Great video Phil and cool truck. The F700 was a big truck in the day. They used this model to pull bogie axle semi trailers and the newspaper delivery runners used them for rapid overnight deliveries of big city newspapers to regional areas because they were fast. Two speed diffs play up regularly but not hard oe expensive to fix. There isn’t a lot of difference in speed between hi/low, it’s mainly for hills when loaded heavy. Otherwise just go through all five gears in Lo, then pop it onto hi when up to speed. It is very original and period correct down to lights and other aftermarket parts. Getting decent tyres in that size is getting hard now and a lot of guys that drive their trucks on historic rego are happy enough with newer tubeless type tyres and rims. I love how excited you are about the truck mate. I would be too. 👍 p.s. don’t fit LED lights to it. They just don’t suit the era. And I would like to see you built a period style tilt tray instead of a ramp truck.

Awesome truck Phil. And whilst we were reminiscing of the old forum days, I’m sure you were into a GXL XC too, wondering if you finished it?

Yeah I sold that a fair few years ago unfortunately, factory 351 4spd 9" car. It's still around Adelaide, looking the same

My guess it would have been sold by Jennison Ford in Burra. He was a good friend of my old man. Back in the day drove a XY GT as all good Ford dealers did.

Great find, it’s like it was meant to be. Even though it would cost a lot more, I think I’d try and make it a hydraulic tilt tray like a modern tow truck.

Yeah don't do what i did and let the tow truck take over the f truck build 😅 not my greatest move 😂
