Very Very nice truck!!! Did I say WOW!!!

Post some pics with the racks installed!

A good set of ramps and a good winch and that would double as a car hauler. I guess now all you need is a f-100 to haul around.

Gonna put a real headache rack on it, and walk around the bed with some black paint when it warms up.

Thankyou, I will do that one when the weather breaks.
Do you happen to know if the thermal breaker is in the headlight switch?

Thanks,
Greg

That sure is a nice looking BIG Slick. It cleans up real nice.

What I like most...the truck is still being used for work!

Great looking F 600. The Custom Cab touches really make it pop.It may have a 292 HD 171 hp over the base 292 160 hp. Your door tag plate may have the answer.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about. Very nice. It looks like it has great rubber on it also, big bonus on a big truck.

That truck is just what I need. I bet that thing could do 3 or 4 chord of wood easy rather than my normal 1 chord per trip.

Just berfore I Got Slickitis dad sold a '65 F500 with about a 12 ft bed. I need to call the guy and see if he still has it, but most likely with the high scrap prices last summer it went to the crusher.

I like Internationals, I have had quite a few.
Good strong trucks, industrial grade motors.

No BS

Before we had our big thaw, there was snow 4 inches from the top of the headache board on the bed. I wish I would have taken pics, I drove it around like that for a while.

292 Med duty, no governor, with crossover pipe, 135 horse at 3800, thats what all those gears are for..you need em.

Its been bored .60 so I'm sure that helps a little.
When funds permit I'm either going to do Reds headers or Rams horns, duals, and a small four barrel.

I listened to some trucks with smithys on YouTube they sound cool as hell, but I doubt they would hold up on a heavy truck.
