Pics of 60's med duty trucks?

[nevrenufhp]

I'm in the idea stage of a project. I was going to do a 66 F250 or an IH Travelette crew cab with a Cummins 6BT. Next idea was a 66 F600 crew/& hopped up 93-95 DT466, but the only picture I've seen has an ugly front end & I lose the look of the (big brother)F250. Is there any other MD trucks to look at that have "style" to them, preferably crew cab? Just trying to get a mental picture put together.

All in all this is a kinda rough around the edges truck, but not really in that bad of shape, especially for the age, and money spent. Not much work will get it lookin like a real fine example of when ford built trucks as TRUCKS

Thanks, that's more than I've seen on the inside before. I don't really know anyone around here that has one to go check it out. Now if a DT466 would fit.....

Dale,

You might want to check some of the early 70's Fords. They seemed to have a lot of room under the hood and weren't bad lookin. My dad's old F-250 highboy with a 391/4speed/divorced transfer case & Dana 60's was one tough truck.

He gave it to me and even I couldn't destroy it as a teenager.

I saw a cool F600 crew on FTE, it was a 67-69-ish. Just about right. I'm gonna have to find a stinkin' med duty bone yard!...I guess I need money though

A guy here in town has a 59 Chevy Apache 40 crewcab. It's a 3-door railroad conversion. Let me tell you, it is one looooong truck. Originally, it came with a shortbox, but years ago it was lengthened to an 8' standard bed. The worst part is, that the 40 series sheetmetal is different than either 10/20/30, or 50/60 series(med duty), restoring one can be quite a challenge.

Sorry I didn't get any pics last time they were dragging it from shed to shed.

Definitely something different.

Maybe the guy can email you a pic of this truck. sorry its not a crewcab. Price is right!

This would be excellent with a diesel motor dropped in it.

There is a fellow on the Mack webpage that is putting a 6Bt in a B model. Taking a later model stepvan chassis, installing motor then putting B model cab over it. Kinda neat idea.

Personally I just want a long hood 70's KW with a 12v DD in it...
Now, that would be cool... :draw

My first truck was a '72 1210 series IH pickup. What a truck that was!! 345/4 spd and enough springs out back to support the Queen Mary :Sly

I saw a early 70's crewcab 4wd IH pickup last summer at a show. All restored, red/white, red velour interior, alum. wheels.............
Friend grew up with Travelalls. His dad had couple mid 60's and a 71. Neat, ugly pieces(one was even green w/ woodgrain! )

......just read in a "Truck Trend" magazine article about the IH "MXT" that IH is intending to get back in the 3/4 & 1 ton truck business.

I couldn't think of anything better that could happen in the full size truck market. If IH plays its' cards right, it could be a force to be reckoned with.

Sorry to get off topic.

You know, if you could find an old IH 1300 series 4x4 and drop a 5.9 in it.....WOW, that'd be some truck, huh? :draw

 

[Freightrain]

Back when I had my binder, I had never seen a 1210 series before, only 100/200/ etc. I'm not sure what it was rated for, but I would definitely classify it as a "TRUCK"!

FWIW, it was a township truck originally, I got it at auction when they were cleaning up. Paid $150 for it and needed a clutch. Driving it home I forgot the hood latch didn't work well AND the inner fenders were gone(so no hinges)...coming down a slight hill the hood decided to exit stage UP!!!. Woosh, up, it was gone! Luckily I was only going 30-35 mph, and buddy was following me. The RR brake worked too good and locked up as I tried to slow down. I left a 200 ft black mark down that hill and the hood landed safely leaning up against a tree in a yard

...........to be 16 again.............

I like the IH travelette (krew kab) idea, but never seen one as a med. duty. I like the flow of the fenders on the mid 60's Ford & IH, but would rather have it in med. duty so a DT466 can fit. The old Mack B has those cool classy lines too. Sorry Mark, that COE thing is a little too......something. Another alternate is a 93-95 IH 47-4900 short enough for a flat bed of some sort, almost a CXT.
