I was on a trip to Oregon this week and came across this awesome example of a rugged work truck. 


f700 badge
bed bob
bed of stuff
front ford axle
homebrew wiring
rear axle
pto winch

The hood badge says Ford 750, but I'm not sure the whole story.  I think the hood isn't original to the rest of the truck.  The crewcab model looks factory, but the bed has definitely been shortened along with the frame and the tools used might very well have been a torch or a chainsaw.  It has a closed knuckle drum brake front axle that looks to be a low pinion Dana 44 with some sort of steering ram assist, and the rear axle is a Dana 60.  A neighbor said it is owned by a man who works as a logger and he drives it down the hill every day before heading off to the woods to fell some trees.  It's a bit rough around the edges, but it has that perfect looks of a truck that is used daily for work.  if you know any more on this truck please comment.











UPDATE!



CHECK THIS OUT!  You can still get a Ford F-750
