Mike, it looks like you pulled a “Camarata!” Andrew is definitely smiling. Congrats on the new old girl. She’s a beaut.

This truck brings back many memories for me. My dad had a 74 Ford F600 with a 390 gas engine when I was growing up. It had a 14' dump bed. We made wooden side racks for hauling gravel and dirt. A set for hauling grain and also a set for hauling cattle. It was our go to truck. I saw it about 3 weeks ago hauling mulch from the local saw mill. Still going strong. Thanks for the video Mike.

What a nice old dump truck. Every old kid needs one.

You're a pretty tough negotiator, Mike. LOL Old Blue fits really well. Looks to me she's got at least a few more loads left in her. Old Fords never die, they just take on new responsibilities, like mosquito control.

Mike, I'm a firm believer in, if the seller is asking $400 for a product and it's worth $400 to me I never try to nickel and dime the seller for a couple of bucks. It's demeaning. I was already a fan of the show, now I'm a bigger fan.
Bet the 81 yr old man was grateful.

3208 Cat. Teamed with an automatic transmission, this power train in a ford chassis was my favorite fire truck. Purred like a kitten. Take care of her and she will take care of you.

I’m a firm believer in, if someone makes a rememberable impression on you the best way to honor them is to name something after them. Sounds like the 81 yrs old man was fair, honest, and took great care of the Ford dump truck. Congratulations on owning another Ford.

I see it doubles as a mosquito control vehicle too. LOL!!!

Mike, you are so fortunate that Melissa is on board with a purchase like that! If I brought that home, I'd be sleeping in the cab! 😱🥶

Old blue definitely fits not only for the color but the blue smoke it puts off. I love old trucks like that. Can’t wait to see more of it

[BirdYoumans]

Wheezer. You're going to become fond of the old girl I can tell. I couldn't help but smile when you drove it up the hill and it came into view. New adventure time. I enjoy your channel.

Mike, it is rare to see decency, values, and truths still represented by a hand shake deal these days. The 81 year old Man said well make me an offer. You said well, what about $3000. 👏🤝

[MrTrikidiki]

Name recommendation: “Ole Smoky” and better not let the EPA see this video. Love ❤️ it!! 😊

[jamesjohnson]

Thats a great old dump truck! Thanks for showing the big tow trucks !! Way better than watching TV show!!

[ChrisFiggatt]

That truck is a gem!! The best part….no emissions or DEF!

[oldjarhead]

Love the truck, Mike! Congratulations. Just imagine all the stuff you can do with it & to it. Most everything on these older trucks can be fixed with bailing wire & duct Tape... I like BRUTUS!

Good morning from Waxhaw, NC. named after the Waxhaw Indian tribes that lived back in the day in this area, in case you were wondering (The Land of the Waxhaws). Wow, what a surprise!! I can see a whole new venue of things that you can do and possibly a new revenue stream being created. Don't forget to put your "Outdoors With The Morgans" Youtube Channel sticker on the doors. God bless and here's wishing you a blessed day.

What a GREAT intro for OL BLUE coming up the hill...Back in the 1950 s my dad had an old DODGE pickup, he put a dump body on it.. U had to hand pump to get it to dump... Played with it for havent thought of that for GOD BLESS YOU ALL...

[davidashcraft]

I think I would go ahead and get it inspected and roadworthy if it wouldn’t take too many extra $. It will haul more than your trailer, you could save the haul bill on small loads and you could spread your own rock. Just my .02
Nice find!
