bulldogboy Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 The Hollis, NH Fire Department used to run this 1956 Ford/Moody engine. Looks like a smaller F-600, not a "Big Job". I know that the New Ipswich, NH Fire Department once had a 1956 Ford F-700, "Big Job" engine, a Farrar I think. I saw it about 30 years ago sitting along Route 9 in the Antrim/Stoddard area of New Hampshire. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54940-classy-ford/page/2/#findComment-410868 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The diver of truck 156 was Ezradia Swift who later in life (after a string of dump truck errors) decided to go OTR and hired former grifters and neer do wells to drive and train drivers. Ezradia was shooting of a 85% accident rate because of his dreams of inter state demo derbies.

41chevy Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) Never saw that type but did look at a 1942 Ford with this set up. Made by a company call 6 Wheels Inc in the 1930's to late 40'2. Also made a chain drive set up called Maxi Drive Dual Chain Drive.
