Something came apart in the transfer case and the truck kicks in-and-out of 4x4 now 😬 I was told the issue by the previous owner but it didn't act up at first. I'll have to address this eventually. Been taking time from videos to clean up the property and make it easier to make videos in a timely manner. At least that's the plan 🔧🔩 I hope you're doing well my friend.

      We had a pair of F500 (I think) 4x4 trucks at the department I was with back in the eighties. The trucks were from 1966 and 1968, and had originally been put into service as brush trucks, complete with PTO-powered "pump-and-roll" front-mounted pumps. By the time I arrived there, we were using them more as engines than brush trucks.
      I knew how to drive them, but never really learned the two-lever transfer case setups they had. We had other "beasts of brush" by then to take off road.

    The 391 has a forged crank, a higher nickel content block with thicker sleeves and it also has sodium-filled exhaust valves.
    I had also read that replacement 428 Cobra Jet blocks were bored out 391 blocks.
    One of the ways you can tell it's a 391 block is it has a mirror image 105 at the front of the driver side cylinder Bank.

    This very year of Ford I worked for a very dear friend working my way through college that had one as a dump truck. It was the most reliable in his fleet for hauling and pulling heavy equipment off road. It wasn't a four wheel drive but with a good set of chains I took it everywhere. Best of luck with your project.

    I owned a 1979 model same set up with a dump bed. Loved it had big plans for a camper setup , changes I had planned were hydraulic disc brakes , 460 stroker with 5 speed od, brownie box between transmission and transfer case . Problem I had was thinking who's coming to get me out when I get the beast stuck ? Then lost interest. A cummins swap would be perfect , might get better than 6mpg ,

    391 has a forged crank and ten thousandths more stroke, thus 391 instead of 390. Heads are different and a few other details to make the 391 an industrial version of the 390. I have an F750 crane truck with air brakes and 47k original miles for picking up logs for my mill. I wanted 4 wheel drive but they are rare birds. Tonka toys.

    Years ago my Dad bought an FWD snowplow from a neighbor. If I remember correctly it had been used to clear the runways on a military base in the U.P of Michigan. It came with a 12' or bigger straight blade and a massive V plow. It had 14.00x20 24 ply tires on it and had two concrete weights on the back one was 4'x4'x6' and another that was 2'x4'x6'. The tires on that truck were so heavily built that even with all the air let out they still were fully "up" even with those concrete weights on there. The truck was I believe a 1937 and had been changed from the original Hercules straight 6 to a Cummins straight 6. It had been sitting for at least 10 years when we bought it. Dad checked the fluids and the air cleaner then put a battery on it and sent a birds nest about 30' into the air with it. That thing was amazing when it came to moving snow. It had a 4 speed with a 2 speed transfer case and which we left in high. It would push a foot of snow like it wasn't there. We bought it because we lived down a county road which the county didn't take care of at all. They wouldn't even send a bus to come pick me up for school instead I had to walk just over a mile and a quarter to the highway to grab the bus and this being Wisconsin it gets cold occasionally. We used that for plowing until we picked up an old Adams grader and started using that instead. Dad turned that FWD into a 4wd tractor with a 10 speed transmission.

My dad's best friend worked at ford and walked through the factory in 1978 and built his own truck with all new parts. 6 months after getting his truck it was tboned and my dad and his friend fixed the frame and put a flat bed steel bed on the ford. We still have this truck it had a factory 400 in it but with 989,784.6? Ish miles on her the old girl bit the dust and went to the farm. So new 390 big block and she is still rolling hard on down the road all these years later. Love my ford it's the only ford I will ever not sale and it's my treasure 😍.

    Just subscribed and started on some of your playlist. You bring on some nice rigs, as I am partial to them.... I'm 73 so fit in better. I never really liked the big international engine but that 345 was a workhorse where the 392 would start losing water.... good for water pump issues as the neck was a bit higher on them and a air pocket and problems. They all started on a twist of a key and never failed work real hard for me

    Sounds halfway decent! Believe it or not, Ford started producing F600 4x4 in house around '71/'72. Deciphering your VIN will tell you if it was a factory option or not. A lot were still sent out to an upfitter though. Looks like you've got a MICO Lock for your brakes too. Those are quite handy for winching applications.

      The ol F600 brings back memories for me, when I was 12 my dad bought one brand new in 79, navy blue cab with a crimson red grain box with white pin striping and cattle racks. Red, white and blue. I remember driving it down a gravel road looking between the dash and the steering wheel. What a thrill!
      That was in Alberta Canada, but dad was American.

    I know he got a extra rockwell independant transfercase with the truck, but i thought he said his had a eaton front and rear end. They were 6 lug, so i may just be remembering wrong. But he also had a 64 f600 tractor carring truck that was a 300 ci 6 cylinder 4 speed manual with a two speed eaton rear for sure which was a 6 lug.
