (wife doesn't care if he helps with someelses car HA!)
I don't want to sound lame with the "whats it worth line?"
I judge prices on what I would pay for it. I only recall seeing these trucks used by military and forest workers.

Not exactly. F-1 was the designation for half ton pickup trucks from 1948-52. Beginning in 1953, which would be the same for 1960, your choices would be F-100, F-250, F-350, for half, three-quarter and one ton trucks respectively.
Crew cab trucks were typically used by government agencies and railroad companies, and not generally available to the general public.

F1's ended in 52. Starting in 53, they were F100 all the way up to sometime in the 70s, I think. Then transformed into F150s.

Any big company, power, gas, lumber, etc that used crews and maintained vehicle fleets used the crewcab type trucks - There were Ford, Dodge and Chevy Crewcabs in the USAF with short/long beds and 2x4/4x4 versions during 60-80s that I served - They even used the GM Mini Trucks (Or tried to)
