big truck pics

I finally got around to uploading some pics of the F800.

https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gal...&albumid=26169

I am hoping to one day make it a running, driving truck again, but I may need some help from you guys. Feel free to voice any questions, comments, concerns or doubts.

It looks like alot of work. I think you should just sell it to me. I will chop down the tree and get it out of your way. MN is not too far from Ohio. Great looking truck, I'd love to find a F8 from 51 or 52. I will keep looking. Good luck with the truck, lots of people on here will help you like they helped me. good to see another big truck guy to.

Ben,

Nice truck. It's great someone is restoring an big truck, most are usually salvaged for the cab and the rest scrapped.

Just to give you a little inspiration here is a couple of pictures of my friend's truck. He found it behind a warehouse in Northern Wisconsin, buried up to it's axles:

Bob, I really do love that truck your buddy owns, in fact I remember using the pics of it as a reference when I was starting my extended cab truck.

Its always nice to see these bigger trucks gettign saved and not parted out to be used in the rebuild of their smaller siblings.

Wonderful pictures...the 1956 has many possibilities...and that red and white 1948 style truck has every accessory known to man.
