Nice looking B-Model. With the company name on the door, it's probably there for Nostalgic/Business attraction purposes.

I'd be willing to bet that it runs as good as it looks.

The Pete 359, 379 & KW W-900 (especially the early ones) are simply the best looking trucks ever built imo. Also a big ego trip to drive.

This is the old truck. Got into it with a hundred miles.
Parked it with 752k miles in 6 years 5 months.

I guess I was pretty spoiled driving for the crane rental company . I spent more time loading and unload than I did going down the road on occasion .

Just an old 68 Ford 800 I just picked up. Not a Super Duty but has the high cab. Most likely a 391. Unfortunately I'll probably scrap it. I drove it home about ten miles with one wheel brakes and a jacked up carb. Loved every minute of it, lol.

Scrap it??

Some people would almost die for a truck that nice.

Sheet Metal looks great!!

I'd love to sell it. City says no commercial trucks within view on my property. It may take longer than I can away with to sell it off. I'm tryin for a few days anyhow.

I'd pull the doors at least. Damn commercial vehicle discrimination is what that is. There oughta be a law!

I agree. They won't even let me park my 72 or 68 one tons in the front. They are low enough that I can park them in the back behind a fence. I don't get it. Anyway after a couple weeks they will be on my butt about the Ford cause its tall. I will definitely pull as many good parts off that I can. The engine and trans is sold so at least they're going to a good home. My buddy wants them for spares for his 74 F700 wrecker. I need to get some shots of it. It even been in a couple movies.
