Save an old monkey face?
There's a 1948 F4 1-ton truck for sale near me, and at least from the picture it looks pretty good for $200. (I don't know the seller, and I have no interest in the sale of this truck.)
I know there's not much demand for these big old trucks, but it seems a shame to let this one go to the scrapper, because you know that's where it'll end up.
Anyone interested? Check out the details here: Trucks

The F-4s are great little big trucks. They are lighter because they have single walled frames and don't have the frame rust problems the big trucks have. You can still have the big truck look with the lighter truck. Also, there were less F-4s made than any other models because they didn't fill a need. Too light for heavy loads and too heavy for lighter loads. I think they're great for restoration, that's why I have one.
For $200 I'd grab it just for parts. Too bad it's too far away.

If we're talking relays, I'd like to add in the '57 tow truck from Maine.

Sure hope someone saves that one! If it was in Central IL my F3 would have a new buddy in the shed. I've always liked the F4's because you don't see them as much as Bob mentioned. I'd offer free storage on the relay and would be willing to check with my trucking contacts to help save this one.

I am dying to get myself a 48-50 F1, but everyone I can afford is so far away I can't pay the shipping (which means I'd happily put it on a credit card but my wise wife won't let me).
We need to figure out a cheap way to relay these things cross country. There is one in Texas 900 miles away from me that I'd LOVE to pick up.
