The ancient cigarette pack and beer cans on the floorboard are the cherry on top

It looks to be the late 60s to early 70s, and it is either a 331, 361, or 391 XD engine, which were the industrial versions of the pickup motors. I drove a F600 in that same color many, many moons ago. It's faded, but you can see the actual color in the interior. I worked for an oilfield construction company at the time that had a fleet consisting of F600 and F750 trucks. I was a young pup of 19 years in 1972 when I became an "accomplished" Jen Pole Truck Operator when a driver in a sweet F600, after backing up to a bundle of boards we'd been stacking, stepped from the cab to get a drink of water and stepped on a 60 penny nail which went straight threw his foot popping out the top of his work boot, and when he went to pick up his foot, the 16-foot white oak board road board came with it, and he passed out. The foreman hollard, "Can any of you drive that wench truck?" these nails that hold a "board road" together are about a 1/8 inch in diameter and 7 inches long. Men walk behind the "rippers" who, with specially modified steel pinch bars, peel the boards of a board road apart, bending the nails that can't be pulled, and they will miss a few. I'd been watching these drivers since I was hired on to the gang with Envey; I loved driving machinery and had a knack; I had already learned the backhoe and small dozers. I just jumped right in, fired her up, yelling for the crew to wrap the cable around the bundle, and I took off. I did such a good job. That's all I did after that, and I loved it. My truck had the 391 XD engine, 5-speed with a two-speed rear axle with the "splitter" solenoid on the shift column. Most of the time, it was muddy, and you often used the heavy bundles of boards slung low to bounce you out of bad spots as you drove hard and shifted fast; what a job! Then I met a girl.

Whoever built that truck was a real man

A Ford F600 Crew Cab dually 4x4 with a Marmon Harrington drive train and PTO main winch with A-Frame! Now that the most manly beast of a truck you could ever find! Congratulations!

I'm a machinist, and used to have a biz doing custom one off diesel conversions, 90% into classic 4x4's, so I've always had a soft spot for those early 4x4 conversions. I guess I just feel a connection to people who need something they don't make yet, so they make it themselves. You've got a lot of neat rigs in your museum, but this is one of the coolest. Can't wait to see the referb

Love these old ford trucks. Should be a 460. Had one just like it

[wreckerjonny]

I had a yellow one of those . It was a 71 f600 fire truck had a pto winch in front bumper and the other side went backwards for the pumper. Had military Rockwell's under it hi and lo range twin stick transfer case shifter.

Great find!!! Really cool truck, great piece of history and functional design.

[michaelnault]

That's the only one I've ever seen. The Back Yard Beast!

[chrisj]

I'd turn that into my going to town rig. Absolutely gorgeous

[TheWoodButcher]

That's awesome! That transfer case blows my mind. Cool looking truck, definitely a rare one.

[Shagnasty]

Has always you got another nice looking lady. Can't wait to hear her start. Thank you for showing this lady.

[JorgeDiaz-lyqp]

WHAT a COOL rig!!! I'm gonna say it is no later than a 1974 - my money is on 1973. The fact that it is a crew cab makes it an absolute keeper. GREAT snag!!!

[iamrichrocker]

amazing what the oil fields and highway construction has done for truck lovers..and you scored well Mr.BYA..

[proximap]

Beautiful truck! Looks like a late 60's early 70's.. Shes a biggin! very nice!!

[mtnbound]

I just love the rugged simplicity of these old work trucks. no frills nothing but what was needed to get the work done. also they can be fixed by just about anyone with some time behind a wrench and a few simple parts. so much space in the engine bay!

[AwsomMerc]

Austin you scored again. What a beast rig. Your right, It's a shame it's memories are lost like Tears In The Rain. Course it'll make more with you. Probably the most fun ones of it's life. 🍻👊😎👍🍻
