Redneckdavis 308 #627 Posted August 6, 2020 That is a very nice truck.. and I believe they are so ugly that they're cool:) I'd drive it but honestly, based off the number of 70's Dodge's I've seen vs Ford's and Chevy's. They had to have been a POS. I never see them, and when I do, they are never on the road. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can let you know how bad they are in a little bit. I just bought this and am bringing it home in a couple days. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

16 Automatic 53 #630 Posted August 9, 2020 Got it home. New fuel pump and it runs and drives. Will pressure wash and clean it today. Here is how it looked 10 years ago when they took it out of service. 4 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sweet, when I was growing up my dad had a 1950 Stud that he bought in 1962 when he came back home (from serving in the Army as a Ranger stationed in Germany) to haul pulp wood on but by the time I was old enough to remember it was just a hay/wood hauler thanks for posting. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bottjernat1 2194 #637 Posted August 25, 2020 My late dad owned a few old trucks. He owned a 49 dodge flatbed once talk about a pooch. That truck had no guts. Then I remember our 1951 ford f7 I miss it the most. That truck had a flathead v8 in it totally rebuilt by my dad and uncle jim. Then a 1960 ford custom cab i sold when he died and the last truck was our 1964 ford f600 it was south milfords water tanker my late dad bought it with only like 2364 miles on it. When i sold it to a kid locally it had only 17,000 original miles. I miss the old gal everyday. It went to a good home tho. I didnt want it to sit i was afraid she would rot into the earth and i didnt want that. it fired up every time. it sat ever sisnce my dad died i went out to my inlaws and started it and checked her fluid every once in a while. It is now on the road again i keep in touch with the kid i sold it to his friend bought it. I drove the old girl to my last day of highschool with my now wife. It was a hit at the school! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bottjernat1 2194 #640 Posted August 25, 2020 Welp found the original title my dad had for the 64 ford f600 when he bought it from the fire department. I took photos of it before i transferred it to my name and sold it. look at the miles! The sad thing was they drove it on the trailer but hauled it home with a stinkin chevy.
