I just picked this creampuff up last week. 330 HD V8, 4 speed, 2 speed rear axle. NO RUST! Needs some carb work but runs, drives and stops.

 

Best I can do.

 

 

Great project, welcome to FTE

 

I took advantage of the nice weather today and did a little cosmetic work on my F600. I got rid of the snowplow mounting bracket and what I think was a light bar. I also painted over the crappy brushed on gray paint on the front bumper and grill. I just rattle canned it for now, I also painted the gray rims with flat black. I coated the running boards with bed coating
also.

 

She looks great from here Marty

 

Hey guys my Bronk is Alive!!! Woo Hoo Matey. I got the 10 tooth starter drive
in for a 1.9 Escort engine. Put it on one of the 9 tooth starters I had
already over-sized the top hole on. I twisted the starter in as much as
it would go. Maybe a 1/16. And this truck starts like new. I can just barely
hear the starter crank the engine it is so smooth. Life is good when you live
it with a running Bronk.
Did I say I love my Bronk. I am still looking to swap the C6 out for a 5
speed. So I am looking for an F150 with a 5 speed I can strip all I need
from. I have yet to find one local to me so I am open for anything you
all can come up with. I think 86 to like 97 but not sure. 4X4 of course.

 

97 F800

My 97 F800, Cummins 5.9 12 valve, 5 speed Eaton 24,500 GVWR w 3100lb lift gate

 

The fleet is growing! Me and a friend went halves on this gem this morning. 1967 F750 road tractor, 361 2v with a 5 speed/2 speed axle. We're gonna make it into our tow rig, putting a gooseneck ball and bumper hitch on it, shes a blast to drive, doesn't smoke or anything and pretty much everything on it works!

 

Great old trucks Jer, good on you for saving those trucks

 

Thanks bud, I love most all of the big Fords, I'd buy em all if I could afford too haha. Im going tomorrow to look at a 57-60 F700/750/800 I saw peeking its nose out from behind a building on the gravel the other day.

 

^^
Two nice looking trucks!

 

With today being Easter, I wanted to post a picture of the LTL sitting among the Texas Bluebonnets. This picture was made April 2, 2015. When I took the truck out of the shop I forgot to put the exhaust stack tips with the turn outs on it. they bring the stacks up another 18 inches.

Happy Easter all, may the Lord be with you.

 

Great pic and thx for sharing, do you have to take the tips off to get it in the shop ...

 

Thanks for sharing! Nice picture!!
