That's what the ad says, ever seen one of these? Looks like an F350 or larger.

I'm guessin' an F500 or bigger...??? It's NOT a '57 for certain, so again I'm guessin' '58 or '59??? Not real familiar with this era truck as I'd like to be...

Early Ford Crews were NOT manufactured by Ford...they were jobbed to outside vendors. You'll notice that the rear doors' hinges are exposed as opposed to being inside the cab.

Really Neat truck regardless...Thanks for sharing :thup:

Kent bought that truck from me. I discovered that truck going to waste in a field in the Hermiston, Oregon area. It's a 1960 body style but it is titled as a 1964. It's all legit with a matching military data plate. My understanding is that when the military would place an order the trucks may all be built in sequence, but they may not be titled until they were shipped which may take several years. It is a 500 series and the cab is manufactured by Orville Sheet Metal company (the data plate is still on the rear seat). For it's age and it's use it is in pretty good shape.

An interesting side note; I found the shortbed that is on the back on a neighbors property. The were using it as a chicken coop. It's rough but salvagable.
