Popular Post BillyT Posted August 6, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2016 The two H models and the B are all beautiful! Like the way Ford took the C cab and added the larger sleeper. Became a legitimate contender as an otr horse.Like Mowerman said were mostly " bug" haulers,but my friend hauled steel with one.The first commodity I ever hauled was bedbugs for an Allied Van Lines contractor in a"crackerbox Jimmy." 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46333-b-model-and-2-story-falcon/#findComment-341489 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxfymn Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I never thought about it before, but I guess the "H" designation came from being halfway between the "C" and the "N" that the truck was the offspring of. Someone at Ford was pretty clever. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

Someone at Ford was pretty clever. The H came out in 1961 and the N came out in 1963. Maybe because the H was first, the next jump was to N. But it is one letter off .

BillyT Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Phase one,you're dead right! I'm used to seeing the "shelf" sleeper without the xtra width,was fibreglass I think.But was an option on the C and the H.I never liked the C too much but the sleeper "makes" the truck! How about remove the stock grille and pan but leave every thing else(so it can be returned to stock)and put in a 54 Chevy grille with xtra teeth!
