Title: 1975 Ford F-500 Custom Cab 4-Speed Delivery Truck

Something you don't see everyday--thought it was interesting.

I'd split the deal with anyone who wanted anything left over...
I want the cab, fenders, hood, grill and front bumper. In other words, just the cab body. No frame, no drivetrain, no bed...

What I would fashion out of it would offend every breathing restoration fan.

Which is all to say, in my little twisted corner of the world....
That thing is cool.

     I'd probably be watching that truck more closely if it just had the 534 cu. in. Super Duty engine in it; but I think one has to move up to the F-700 to get that puppy!   ::)

That thing is pretty sweet... ramp truck build anyone?

I know where a 65 truck with a 534 is. Only three miles from me so less than twenty bucks worth of gas to drive it here! One guy thought it'd make a great ramp truck (tandem axle) but when the farmer told him the gas mileage he decided maybe not.

Look for old fire trucks if you want to find a 534.  Typically very low mileage (although often with a shit ton or 2 of hours), and impeccably maintained.
