Popular Post Jarhead Enterprises Posted January 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2016 This is a picture of my uncle Peter McCarthy (on left)-Vice President of Oneida County Rural Telephone Company in Holland Patent, NY the day they took delivery of a custom built 1964 Ford F-700 4x4 auger truck from Ed Blask of Dahl Motors Inc, Utica, NY. The truck was used to set telephone poles, was equipped with a front winch and would go nearly anywhere! Pete was a great guy loved by everyone who passed away in September 2015. I rode in this truck many times with him when I was a boy. Great memories. 8 Quote Jim Toussaint Division Operations Manager - Worldwide Equipment Inc Knoxville / Middlesboro / Crossville / Morristown / Asheville Highway Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43585-1964-ford-f-700-4x4-auger-truck/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

kscarbel2 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I always liked the styling of the U.S. market Ford N-Series. Sears and Roebuck operated hundreds of them.The Chevrolet E80 and W80, and GMC B-Series, reminded me a lot of the U.S. market Ford N-Series. You also are forced to think, if a GM engineer had been instructed to create a civilian version of the M135, they would be the result.. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43585-1964-ford-f-700-4x4-auger-truck/#findComment-320614 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Horse Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Thanks for the correction on the N-Series.And thx for posting the interesting shot-always nice when you have some family history to go along with it. One of the first "big trucks" I drove was a Ford NT-950. 250 Cummins, Rt-910 RR- spokes etc. This was late 60's and for its time it was a comfortable, and quiet-at least for its time. (had the "high roof" so it was 66 or later). Felt sorry though for anyone who had to work on the motor! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43585-1964-ford-f-700-4x4-auger-truck/#findComment-320648 Share on other sites More sharing options...
