I am new to this board. A member from this board had seen my web site and sent me an e-mail suggesting I join the board, well , here I am. I live in Smithville, Texas. As for my truck I don't know how to introduce it. It is neither an F series or a 61 to 66 model. It is a 67 N 950. The bigger Ford trucks 750 and larger, both the F and the N series used the same cabs as did the 61 to 66 all the way up to 69. So my allegiance is to the 61 to 66 models. The N series looks a lot like an F series except for the short rounded hoods.

Welcome from Houston, very neat to see those larger trucks.

Michelle · Post by **Michelle** » June 26, 2009, 7:56 am

Thanks for the big welcome. I take this truck to truck and car shows locally and around the country. I just returned from the American Truck Historical Society (ATHS) National convention and truck show in Huntsville, Alabama about two weeks ago. I also use the truck to haul its stable mates a 56 F-100 big window truck and a 64 Falcon Sprint convertible to shows. There are a few interesting facts about the N series trucks that most don't know. While they shared the same basic cab is the other slicks of the era all the way to late 69, they never used 65, 66 type cab with the sloping floor, all of these trucks from the first made in 63 until the last produced in late 69 used the 61 to 64 type cab with the step well. The rest of the floor pan was the same as the 61 to 64 also except for the cut out for the dog house and the shifter. The trucks produced from 1966 through the end of production had the raised roof to give the driver more head room. The truck is powered by a 743 cubic inch Cummins diesel that is tilted seven degrees on the crank shaft axis to the right to give the driver more leg and hip room. The transmission is a Fuller thirteen speed over drive. At 2100 RPM the rated RPM for that engine the truck will run 80 MPH in high gear. It was always fun when ordering parts for the truck because the vendors always wanted to know what the year was. I learned very quickly to tell them the truck was a 64 F 100. When you said 67 N 950 they would quickly tell you that either that you part you were ordering would not fit a 67 or that the truck was a 950 and they did not have parts that would fit a truck that big.

Excellent restoration! Very high on top the Slick food chain.A mark of a true truck, air brakes and 10 lug wheels. Yes, 1969 was the last year of this design and was replaced with the Louisville cab. These trucks had tons of engine options both diesel and Super Duty gas. I wonder what this truck did originally, most were short wheelbase tandem axle trucks to haul long trailers in states that had short overall length laws.
