jakebrake86 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I feel like the asking price is a little high, but it sure is tempting. Just needs an extra shifter.http://truckpaper.com/listingsdetail/detail.aspx?OHID=4032249 1 Quote Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Nice looking truck. I think them day cab F models look cool. Still has the gold on that 237. Thats hot right there. I like the 5 speeds, thats what my little U685ST has. TRL1076 to be exact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakebrake86 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Yep, I've got a 74 western day cab f model that I'm trying to decide what to do with. The 237's no good, but the 5 speed is ok as far as I know. I just don't like the reyco suspension or the questionable frame splice. I'm about to swap a couple loads of gravel for a 79 allentown f model sleeper cab with a 300 with the top mount air to air (Is this what you guys call a tip turbine?) Both trucks are the same wheelbase, so I'm thinking about swapping the western day cab onto the allentown frame. When I become a little more computer literate, I'll post some pics. I know how much you guys like pics. Quote Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how much you guys like pics.Two loads of gravel for a F model is a good deal. 5 speed is bullet proof, and easy to drive, haha. Pictures would be good. If I expained that process to you, it would be kinda long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakebrake86 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 My problem is getting them off my old samsung rugby onto my computer. The phone's about as bulletproof as your old 5 speed, but not the latest in Japanese technological advancement. Or I just don't know how to use it. Probably the latter. 1 Quote Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james j neiweem Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 That F700 would make a great Smith transfer/overnitre/or Jones recreation . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike69mackman Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 7500 is a little steep for a daycab but still a nice restorable truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakebrake86 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Does anybody know what's up with the air cleaner? My F model has a Farr air cleaner, but it looks like this truck has two stacked on top of one another. Quote Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
