1965 F700

[67RModel]

Saw this on Marketplace. 1965 F700 with V8 Detroit. Pretty unique truck. Looks very complete and very nice shape for the age and almost a steal price wise. No affiliation. Thought some here might be interested.

Price is definetely right on that one. Likely have way more into moving it.

I saw that too. Looks like quite the deal especially if that trailer comes with it.

I remember 1500 wow that’s a steel. I’m sure it’s not gonna last thanks for the post …..  seems if remember as a young kid I saw a lot of them were Detroit ooooooohhhhh don’t get me wrong wrong,,,;; most of them Mack engine …bob

Isn't that a F600? 

I honestly am not a specialist. But those tortion bar attachments below the headlight panels give me that thought. I can't see the other pics to check out the frame rail shape though.

I don’t know I had  a 62 F600  and It looked exactly the same as that one… bob

If you look closely at the emblems they do say F700. Plus it has a vendor engine (Detroit 8V71) which is typically in 700 series chassis.

Here is some more pics.

I like that breather pipe sticking out of the valve cover...is that because DDs have so much blowby? Just kidding.

F600's had chassis rails of the shape similar to a R-model.

F700's had their special rails but I observed the later years truck only.

So would be cool (to me) to learn which style early F700 had (if they were existed at all?)

Of possible cases popping up in my mind could be the same rails as on the late F700's, possibly RD rails (same front end shape as an R but with higher section) or just F600 (R600) rails with inner channels.

The truck in the add must be a cool animal with V8 screamer. My personal preference is Mack engines in a Mack truck but two strokers is exotic overhere. Don't even remember of any running truck in the country with a two-stroke Detroit.
