Reminds me of the first heavy truck I drove. A 1966
Ford cab over, 6 cylinders 5 gears I speed axle, 18
foot livestock rack. Didn’t go anywhere fast, but
always got there and back home again.

Our gas man when I was a kid always drove a red Ford cabover. I always liked the look of them.

Our Fire Dept had a C-8000. I wonder why anyone would want a cab forward single axle tractor though.

Drivers seat is actually AHEAD of the front axle, and on a rough road, the driver will be either hitting his head on the roof, being firmly planted in the seat, or more often than not, somewhere in between.

They were used for inner city delivery. Roadway used hundreds of them and a 28ft trailer.

First one I drove was a tractor hauler 57 Super Duty C750, with a beaver tail, 332 HD engine. Then added a SD C850, with an air lift ramp,
477 gas. Both were capable of hauling two Ford 5000s. Made many trips over Stevens and Snoqualmie Passes with that load.

Well Randy, yes they did but they were probably five foot shorter wheelbase.

That is a sweet looking truck to haul red tractors, but yah I can understand about the ride
