amazing craigslist finds for the big truck lover
 
Perusing craigslist tonight brought above average entertainment when finding these two cool big trucks. The first is a '52 F6 deluxe cab fuel tanker truck. The second is a 70 F750 Napco 4x4. Enjoy.

That old Napco would be cool. Has the hood scoop as well.

havi 04-08-2023 01:03 PM

Impressive how good that seat is in the '70. that scoop alone is probably worth a few bucks.

abe 04-08-2023 03:23 PM

Unless the seat material is different for the Big Jobs that's not the original seat material. I had a 70 F350 . I'll post pictures of seat when I get tomy desktop.

abe 04-08-2023 07:29 PM

My 70 F350 which I owned from 2012 to 2016. After looking at this interior again, I must say that I cleaned it up pretty good.

In reference to the 70 F750 seat, I would say that that seat was reupholstered.

Yeah the NAPCO and its hoodscoop is pretty cool, but no way it's worth 7,500

pintoplumber 04-09-2023 06:37 AM

Abe, might you have had an upscale interior? The instrument cluster and steering wheel is different.

abe 04-09-2023 07:34 AM

The steering wheel was from a 1971. The PO put in power steering.

I'm thinking the instrument cluster was different for the bigger trucks.

The Napco engine is not a 391 it's just a regular pickup or car judging from pictures. They air cleaner is from something else, Everything else for the hood scoop is missing underhood. The installer of the Napco decals must have been ill the day those were installed. Big truck are really cool to look at and ride in or drive once in a while. But best owned by someone else.

abe 04-09-2023 12:52 PM

So on the correct engine there's a snorkel connecting the air cleaner to the scoop?

The NAPCO labels are on crooked?

pintoplumber 04-09-2023 12:59 PM

Did you notice the exhaust routing when they put the y block in the ‘52?

Wondered if that was for the fuel tank. Perhaps it was used at a small airport. Or maybe after the Coop surplused it, a small construction company got it, exhaust modified with the install of the Yblock. Wonder when the 48-50 hood made its home there?

1952henry 04-09-2023 01:05 PM

Doesn’t appear to be a governor on the Napco.

That's weird, Dennis. I hadn't noticed that before. My first thought was that Big Jobs in 52 got Lincoln Yblocks. But an F6 isn't a big Job. Why'd they do it like that? No room ?

The right bank exhaust wouldn't really well, would it.

52 Merc 04-09-2023 05:11 PM

Routing exhaust out the fender instead of running it below the truck was common practice here in dryland wheat country. The hot exhaust would catch a dry field on fire, and that's never a good thing. Every big truck I parted out had the exhaust run like that.

Regarding the 70 F750, the dash in the larger trucks used a different gauge cluster than the 'regular' trucks we're familiar with. Interestingly, the entire 67-72 style dash was carried over through 79 in the larger trucks. It's strange to open a door of a large dentside and see the bumpside interior in it. Similarly, when the F series was restyled in '80, the 80 dash was used in the big trucks through 97.

^^^77 F600 ^^^


I'm no expert on large truck air cleaners, but from the build sheet included in the pics in the craigslist ad, the F750 was factory equipped with the 391 and the Clark 5 speed. From that picture, I couldn't say with any certainty one way or the other if the engine is a 390 or a 391.
