Grampas F350
If anyone is interested, I posted some pics of my 1970 F350 in my gallery.
it belonged to my Grandpa until he retired from farming, then some of my uncles used it until three years ago when I bought it.
It is all original except for a 73 F350 front suspension (for power front disk brakes and power steering) and a axillary fuel tank from a 68 Ford grain truck.
It runs the original 360 "to bad its not a 390" I know, but seems strong and gets reasonable fuel mileage for a F350 (10 MPG+)

But I cant imagine that it was a Ford factory install.
I think that back in those days trucks like this where purchased as a cab chassis and grain boxes where fabricated locally.
This was my Grampa's grain truck from 1970 till he retired. I don't think they even allow one tons at the local mega elevator anymore.
