Awesome thread. I had a 57. Don't remember a lot about it. Had juice brakes and single rear axle. Gas V8 and a long flat deck that I hauled a Jap Cat about the size of a D4 on over a mountain. Was all she could do but did it well till I ran out off gas and went backwards till she found a flat spot the brakes would hold her on. And this at night on a secondary old logging road. Some of the dumb stuff we did in our younger days. I wonder how I made it to 60.

That sounds like fun !
Here is another one for your viewing pleasure. this is not the one I have been talking about, I have yet to go see it, maybe soon. this is a new find, no engine in it, but love the big back window!

Any updates? I just got an original radiator for mine.
I'm still looking for other parts and pieces.
Here's the 1959 I got the radiator from:
Note how big the top tank is:
Is that the standard for these trucks? My images are the only pictures of a super duty radiator on the internet.
Here it is next to a 1970's f600 radiator:
They are both awaiting a re-core/restoration.
Anyone want to decode this? Haha.
