1970 Ford F700

Introduction

At the beginning of 2023, I purchased a vintage 1970 Ford F700. It has a 330ci V8 engine, 5-speed gearbox with 2-speed differential, and has a gross mass of 10 tonnes. I also picked up another F700 to use for parts (but I might do it up too). The white truck in the photo below is the tipper, and the red the parts truck.

This will be a big project. Big time, big resources, and big money. I was once told anything that wears a skirt or has wheels will cost you money...

I intend to display this project as a timeline, with many photos and some accompanying text and explanations. Click on photos to view them in maximum resolution.

Trucks on a truck! This photo was taken shortly before we unloaded them.
