Location: Dellslow, West ("By God") Virginia ! | Lookey here! Unheard of low miles!
'95 F0rd F-700 18' flat w/ratchet tie downs!
429 5-speed/2-speed rear.
25K ORGINAL miles! Orginal paint! Orginal tires!
Ohio Amish owned/used. kept inside.
Sell the bed, and put on what ever you want! That is what I was going to do. Make a dump truck out of it. But, wifey and middle daughter didn't want to shift all those gears hauling their horsey feces.
I picked up a F-700 dump, with an Allison

Location: STL, MO | What did they use that truck for? Daytons & tubes,w/deluxe cab, stainless mirrors & tank straps,chrome bumper! Musta been something that took up a lotta space but doesnt weigh much like lumber but I dont see rollers on the bed, plastic pipe or siding maybe? |

Location: Dellslow, West ("By God") Virginia ! | Steve! ALL that chrome and stainless, "I" put on! The Amish don't believe in 'brightwork' There was some sorta spray on plastic film, on the mirrors.
I sent that bumper off ($$$) and had it chromed The stainless flap, and cab skirts, tank straps I made. I went to the F0rd dealer and got the chrome parking light doors.
I got the chrome lug nut/hubcap covers, but keeping them.
I was planning on either making a stainless tubed grille or seeing about having that one chromed, when wife and daughter said they didn't want to drive the truck.
I got it, this Feb, 3 years ago. I had the bed sold, made an appointment out in Ohio, at a dump bed company, they were going to powder coat, install a 9' long 3' high brand new dump bed. for under 5K.
But as i said, wifey and middle duahger didn't want to shift all those gears, So i got a older F-700 Allison 10' dump.
I just kept the Amish truck, you know, 'just in case' because one doesn't run across a truck of that size, with that kind of low mileage, every day.
I need it out of the garage. It takes up too much room! |

Location: STL, MO | Those of us who know trucks know what a deal you had at 5k, almost makes you want to do it just for the bargain of it when you think of all that is needed to turn that 200+ in wb chassis into a 9ft dump, with a 429 that joker could be run around with the button up most of the time, haul 6-8 ton of rock up hills and be nice and short for pulling trailers. But I went back to my regular 40hr job after a long layoff and I don't contract no more but it's hard to get it out of you, I have a 2 1/2 ton Dodge and a little 1 ton dump still sitting around taking up too much room and can't bear to part with them cause ya never can tell whats next. Nice metalsmithing on your part Rick. |

Location: Dellslow, West ("By God") Virginia ! | Jeeze! Those '61-'66 cabs totally rusted away around here! '67-'71's didn't fare much better.
Looks good to see one in that nice of condition!
Steve, If some one would buy the Allison F-700. I would still convert the '95 over to a 9' dump.
The Allison F-700 is a 10' bed. It rises up too high. Catches tree limbs and such
That's what I haul, 5-6 ton of gravel. Wifey and duaghter gets 4 round bales, ties each one in seperately, goes out into the field and dumps each one off where they want it.
Oh well. I listed the truck on here just in case someone wanted to make a NICE rollback/whatever, to haul the FwdLk vehicles. |
