She looks better in the photos, I've seen some really nice ones with low mileage on e-bay over the years, old, slow, but a lot of em still around. Not really something for everyday road use, but it does draw some attention for some reason. I'd really enjoy a '61-'66 stepside f-250 with fwd, or similar, seems to be a ton of parts to be had for these.
Guy up the road had a bunch of those ole ford tandems, he ran a trucking business, dumps and dump trailers, 5+4 trans, differential locks, 534's too, some were diesels, larger diesels kind of bypassed those type of trucks, he recently scrapped em all out too, I would have liked to have gotten one for a site truck. It seemed like ford sold a bunch of those, fair amount of em around still, kinda always liked the way they looked, overall not a lot of miles, though gas engines did not last as long then, if it ran good, someone should have found a home for her, they are nice site trucks, I ran one with a detroit and allison automatic on a site job years ago, the dump bed was real fast to raise up, never saw one so quick, small dump bodies compared to heavier tandems, old reyco or similar leaf spring suspensions, still thought they were a real tough truck though, not easy on fuel, but great for a farm.

At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
