Gary Lewis Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I had to flatbed it because it's not registered. 2k is a great deal for a clean truck this size with fully functional hydraulics... even all the lights work when we put a 'shop' battery in. Maybe I should keep it so Li'l Red would have a big brother to protect her? And I would have an '80-'86 truck of my own. The interior is dirty, but complete and unbroken. Wow! That's a LOT of truck! So what is the plan? What year is it? Does the 370 have the same bolt patterns as the 460? Can you run it in your truck, at least for a while?

Maybe I should just drive the dump truck for a week? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, why did they sell it? What will it cost to register it? Maybe it is your answer to a 2nd vehicle while Li'l Red is down. Then flip it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a lost cause, and the medium duty engines have a HUGE snout on the crank.... How would you feel about a pair of these?

I really appreciate it. But please don't worry about it. I think I can come up with the Ford medium duty grab handles, and would prefer them - assuming I even need them. Again, I appreciate your thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are just what I came up with to offer to trade with the OEM ones on the 600. (I had taken note of the condition of the plastic pads the red F-600 had) There's still the truck dismantler down Siler City way, if I ever get to my brother's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC isn't exactly next door, but if I do go I'm going to stop at the truck dismantler. Like I said, I have my eyes open day and night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
