Dose any body know much about these trucks i dont think it is a f700 may be a n700 it has a 391 gas motor 5 speed with 2 speed rear end
an n700 is not an f 700, used to own one and was the same color. Mine had a perkins diesel. That truck would turn on a dime and give you eight cents change. I traded it in on a louisville and the ford dealer kept it for many years for a yard/shag tractor.
this trucks gvw is 25000 i have a d5g dozer weighs about 10 ton do you think this truck will haul it i know that it will be over wight but i need a truck like this to get up in some tight places in these hollows hear in eastern ky
It will probably haul it on new tires. But!! can you stop it with that weight?
i think it has vacuum over hyd. brakes i have a f600 with this setup it has real good brakes
could i put a 3208 in this truck
I'm pretty sure it was an option for them, I've seen a few that way. I'm not a big fan of that engine, but if it's what you have go for it.
Nice truck. I want it....lol
If the gross weight of the truck is 25thousand and your dozer weighs 20thousand that only leaves 5thousand for the truck and im pretty sure your truck weighs more than 5 thousand so therefore you will be over gross vehicle weight.
my uncle has a 1966 ford f700 bucket truck and a p[icker truck they came off the assembly line right after each other serial number is one number off they are good trucks. The worst thing is vaccum brakes you blow a line you have no brakes. other tyan that great trucks. the 391 is a good engine we put some big loggs n the back of that picker truck and it would haul them no problem.
would the n700 be heaver built truck then the f700?
I worked at Ford Dearborn engine in the early 70's. We built MD and HD FE/FT family truck engines. 330,360,361,390,391,428. Ford put premium parts in the 391.
do you know any hp and torq specs on the 391 motor

wow thanks for the link
I have never seen an N series Ford with a 3208, the first year i remember with cat diesel was in 1970 and that engine was an 1160 cat. But than you know how old guys memorys are:beatsme
They both look identical, I guess I confused the two. The 3208 should bolt in where the 1160 was.
50's and 60's Evolving era for big Ford Trucks. My favorites as a kid. more links: http://cgi.ebay.com/Ford-1966-N-Ser...temQQimsxZ20091224?IMSfp=TL091224211004r13260 http://pmc911.com/ http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1960-1969-ford-trucks4.htm scroll to bottom of article for more 60's era pictures
We had three of these over the years including a 1968 N700 and a 1966 NT850 purchased new. Best I remember, the only diesel available in the smaller trucks 600 through 750 or so in those years was the Perkins. We had at least half a dozen 391 engines in various Fords and they were always good. Only particular problem, I remember is they will definitely drop a valve seat if run hot for any length of time (driver error).
I know this is late but it is a NT. The 700 means gas ,7000 diesel.
