    This One's Going to the Crusher

    I'm sure someone could use it but the man said "Take It". If it wasn't so expensive to keep a big truck on the road......well maybe.

    I have a lot to learn. I thought it might be an old Bruin. Regardless, a truck I would love to own.

    67-72 ford, possibly 73 as they sometimes carry the body style of larger vehicles for an additional year.

    I think Brandon is right on the age and it is a Ford w/gas V-8 engine. I'll look it over tomorrow and get back to you all. The trailer is not for sale I guess but it's a nice triple axle, 8 hole wheel setup. Money talks though. Was used to haul iron and last licensed in 2008. New tires on the front and it should run with a battery. I see the mud wasps built some nests in the breather.

    Before you crush it, check to see what engine is in it, if it is a big block the engine will probably be worth more than the whole truck, 427, 428, 429, 460, were sometimes put in these trucks and fetch a good penny.

    Thanks Brandon....I didn't get back to it today but maybe tomorrow. I remember seeing it go down the road. The guy drove crazy anyhow but it must have kept up with his liking. Now if I can identify the motor.

    Like the dodge pickups 2002 gassers got the new look, diesels did not till 2003. Ford with the 1997/98/99 F250 and chevys 98-99 trucks. Never really understood why they did that.

    I've noticed this myself, my conclusion or opinion is they use the left over panels on the 2500 and 3500 to save money or just use up old stock. I'm talking dodges, I know very little about fords and Chevys

    Im a dodge man myself and know all about all the body styles amd years. Makes sense what your sayin. As for the others, I know fords F250 in 1998 looked identicle to the f150. Some did anyway. And in 99 they went to the newer body style. Im guessing that the new style wasnt ready for 1998 model year so they just shoved everything in an F150 body and frame. I think ford is the only one that made their 2500 series looks totally different than the 1500 series, too. Dodge and chev shared and still do share the same body style between the 1500/2500. Ford kept with making them look different still today.

    That motor if it is factory is not usable for anything. Its a industrial engine. Its most likely a 330, 361 or 391 FT engine.

    If it was one of Fords Mega block motors (401, 477, 534) it would be a very nice "classic"

    You can buy a entire key switch with a new key for under 20$, and I'm betting it has the key switch on the dash not the column so it'd be easy to swap out. Or a good old hot wire wouldn't be hard at all to pull off. I have a wide selection of old key switches for just such occasions.

    Tater, reminds me that I put a new switch in my Gehl skidsteer last year. It was new in the box and we'd bought it for a Cockshutt tractor. It didn't have the accessory for glow plugs (reverse) so I wired in a pushbutton. So much to do and so far I haven't gotten out of the house yet....

    Ok, looks like Sal got it right as it appears to be a 330cid via the serial number. (Fourth digit is the engine code...D = 330.
    I still dont' know the year model...maybe we can find a registration.

    Here's some pics....Brandon, Valve cover has 5 bolts, one on each end, one on top and two on the bottom..It has keys !!
