We still have a 1967 F600 at my Dad's place. Used it for hauling hay, firewood, and taking cows to the sale barn. Bucking bales on the truck was pretty interesting since the deck is about 5 feet off the ground. Dump bed sure came in handy for unloading wood quickly. Wear earplugs when you're driving it on the highway. I wish I did now.
Thanks for the ride, man. I enjoyed it. I gotta get me a hula gal for the dashboard of my '67 N700 with a 391 Industrial and a 20' bed. That oughta be room enough!
Cool video. Have a 1964 that's pretty much the exact same setup that I'm in the process of going through. These old trucks are such a blast. Some folks just don't know. Enjoy it!
I've been looking at a 1960 f-602 that's being sold around here that's gonna need some work. I love your video and it makes me want to go get it right now.
Nice ride you have there. I had an older ford dump that was a tank. Hate the way all old vehicles grind but it doesn't seem to bother em. Like your hula girl. My dad had one on his arm from the navy. Hula girl got fat when his arms got big. LOL
I bought a 66 F600 in November of 1972 and it had only 22,000 miles on it. still have it with a winch and gin poles. I got too expensive to insure and the Hyd brakes where always needing work and those brake boosters are high dollar. Its got over 160,000 miles on it now. The 330 is worn out. I plan to swap in a 262 six cyl engine from a 61 truck.
You need a cdl for anything that's used for comersial hauling with a max combined weight of 26,001 pounds ( trailer and truck max gvw combined) mine is at mgvw of 24,000, would only need it if I'm pulling an equipment trailer AND for comersial use.
That #30 is purring just running so smooth
I like the sound of the engine and transmission!
That suspension keeps the hula girl busy!
Great video. Just picked up a 66 F600 and learning the split rear. These old trucks really are awesome!

Thank you for the video. So many memories about riding with my grandpa in one F-700 dump truck of the same era.

I’m working on one to
That is a smooth running old truck.
Great video, I wasn't concerned about the shifting lesson, just liked the tour.
Sounds like it has an exhaust manifold leak, or leaky doughnut gasket where the exhaust pipe connects to the manifold.
Please make more of these. Awesome view - would be cool to see some cold starts with that view
you look like your enjoying the old truck, nicely done

What a music to my ears!
Oh yes, just like the grain truck I used to drive. Loud v8, no power steering. Not driving that 55 loaded up
Haha I've done it. Its not too bad but it wanders a little definitely needs front end work
I have one identical. But I have the 300 six straight piped it sounds like a Cummins everything still works even cigarette lighter
I love those old trucks.
Love these old trucks

Missing the accelerator pedal huh? Mine is the same way.
That is awesome!

Cool but sounds like your missing a couple cylinders! Glad to hear they are all slow, not just mine LOL!
Awesome!!!
Did they ever make any of these old trucks with automatics? If they did, they were very rare.
The two speed rear end can be shifted two ways, one is with the clutch or the gas pedal.
My Grandfather had this same truck his was blue 330 cubic inch four speed with 2speed axle. He set marble monuments here in and around Atlanta Georgia
My dad had a 71 f-750 dump like new I learned to drive and use the 5spd split axle at 13. We are from Conyers Georgia and landscaped.
Hell yea
Ooooohhhhhhh my brakes
Bom 👍
my name is Les Bailey,i have a 57 F600 dump truck .440 727 4x4 same color!What are the odds?
I was wondering if it’s easy to get parts for these trucks or not.
It's not bad, napa, ebay and rockauto are all good suppliers.
I thought it looked like Whatcom County
Yup up here near everson
Would you decode my F600 dually dump truck for me?
F 60 D6R-26457
In-line 6 cylinder
I could somehow send you a picture of the placard. Thanks.
oooooooohhhhhhhh my brakes
I just purchased one of these and wondering if a cdl is need to drive

If it doesn't have air brakes, you're fine
How many mpg you Wrekin ?
Probably about 8. Never filled the tank all the way to do the math, I would need a loan.
@@b.paddenmaintenanceandrepa2872 any idea how big the tank is? I'm currently looking at one
@@zragevii4705 probably about 30 or 40 gallons
@@b.paddenmaintenanceandrepa2872 cool, thank you
It’s a 4 speed… high and low, so 4+4 = 8 so it’s really a 10 speed? Explain? Just Mis spoke maybe?
5 speed with granny
It would've been nice to see the outside of the truck.
