I like the"Camper" you have mounted on the trailer too.
Very nice truck.
I have a 1950 F 7 I would like to do something with someday. It has the 336 CID flathead in it. I think its a 5 speed with a brownie in it. It started life here in the Silver Valley as 1 of 3 cement trucks it had a 3 yard barrel on it and survived later as a service truck.
I'll post a picture soon.

I accually have a old RTO13 shift knob in my garage I took off a junkyard truck years ago. I thought about adapting it on my one Unibody 4 speed truck. That would be fun and take it in someplace to Valet park it in Vegas! I'm sure there would be a question or 2.

Michael, your wish is my command. Here is a picture of the thirteen speed shift knob. The knob assembly is identical to the early thirteen speed knobs except for the Ford logo on the top part. The others had the Fuller Globe on them.

One of the best features of the N series diesels is that it came with the big Cummins 6 cylinder. The F and T diesel series usually came with smaller V6 Cummins, V6 Detroit, and V8 Cat, due to lack of space underhood. There was a smaller 6 cyl. Cummins in F and T series, the C-160 and C-180, but was never as popular as the big Cummins. If Ford would have made a special long hood version of the F and T series, I am sure they could have got a 220-335 to fit.And just think how cool it would look.

Belated welcome from ElCajon, Michelle. N series are my 2nd favorite Slick--NICE TRUCK!
Johnny (another member from ElCajon) just aquired a N series box truck with an FE in it. Plan is to
make a slantbed hauler. Hope I get to assist. Thanks for the pics-it's a good inspiration.

I have to totally agree with you on that. If Ford had made an extended hood F and T series that would have been a way cool looking truck not to mention a very collectible truck. How about this extended hood N series?

I did a little photo shop magic on this N truck. It kind of reminds me of the Dodge Big Horn
