Popular Post 41chevy Posted September 29, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2014 A Red Ford I grew up with. My uncle Wilber Wright drove it for years. Atlantic Steamer "B" truck. This was our tournament truck for 20 years + . 392 Hemi, twin WCFB's, Mondello heads, Jahns pistons, Aeries Aluminum rods and a Crane roller cam. Approximately 600 h.p. by the mid 60's. I own the Hemi intact. I located the shell about 7 years ago but the owner will not ever sell it.

Red Horse Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Detroit 6V-53N and 6V-71N were an option in them from 1966 on.Well you made me dig out my "Ford Trucks since 1905" by J K Wagner. Great book. I could only find record of 6V-53's being offered in F and T series from 67 on. In any case, that super clean red T that OtherDog posted doesn't have raised roof so it is a pre 66. And for sure Wagner only lists the V-6 Cummins and the C-160/C-180 6 cyl Cummins.

other dog Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Detroit 6V-53N and 6V-71N were an option in them from 1966 on.I didn't know that either, I heard it running and thought somebody had swapped a 318 Detroit in it.

41chevy Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 My dealer spec book shows the 6-53N a limited F/T series option after August 1966, which is close to the model year production shift. It also shows from 1963 to 1966 on C, F,N and P (parcel chassis) there was a a English made Dagenham 330-cid 6 cylinder Diesel or a Dorset 363-cid 6 cylinder Diesel available for "Municipal Contract Trucks only" ( state and county trucks? ) Hollander Interchange show a D.D. 6V series interchange with the Dagenham with a FoMoCo conversion kit which it shows consists of mounts, linkage, coolant hoses, head pipe, Starter assembly and a misc hardware kit. After years anything is possible i suppose.
