Dougsr Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 A friend and I found an old Ford 600 or 700. We have not went back to get it yet. We was going to give it a good looi inside but it was full of them red flying watch dogs. I have been looking for a good place to find body parts and a windshield for the big trucks. Down below the grill it has three holes. I have saw a couple on line that had two holes. I don't know if the three holes was a bigger truck than the two holes. We are going to put the dump bed we removed from the B model Mack on it. If anyone knows a good place for parts for the bigger Fords let me know.Doug Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32582-1958-or-59-ford-f600-pr-f700/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 It looks as if the holes are there to allow for more air to reach the radiator. The Ebay truck has a 292 c.i. engine but in 1958 the engines up to 534 c.i. were available.My source:http://fordofwestmemphis.blogspot.com/2009/01/1950-1959-ford-trucks.html Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32582-1958-or-59-ford-f600-pr-f700/#findComment-203430 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougsr Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 We went back today and bought the old truck. We will have to go back in a couple of weeks to get it. Does anyone know where the tag is for these trucks. We did not have any wasp spray so we did not look to good.Doug 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32582-1958-or-59-ford-f600-pr-f700/#findComment-207958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougsr Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 The body is in pretty good shape. It still has the old engine and trans in it. It looks like a 292 but not sure.Doug Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32582-1958-or-59-ford-f600-pr-f700/#findComment-207963 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Horse Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 That for sure is NOT a 58. It is a 59 or 60 and is an F-800 IMO. The guy that Matt is talking about in Hamden Conn. goes by the business name of Chuck's Trucks. I thought I picked up a card of his at the 2012 ATHS National in Springfield but can't find it. Old Ford trucks though are his specialty. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32582-1958-or-59-ford-f600-pr-f700/#findComment-207964 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougsr Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 If you get his info you can post it for me. It will be a good while before we work on it. We just wanted to save it from the scrapper. We are going to have to get back on the B Model Mack before long. Problem is we have a lot of projects.

Phase 1 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 The three holes show that it is a heavy duty model, I think that started with the F700. The F600 did not have running boards. The number of wheel studs may also give a clue to the size. Most of the cab parts should be the same for all the F series. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32582-1958-or-59-ford-f600-pr-f700/#findComment-207969 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougsr Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 He has a modern running gear to put in it. He already has engine two speed rear end front end with a power steering and trans all out of the same truck.

Brocky Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Dougstr That is definitely a 59 or 60. Ford used the same grille both years above F-700. It would have the "Super Duty" Ford designed heavy truck engine which came in three sizes, can not remember the smallest but the other 2 are a 477 and 534. The 534 would run with a 220 Cummins and pass everything but a gas station!! Contact Michelle Cole in Smithville TX. MichellHC@aol.com She is the Ford Guru Has an N-950 and a LTL 9000. Her dad was a Ford shop foreman back in the 50's and 60's and she has all the old shop manuals. My 55 F-600 has the serial number tag inside the glove box door but they might have moved it by 59-60.

Dougsr Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 I hauled a few logs with an old super duty. It was the next body style. It had the 534 bored out with a 5 and 3 trans. That old sucker would fly. It was hot in the summer time. When you would turn around in the woods you would have to get someone to stand on the running board to help you. We did not piggy back the pole trailers back then. I drove the L series most of the time with a 475 with the 5 and 4. I was a happy camper when we got the L 9000 with the little 270 with the 7 speed. I did haul a few with the F 750 talk about make your butt pucker.

Maddog13407 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 yup that's a 59 or 60. the 500 and 600's I believe you could get 5 or 6lug. no rhyme or reason either, I have seen 53-56 fords with both 5 and 6 studs in 5 and 600 numbers. think when they went to 700 and 750 later it was 8 and 10 stud wheels. the tag is usually in the glove box or in the driverside door jamb. the 477 and 534's would pass everything but a gas station. every old Ford I remember smelled like raw gas .

Dougsr Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Your right arm was bigger from all the shifting those gas burners with the 5 and 4 and the 5 and 3 trans. We did not gas them up the night before so no one would swipe your gas.

NoClueJoe66 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Looks like a f7 by the vin, but i thought f8 and bigger trucks had the 8 lug wheels.
