riding through the country in the fall

larry@stinescorner · Oct 20, 2014

Its always nice in the fall to see the old grain trucks waiting around,,,Ford sure did make a nice looking truck didnt they?

The grill on this one was all chrome,,,what year would it be? I dont know

larry@stinescorner · Oct 20, 2014

heres another one,not as pretty?

JDemaris · Oct 20, 2014

Not a grain truck, and not NJ. Ford and Fall, yes. In my "backyard" in Worcester, Otsego County, NY.
I sold the truck but the buyer never came to get it. Might have to scrap it this spring.

Put that along side today's boy's toys. What a difference.

'49-50??? 100 hp flat head V8, 3 on the floor, probably a heater up there (here heater was added extra), vacuum wipers, drum hydraulic (no power assist) brakes that need adjusting every week or so, recip ball steering (no power assist) 1000# load capacity, probably no radio but if one a little vibrator powered AM....don't see an antenna, no radio. Ford F100.

How many did I get right? Grin

I think 1974 my brother has a f600 with chrome grill.

its yours to do as you like, however sure hate to see all those parts and possibly truck that could be restored go to scrap.

dr sportster · Oct 20, 2014

Noooooo, you can't scrap that one. That style is classic.

Stan - Florida · Oct 20, 2014

Could be a '48, as that's the year they changed to that style.

Would be an F-1, as they didn't go to the 100/250/350, etc. until '53.

Pretty good assessment though, for a young feller like you.

74/77, Judging the size of the FORD I'm
leaning to 76/77

That JD 7720 combine was a good machine and is still very usable. I have hours in a 4420 and a 6620 Titan II. I would take one of those over these joystick and toggle switch models any day!

Wish I had that here in central Ohio.

Bob Bancroft · Oct 20, 2014

I had a "Fleetstar" 2050A, I think it was. 1978- last year of production before the S series. Had a factory DT466, which some people didn't believe-but I had the line ticket! It had a single rear axle, with air shifted two speed. Also air wipers. "Bostrom" torsion bar seat- hadn't they figured out the air seats by then?

JDemaris · Oct 20, 2014

It's a 1950. I had two of them, side by side. The buyer took the best one (that ran) and never came back for the one in the photo. Both had the bigger Mercury flathead V8s. 255 cubic inches.
The one in the photo does have the remnants of an old tube radio inside. The one that is gone is a F2. Not sure about the one in the photo (I don't remember off hand).
