I am fond of the bigger trucks. I have a 55 F-600 that I totally restored and use for a swap meet truck. I also have a 65 FT-850 and I am currently searching for a 63-69 N sereies Ford truck 600 or bigger.

John, I went to you gallery and looled at your truck. I must say that I was very impressed, you have a very handsome truck, and a handsone guy behind the wheel too. I have pictures of my 56 in my gallery and pictures of my 55 F-600 on my website. www.michellesfords.com

I have tabs on a 49 F6, and a 49 F8 w/dump box. Both are free to the taking, but I've got first dibs on the F6. Problem is I don't have a truck and trailer big enuf to get'em home. But otherwise, I love'em all. www.cutstrucks.com has been a good site to drool over, too.

I have my '56 F600 that is my therapy and work in progress. I have pics but haven't been able to figure out the whole gallery thing. I use it weekly, pulling my race car, hauling gravel (12 ft. flatbed dump), hay for the wifes horses (thankfully only once a year), and damn near anything else that needs to be moved by me or for any of my friends.

Gee ! Theres a bunch,of guys interested in big trucks. I have a 1950 F-6 Ford thats a wrecker. But NOT a pole truck, The wrecker unit is a split boom Holmes with out riggers. My 1951 is a F-7 old Farm stake bed. And my pride& joy is my 52. Its a 1951 Mercury M-3, its a full size 4-door 1-ton dually. pickup with a 8 ft bed. All rebuilt. Now I am looking for a 51-52 Big bus or a Fire truck to rebuild.
