My '54 F600 and F500

I just wanted to share some pictures. The F600 is a V8 with a dump bed and the F500 is an I6.

Careful, these are large images.

I want to rebuild the F600. The cab/body is in great shape.

The F500 runs but it needs a fuel pump. The doors, cab corners, and floor are rusty but it will be a fun truck.

You need to create a gallery! (My F-600 is in my gallery!)

Nothing like a BIG truck!!!

I drove my F500 today

I didn't go far or fast because it does not have working brakes but first gear and reverse work.

It took a new battery(still 6v). Fuel pump with a fuel filter before and after just for good measure and a carburetor rebuild.

It is always fun when you get to drive a 53 year old vehicle that has not run in untold years. I know the previous owner had it parked for at least four years before I got it last month.

Wow! Thanks for sharing the pics.

They look like great trucks. The cool thing about having more than one truck is that when you get frustrated with one you can ignore it for awhile and work on the other.
