thats right, ya read the title.... I dont want to fix up my f600, i want to fix my 68 f250, and i want to put the 72 f600 nose on it.

Any comments.... good articles.... or pictures would be great.

 

Ok it looks like my old thread got deleted so...
The radiator support sits 3 inches lower than the cab, compared to the f250 configuration.
By putting a 3" body lift on the cab, the fenders will bolt on (to the f250 core support), but the fenderwells wont fit and the grill wont fit unless you cut a few inches off of the frame.
If it doesn't have leaf springs up front, you could cut the frame off up front and create a dropped front frame section, utilize the f600 core support, and fit the inner fenderwells and grill
OR
Fab up 6" lift cab and bed supports (6" body lift) and create your own front cross member, keeping your frame intact, and the nose intact. (what i did)

 

Thanks for the reply. (your bronco is beautiful) I figured i had to raise the cab up a few inches, but hopefully i dont have to go over 3". Raising the cab 3" - the fenderwells still sit to low?(too low for the tires, or the cab?) I also figured i have to do something with the lower section of the f600 core support, or front frame horns.

Fabricating is not a problem. BUT finding out how you all did it is way easier than starting Fresh

Im going for an ENTIRE different look. Remember im 2wd, i want the front end to be Huge and Low. Is the 72 f600 CAB + Hood different than the 68 f250 cab and hood?
THANKS A TON

 

Well, I did it, but i didnt like it. I should of taken a picture. The look up from was beautiful, although it just didnt look good from the sides.

I Trimmed 5 1/2 inches of the bottom of the inner fender wells, and choped the frame 3.5 inches back. Bolts right up even the hood hidges. If i had a 4x4 where i could throw wide tires, this looks amazing

DANG

 

no will buy my f600 for $600 and it runs and drives. People are crazy...

anyways im scrappin it.. anything valuable on this thing? im keepin the front clip, cluster, and dash pash.

 

Ain't that a shame.............lot's of these old trucks have been going to the scrap yards in the last couple of years. The prices on scrap iron have made these things worth more as scrap iron than as a running vehicle in a lot of cases. And they take up some real estate. But there are some parts worth saving. Fenders are the big one. What engine, trans, rear end does it have? How about power steering? Does it have the 6-hole Budd 22.5" wheels?

 

are you not using the steps?
if not, i need them for my 58 (same step basically)

take the doors too. the hoods are the same. too bad you cant save the cab for the future, in case its a good replacement for someone.

i also trimmed my inner fender wells.

find a way to keep the f600 core support intact by creating a lower crossmember, and bolt the core support to that ( i used a section of U-channel for this crossmember.)

matching rear fenders will need to be made, i havent done mine yet.

 

Ahh i really dont want to scrap this thing, its sad. It has a running HD330ci motor, np435 4spd with pto(i think its a 435), and a big 2speed rearend, and it even has a full propane set up.

Im trying to decide what I want to take to put on my 68 f250.
My f250 has factory, but still good- 390fe with a 4spd,

The full propane set up would be nice but alot of work....
The Big *** and rear axel would be awesome to put on my f250 but also Alot of work. - And if i did that the f600 nose would be sweet.

Ive told myself from the get go, im not cutting the frame on the f600 and putting a box on it, Im building my grandpas 68 f250. And i dont have the time or money to keep both trucks.

 

Im not using the Steps or Doors. But they would require me taking them off and shipping them. (doors have alittle rust on the bottom) Im still deciding if i have room to keep the motor and tranny
Im parting out my other 68 f250 and I cant even sell that GOOD cab, let alone keeping the f600 one. Same with the doors. (good doors), same with the running 360fe w auto trans.
Too much stuff. Why cant i just find someone to sell all this stuff to or at least do some Bartin'
