Have to agree that 60 is the best looking of the fridge style, and styling is the main reason that I'm interested in these trucks.

 

This is a fun little subject. I grew up driving a '60 short box, three on the tree, dinky straight six. My dad was a farmer at the time and sometime around 1971 got a '59, 3/4 ton with the 292 in the bed, all apart for $65.00. The truck had less than 60,000 miles on it and had one dent on the whole truck....a single dent in the middle of the inside of the bed. We thought we had a muscle car when that truck got put together....a 4 speed and a V/8! Man we were livin'! It even had a factory heater....and the passenger visor once my dad took it out of the '60. Well, as for the subject, I think the '59 is the best looking of the bunch.

Your story rteminds me of the Alan Jackson Video..... 'Daddy let me drive'. If you don't know about this it is well worth your while to go to youtube and type it in......

 

Actually saw Allen Jackson sing that song and watched it on the Jumbo Tron. It was indeed a different time!

 

Do you know if there is still a CODF-11654-C available for my 1960 F100.
Been looking online and not having any luck.thanks Jim

 

A quick internet search shows one (1) NOS in stock at Green Sales. Also, Mac's shows a listing for a headlight switch for 1960 F100-600 @ $24.95; note they do not include the **** or light shaft. Hope this helps.

 

Thanks just bought one on eBay for 19.99 including shipping

 

There you go! Must have been tough sledding back in the day before this intertube thing.
