Got ahold of Jr, He said "It is the origional old spur geared 4 speed ,and a later model electric eaton 2 sped axle. Glad you enjoyed the sound of an old ford V-8
Thanks, TheDbc351c!!! I've had the pleasure of knowing J.R. n' Sharon ever since I was stationed out at Mountain Home AFB. They're just as fine folks as the wrecker !

beautyful darlings ,the wrecker[V8 side or headvalve engine?] and the old [51?] trailertractor,those trucks have a soul,never don''t forget it! my dad was owner from a49 f6 and I miss him still !!
Chris thanks for comment I'll pass on to JR owner of Wrecker. The other tractor and trailer are being preserved for posterity. The trailer is a 40's Fruehauf single axle Cattle trailer. i beleive its 28-32 Ft. vacum brakes.Have a good one....
@GloucesterFisherman I Agree, its not mine , its a friends, i had to post some vids ! , this thing deserves to be shared to all. it covers so much , a vintage working vehicle, history, rareity, art, and most importantly just plain FUN !
Terrific wrecker and love that flathead sound! Does he have a synchro 5-sp in it or is it the 4-sp w/2-sp rear axle? He's good with the gears in any case!
Actually, that is not correct. F1 had a 3 speed helical (synchro), and there was an optional 4 Speed Synchronized (T-98) available for the F4, 5 & 6. The T-98 was standard on the F^ with the 254 cu in 6 cylinder.
Good looking rig, motor sounds great, outstanding job
