She looks better in the photos, I've seen some really nice ones with low mileage on e-bay over the years, old, slow, but a lot of em still around. Not really something for everyday road use, but it does draw some attention for some reason. I'd really enjoy a '61-'66 stepside f-250 with fwd, or similar, seems to be a ton of parts to be had for these.
Guy up the road had a bunch of those ole ford tandems, he ran a trucking business, dumps and dump trailers, 5+4 trans, differential locks, 534's too, some were diesels, larger diesels kind of bypassed those type of trucks, he recently scrapped em all out too, I would have liked to have gotten one for a site truck.
