1960's F750 specifications

Hello, I am trying to find a place on the web that shows specifications & options available for mid 60's vintage F750 trucks. I would like to see what was availble befoere I start shopping around. Can anyone point me in the right dircetion. Looking to haul wood and go to the occasional truck show. Thank you.

ireding- I'm not sure about options, other than transmission and differential packages, but I do know my 1960 F-750 has a 144" wheelbase, and GVW of 22,000 lbs. It's a beast!
For wood hauling, and car shows, you might want a slightly smaller, more driver friendly unit.

I would highly urge you to consider a F-550 or a COE 550. Very user friendly, GVW about 16,000, with a straight 262 six, very cheap and very capable and somewhat decent gas mileage.

Whatever you do, do not buy a big truck with a Superduty gas engine--401-477-534. The FT engines as found in the lower GVWR trucks--330-361-391, are a lot easier to find parts for, and you might be able to go as far as 10 miles on a gallon of gas--twice as far as a Superduty motor.

post #5 is absolutely true..

They dont even seem to have as much pull as the little 391's do.. Terrible engines.
