Don't remember if these were posted. Too lazy to look through 24 pages of posts.

These were all grabbed from here on FTE at some point.

Can't remember if I posted this, but I thought it was pretty neat:



Was used at an Airport to move the planes around. The owner had since put it on an F100 chassis, not sure what he did with the old parts.

I have hauled logs in Alaska for decades. That looks like fun.

I really would like to do that. Man that's one tough truck.

all I could think was "at least in Alaska they wait for the rivers to freeze"

then I remembered seeing some old Ford trucks on IRT, so I did some searching

this is all I could find, a bit too new and not too odd but still cool

Here's a fantastic oddball Ford military truck. See if you can find another like it. Josh, are you looking...? I think you have to have it.









From the craigslist ad, "Rescued before it went to wrecking yard. Motor runs. Can move forward under its own power. $1800."
