So my Dad bought a 58 Ford...but it aint no hot rod

This truck has been on a car lot for like 2 years. I have driven by it and stared at it about everyday. Last week my ol man finally went in and hagled em to a decent price.

It's a 58 F-600 factory 4x4. If this does not scream bad ass, I don't know what does. I know it aint a hot rod, but figured some people on here might like it

 

That thing is so bad ass! I love those frideges. Even if they are huge!

 

I love it. What are your plans? Keep it as is? It looks like it is ready go to go work as it sits.

 

That truck is awesome.

 

awesome!!! that thing looks like its ready to go to work.

 

DANG!!!!! Ya'll get all the cool stuff!!

 

Now thats a work truck!!! They are one brute of a truck and ride like a buckboard but they have a great cool factor. Rob.

 

OMG! So awesome!

 

all ya need to fit in around here would be some wide whites.....lol......love that truck!......i`d work the snot out of it!

 

i want one, very very cool. looks tougher than a $2 steak

 

Love that truck.

 

That thing got the"Marmon Harrington" 4x4 set up? Love the truck man its like one big ass tonka toy!

 

....im all for slammed trucks, but cant argue on how bad ass this is.
I'll leave it as is and pretend im a site worker..ah ah, the equivalent of makin car noises on a non runnin project. lol

 

That thing looks in pretty nice shape for an old dump truck, especially a 4X4 one. When it comes down to it, who couldn't really use a nice vintage stump puller like that?

 

I still like it Chris but am having a hard time understanding why some Idaho farmer would need a 4x4 dump truck. Nice truck.

 

Awesomeness!

 

Very cool!

 

My Uncle lives in Idaho.....you have no idea how useful that thing would be on some acreage.

 

looks like a napco, front dif is on pass side

 

Cool truck!

How many gallons to the mile would it get?

Cheers, Glen.

 

Top shelf !!!
I like it.

 

Very cool catch!

 

Your Dad's truck is far too nice to hot rod, but if you wanna get crazy here are some pix of some friend's project. These guys make chassis' for oval track racing. While the pix are a little old, I think you can imagine what is going on. When done, it will be a pro-street-ish, hot rod-ish, oval track racing-ish dump truck with a blown big block Ford!

They started with an all stock, early 50's dump truck. They sold the flathead and frame; and also scrapped the rotted dump box. New frame will have mostly oval track stuff, wide-fives, big QC, massive 4-bars and an aluminum box. They have made more progress but I haven't got any newer pix yet. Gary

 

Some things don't need modifying. That truck is nice the way it is. Maybe repaint the box and tidy her up.

 

I like it alot!! I'd leave it just like it is.

 

Love that!

 

Nice! Love that blue color, paint the dump white. Damn cool!

 

It wouldn't be a Marmon Herrington or anything else....by 1959 Ford was building 4WD trucks themselves. That is one extremely cool truck.

 

Heavy duty! I bet it is a real Teddy Roosevelt...a rough riding SOB Built Ford tough.

 

Super-Cool truck!!!
