    such a different world we live in; sad.. seems common sense has turned to parts changing at a VERY expensive cost .

    now that picture is a F-700 with a gold dog (maxi) on front ((?))and doors. I should have taken notes back then . Bozzotos of cheshire (down st from where I live now) had a fleet of F models back then ;; I'm thinking they were F600's ;maxi's with 5 speed. only F-700 I remember was the burgandy/ white F-700 from factory with the new experimental V-8 866 thermodyne .

    same differences as a R_600 vs R-700. basically drive train.

    You have the earlier version. I went and checked ;; mine is the ford louisville "short hauler" blue cab / silver box truck. it's AMT/ ERTL. not AMT/matchbox.. knew companies did the buy out route. yours is green cab silver box with a produce co. decal if memory is correct. like many things today the older version plastic models are made with better quality.
  12. mechohaulic
    one is an earlier version. I'd place bet the green/white is the earlier version. both same truck. easy way to tell is by the box. early one just AMT ; later box would be AMT/ matchbox?? companies bought out each other.

    worked 1/2 day at the farm then ''actually tried to "hide" from the world this afternoon by being in the basement to work on a 1/25th scale model that has been on the "production line "for months. did great till wife came back. LOL in case your wondering :: NO plastic glue and Yukon Jack don' t work well together.

    days of ole there was also a situation with the air bag itself leaking. not always the line to but also the ole bag itself. married men know about the ole bag full of air .

    back in the day; the fan was engineered to be in locked (on ) mode with AC. with fan off during AC operation engine could go into overheat situation. another nice item of days of old with roof mount AC units;; they were totally separate from engine operation. todays units having condenser in front of radiator along with intercooler and whatever else ;; the fan is set to stay on with AC. NOTE: this info based on old school.

    bought my Hino new in '93, best little workhorse ever. checked out the ford F-450 (?) . compared the hino to isuzu ; UD; of the day .Hino few $ more but worth it. 4 cyl with exhaust brake which worked well. cabovers way better than ford/ GMC . turning radius ; length . had a custom built flat bed dump made for it. chassis sat in my garage for a yr brand new waiting for me to build it. everyone else's iron came first; mine sat. sent it to Bobby Worden = excellent welder/ fabricator. difference from Hino vs my '77 F-350flatbed ;;; the ford was PTO hyd dump. Hino I went with electric over hyd dump.

    but it also depends on the ratio of mixture. coke is for "color" . I agree NEVER ruin Yukon. especially the 125proof bottle.
  20. mechohaulic

  21. mechohaulic
    mix it with Yukon Jack to make the difference;;; I do.
