Nice!
I'm jealous. For the last couple of years I've had a hankering for a bigger truck. A small dump truck like that would be perfect.
Looks like fun and I'd bet that there is tons of life left in that old beast
Have fun

That is a nice sized utility truck. Not too big and not too small.
When I look at the grille and front I wonder if the Ford designers could have possibility spent less time on it. I can imagine the design team arriving to work on a Friday in 1966 and being told by senior management their next project is to come up with the style for the newest upcoming '67 model. It's 7:30 am and the boss says "We have to get this done quick - OK everyone draw out their ideas!" One guy takes a pen out of his pocket protector (they all had them back then) and within 23 seconds draws a rectangle with two circles on the end and straight lines in the middle. This is written on the napkin his doughnut was carried in. He holds it up to the design team and says 'Here you go - can we go home now!" Everyone on the team laughs, except the boss.
Instead he takes the napkin and carries it to the clay mold department.
The clay mold department gets the napkin and that group also wants to go home early for the weekend. They whip out a full-scale form before noon time. Then they call the marketing photographers who create the ads that need to go to the magazine editors.......
Next thing you know..."NEW for 1967" is in the latest issue of Farm Journal. There is no turning back.
As I look at that truck today, I can see the beauty of it. Hope you get it running soon. That rig needs to be back on the road showing folks how good a simple design can be. Tom

Nice bumpside!
What year and what series?
The 67 trucks did not have ref!errors on the hood side emblem. So it is a 68 or newer.
I'm guessing it's an F600.
Joe, the light duty trucks, F100-F350 trucks had a different grille each year. Ford used this grille for the medium duty trucks and maybe heavy duty trucks too.

And all of them have a family resemblance to the original...

This grille is simple and just crisp enough
Sorry for the hijack...but you mentioned the grille.....I choose this earlier version grille over what came from the factory in 1972. I like that it is STEEL and not aluminum. Some powder coat and we are good to go....in a few days this truck will finally emerge from my buddies paint shop....just in time for my birthday on the 27th....he did a scuff and shoot but I made a fatal mistake..Back in January..I told him to take his time.......no body work needed...really (up until I got it from like a week old...it previously had a cab over camper on it)...just a scuff and shoot(he did that last month) (and has spent this next 30 days putting all the pieces back on)......but you know...time goes forward....quickly....dont ever tell a painter get to it when you can....

Love these old working trucks still doing their work! My all original F-1 is still used for Home Depot runs, moving people, and parades. I refuse to let her sit in the garage for the infrequent car show.
Of course, I'm not always guaranteed to get to wear I'm going in it, or even get home with her load. But that's part of the fun.

Its crunch time!
THAT IS RIGHT N E V E R>>>>>NEVER.....I bought this F250 last October...My brother is the only family member except my Bride who knows about it.(his neighbor found it for me)..I want to reveal this truck to 60 people.... mostly my family at our yearly"The Saturday before Thanksgiving" my sister has which is a few days before my birthday....Today the dash goes back in, the new chrome rear dock bumper gets holes drilled that will work to mount this predrilled bracket....argh...I gave those brackets AND the bumper to him IN FEBRUARY....yesterday"hey Gary the dock bumper brackets are incorrect the holes dont line up...do you want to get the correct ones or we can drill some more holes in these?"...."SIGI you KNOW I want my truck THIS SATURDAY!" Drill those holes....The new windshield is being installed today...I had the wrong dash(and wrong bumper brackets apparently) from my large purchase with NPD in February. He told me about the dash being incorrect LAST WEEK.... Im crunching gears to get this to happen!!! ...i...The correct dash arrived last night so I will run it to him this morning....One of his guys dropped my windshield 2 weeks ago....Its CLEAR NO GREEN TINT one like was in there... I had to find it...It will be installed this afternoon after the dash is put in........This truck sat since October....and really for two years prior to that(the old p/o was ill for that long before passing)....so I wanted it at least a week before the reveal date...there is bound to be a few things that need to be shored up....such as ...I know the carb is leaking from the accelerator pump.....cant have this truck burn to the ground now that its painted!!! Can you tell how excited I am????!!!!
