Red Horse Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 ok here's my other red ford a 64 856 superduty it had a 401 when new now it has a 534 5x2 trans heil dump box. tough ole truck!I think you have a typo- that is a 1960. Total cab change in 61. The Super Duty came out in 1958 and were distinguished by an "egg crate" grill. In 59 grill was changed to horizontal bars, and the 60 was the same but had the chrome "Super Duty" script across the front of the hood. In any case if that is a current photo, nice truck for sure! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35390-red-fords/page/4/#findComment-281986 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most at the time powered by Hot Rodded Rolls Royce, Packard or Allison V-12 Aircraft engines of 2000 or more horse power. The race on an oval course 5 to 10 at a time. These would run 100 to 125 mile per hour. 1 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35390-red-fords/page/4/#findComment-285513 Share on other sites More sharing options...

1951 Mack LJ Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I have had 2 Red Ford L-8000 dump trucks. The first was a 1987 powered by a 3208 turbo diesel with 10 speed and the second was a 1995 with 8.3L cummins and a not so great 7 speed spicer. Both great for getting in tight places. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35390-red-fords/page/4/#findComment-285792 Share on other sites More sharing options...
