Red Horse Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Wow- I wonder what the life span of that air cleaner was? With that 6V -53 under that alligator hood you would have thought there would have been room to stick it under the hood with a big air scoop. Any clue when this picture was taken? By the looks of the vehicles in background not that long ago?

1965 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) That air cleaner looks out of place. 6V53’s were tough engines but not designed for trucks. (My opinion) no 2 strokes were designed for trucks!

Red Horse Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Hah wonder if that went through the Manning Equipment mod center at Louisville??😎 Actually I like that 52-F-7 or F-8 blowin' smoke. And what is with that turbo noise in virtually every one of these trucks?? And I guess "side Pipes" were the in thing in ?Mexico??

TS7 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I would bet that somewhere in South America some one has built a FT-850 or even a FT-9500 with a sleeper from a 2000+ F-750.
