I had been looking for a H1000 to use when moving my flatbed and my 5th wheel camper around asa backup in case my 94 F350 Diesel ever goes down. Today I came across a 1965 N600 by hapoen stance. It is an old Fire truck, and it only has 72,000 original miles. I will try to post a photo of the data plate if Bill or someone else comes along who can decode this beast.... very neat old truck
A word of caution: even though it may only have 72K miles the engine has spent thousands of hours running a pump while the truck sat still. Don't expect the engine to be in like-new condition.
I bought a 1958 F600 that was a former grain truck and had 50K miles. It was only used 3 months out of the year hauling grain from the field to the grain elevator but those miles were hard ones. It definitely had wear on it!

In another thread, you posted pics of the engine. The pictured Powered by Ford valve covers were introduced in 1967, so the engine may have been swapped.
Do not believe the miles shown on the odometer, as it reads to 99999.9 then returns to ZERO!
With the 330 I am sure it would be weak, but with a rearend geared that low I am sure it would pull my Camper, Flatbed, and anything my 94 Powerstroke F350 would touch. It would just get it there the next day. Haha. They swear the mikes are accurate. Original firetruck

Keep in mind the tall height of those tires will make the gears seem higher than comparing those gear numbers to other vehicles with more "Normal" tire sizes.
