Desert Rats

On Tuesday 78_f800crewcab4x4 and I checked out a ranch in Beatty Nevada for the F-600 they had sitting on their property. 78_f800crewcab4x4 needed the back doors for his bronco and steps for his 1960 F-800. The owner gave us a price to pick off as little or as much as we wanted so this is what we did...

You have to post more pics of the bumper on that expedition. Good score on the crew cab.

Is the front floorpan/firewall the same as the light duty, or different?

It looks to be the same as a regular, light duty, crew cab. It might be because 78_f800crewcab4x4 mated it with a bronco back half I think.

Nice job guys. I would have liked to taken the whole truck!

That is what I was distracted by when looking at that pic - didn't even see the guy in the back until people started talking about it.

That bumper is massive! It has to weigh a ton!

Slightly dif.

Frame mounts are dif, floor pan as a whole is nearly identical, trans hump is dif. firewall is shared with 67-72, as is the dash. All other front clip mounting points are same.

That f600 crew cab was said to still run, rear brake was locked up and who knows what other problems there were. Very solid truck it was though.
