1965 F600 Ramp Truck

[CLM]

Just wanted to start this build thread to keep track of the ramp truck progress. Will accomplish some work over the next few weeks before it goes into storage for the winter (while I get my unibody back on the road).

First step, I finally got it home on Friday. After a couple different buddies backed out on moving it, I finally just paid a tow service to get it home.

Has a 1980 inline six 300 in it. Spent Sunday putting plugs, wires, cap, rotor, coil, and ignition module. Still no spark, so I grabbed a new stator last night and pulled the distributor. Will hopefully get time to rebuild/reinstall that tonight.

Then will need to replace all of the brake lines and tires. Anybody know a place to get a good price on 8.25x20 10ply tires (hiway and traction)?

A ramp truck would be so cool. Post up some pics of it for us CLM. TR

Got it running great yesterday. Moving forward and back under its own power for the first time in many years, also got the PTO winch working.
Still need to put new exhaust, tires and brake lines. Then it will go into storage until Spring.
Also found hiway tread 8.25x20 for $165 and traction tires for $175.
