Talking I'm Back!

As some of you know, I sold the wrecker. I was offered a price I cound not say no to. I now have bought another wrecker. It is a 69 snub nose ford F600. I will be picking it up a week from Monday. It is in Dayton Ohio so it is very close just 6 hours round trip. I will post some pics as soon as I can.

I hope I can still stay here to ask questions though. I still have a 51 F6 that I have to do as well. I don't want to switch forums. If this is not alright just let me know.


Thanks Kevin

Question

No Axracer, I have not burned out. I have been extremely busy as of late. I am now heading into my slow time so I will be getting back at it. I will be taking apart the wrecker so I can have it sandblasted again. I want to go from the frame up. Just like the last one. I hope to be able to go a little faster in this one though!

Well if owning the apropriate year is a requirement for posting in that forum I better leave and not come back till I get a truck a few years older. But seriously I think your welcome in any of the fine forums here because you are a Ford Truck Enthusiast right. Nuff said, Rich.

LOL, and to think, I ain't any closer to done before you started (and finished) the last one. I vaguely remember saying that you'd finish 10 trucks before I finished one. I better up that number to 50. Welcome back, Kevin.

If it's a flat nose, it isn't a F600. It's a C600 tilt cab, or if a short nose it's an N/NT or T600. Post the VIN when you get it. The first three digits in the 11 digit VIN tells the tale.

btw Kevin, whatever it is, I have the Ford Truck Parts Catalog that covers it.
