Күн бұрынSearching Facebook Marketplace we found a 62 Ford COE C600 Ford box truck for FREE!
It was parked in Santa Ynez Valley 30 years ago and the original owner passed away who bought the truck in Texas. It "ran" when parked but we were unsure of the condition of the engine. Our dream is to turn it into a Car hauler/ramp truck but we are so stoked to have it running with only some turns of a wrench and a hammer.
The next step will be installing a new fuel pump/ Carb and work on the brakes and clutch and see if it moves! stay tuned!

These had hydraulic clutches, so a new clutch master cylinder may have been all it needed for that. Must put in neutral to raise the cab. These were made for over 30 years so no problem finding cab or most mechanical parts. I worked for a company that had a dozen of these so lots of memories here. I see this one has power steering (pump on left side) which was a rare option. Companies rarely ordered driver comfort items.

I'd really like to see more of this. I'm currently working on a 1966 c600 myself.

No updates as of now trying to get some customer rides out of the shop before we do any projects! They are sweet forsure!

That thing reminds me of the trash trucks that were around when I was a kid they had the same cab on them that thing is like a rolling brick imagine the aerodynamics of that thing you can push wind wherever you go LOL!

I was thinking the same thing, they were the trash trucks in the 80s.

Someone once told me that the body was cobbled up from a pickup truck cab, maybe mounted backwards, but I can't see it. I guess maybe a panel or two might've been shared with the pickup, but the commercial cab is a lot taller. Aperature for the windshields does look like the rear window opening for the late 50's pickups (when this truck was designed). Love these old Ford cabovers. They were the mid-size trucks of the 60's and 70's.

It was certainly not cobbled, they were a total new design, first one in 57 and ended in the 90's with very little change in all those years. Much easier to tilt the cab if you open the doors and let them be balast. Always make sure the shifter is in neutral. They were very well built and designed.

@@scampsboytes9088 cabs were built by Budd, 1957-1990 to Ford spec. Used by a couple other companies under license, Mack for one, definitely not cobbled.

Greetings from the Ohio Porters. 😎 I had a 1965 C800 years ago! You found one nice old truck. Is that a 390 or 429 engine. I was shocked that it turned over and ran. Good stuff. Do a walk around when you get a chance. The cab doesn’t look too bad. The cab locking bar was design with a bent arm. Where are you guys located? Keep us posted.

That's almost certainly a 330. Could also be a 361.

@@brentbell9543 🇺🇸 Yeah, possibly. I thought it could be a 534 at first, but it doesn’t have the makings of the 534. I was impressed with the truck and the box as well. I love those old cabovers. They were so unique.🤩✌️

@@the.porter.productions that's an FT ford engine for sure, and the 2 barrel carburetor tells me it's a 330 or 361.

No 429s in 1962. It would be a 390. They also had the 477/534s which were the super duty engines.
