Purchased A Manure Spreader!

This addiction is really getting bad! I have always wanted one and when I saw this one I just had to have it. I'm sure some of you have probably seen this one before.

Only the most Discerning 51 52 truck owners will know which end is the front!

That's in pretty good shape! What engine does it have, a 337 by any chance? Is that a stock front bumper for the big trucks?

No 337 It has the 226 six in it (just needs distributor put back in it). and the bumper does look like an original, I have an extra big truck bumper, now I have something to put it on! this one isn't in bad shape but I think my extra one is better?

You looking for a 337? seems like I saw one around here for sale a couple weeks ago.

Forgive a newbie question...I've been a slick (1966 F100) owner for a while but I'm assuming manure spreader is a reference to the grille with the vertical bars? Please explain.

No, he means the piece of equipment bolted to the back is literally a manure spreader.

And as an old farm boy I'll say it is awesome!
(ok, some call that grill a manure spreader ;o) )

Believe it or not you are both quite right! lol

sometime ago a few 48-50 truck owners on here started name calling all the 51 52 trucks "Manure Spreaders" because they were upset about how much their 48-50 trucks Grills resembled a "Monkey Face"
Or something along those lines I'll see if I can find the reference thread?

That is awsome! I would not change a thing on it (although the mismatched mirrors are almost too much for my OCD side). Also, if you put a different bumper on it it would match the patinea of the rest of the truck.
The spreader part must be PTO driven, does it still work?
It does not get much better than that.
