my latest buy came home today

1985 F700 4x4, I asked in another post about disabling the parking brakes and I found out already done, it was a former drill truck. Same split wheels as my F600. Lots of work ahead should turn out good I hope I may install a dump bed with removable sides.

Fabco conversion?...
Build thru ford?

Check that frame carefully.. obviously for cracks but for square too... as you know drilling can be uber hard on the frame and suspension

Nice truck ...

Once I steam clean it I'll know on frame cracks. I jacked up the side with flats all straight.
Issue I have so far is fuel pump setup, no mechanical pump it has what looks like a factory block off plate same color and rust spots as engine. This truck has dual tanks passenger side has a manufacture date of 10/05 so an add both look like electric pumps built in how ever disconnected has a Cater inline on the drivers side. Now I get to decipher someones "fix".

Production date of 10/85 (printed on the Certification Label at upper left) would be a 1986.

10/05 would be a 2011, which this truck obviously is not.
