If the smoke goes away after it warms up. That is valve seals. And if they're not too far gone about a quarter can of seafoam in the oil might just revive them to stop that.

Valve seals can be a good winter project to record. Not too hard or technical of a job. How about "old blue" 4 a name?

This truck brings back many memories for me. My dad had a 74 Ford F600 with a 390 gas engine when I was growing up. It had a 14' dump bed. We made wooden side racks for hauling gravel and dirt. A set for hauling grain and also a set for hauling cattle. It was our go to truck. I saw it about 3 weeks ago hauling mulch from the local saw mill. Still going strong. Thanks for the video Mike.

[@dwaynewhybrew1421]

You're a pretty tough negotiator, Mike. LOL Old Blue fits really well. Looks to me she's got at least a few more loads left in her. Old Fords never die, they just take on new responsibilities, like mosquito control.

[@PaulWhitedWoodStoneIron]

Nice find Mike. Especially with the cat engine and air brakes. That old truck would dog for ever with a bit of help huh. Pretty neat sometimes to keep an old truck going. We’ve had our share of older trucks. I end up selling for newer but always look back at the joys of them really never letting me down to much with out new tech. Sweet old girl there. You’ll be happy with her for what she is.

[@TheSoloAsylum]

That truck probably had a 330ci, or the 352ci engines. That 3208 in there now makes enough torque to break everything on that truck. That's a cool old piece.

That's what I was thinking too... probably had a 352 originally. Should never want for power with the 3208 in that small of a truck.

Now we're talkin! I had an old '75 F750 dump truck about 12 years ago. Only gave $1500 back then... Mine had the bulletproof Ford 3.9L I6 motor. 👍 I also got a farm tag on it, so I didn't have to have a CDL, inspection or anything to make it road legal.

[@scottka]

Mike, We made the fuel system for Cat 3208's at Pontiac IL Cat plant. It is a great engine!

[@jamesthompson8008]

@scottka Would you be able to give an idea as to how these 3208s are so efficient on fuel?? I'm NOT complaining at all, just amazed how much work they do using so little fuel. I personally think mine is only second in importance to the skid steer(NH lx series)!

What a GREAT intro for OL BLUE coming up the hill...Back in the 1950 s my dad had an old DODGE pickup , he put a dump body on it.. U had to hand pump to get it to dump... Played with it for hours.....I havent thought of that for years..... GOD BLESS YOU ALL...

[@MichaelJones1527]

Mike, you need to see if you can get a Farm truck tag for it. That would prevent you from paying the outrageous commercial insurance and tag prices. In North Carolina, forestry products are considered farm products and you can legally sell your products from the truck without a commercial tag. A huge difference in price for me in NC. When I sold my trucking business I kept 2 tractor-trailer trucks and I'm using them with a farm tag. You surely have enough land to qualify for a farm tag.

[@biologistjim4905]

🤨

[@johnsadler8637]

If that option works in PA, that’d be a great idea!

[@gungadinn]

Most states also exclude farmers from the requirement of having a CDL, which now requires a 160 hour classroom portion to get the license. Dump truck insurance is very high due in part to a lot of the smaller companies running on a shoestring. Farm tags are the way to go. Only limitation is 150 miles from the farm and you can’t haul for anyone else. A win-win

[@Sventy11]

You're only allowed 10 or 15 miles away from your registered address with a farm use vehicle in PA.

[@MichaelJones1527]

@@Sventy11 In North Carolina we are allowed 150 miles. I believe I would check with the DOT and make sure. I know it's different from state to state but it does help with people like Mike who won't need a full-time truck.

[@tombarnes1871]

Actually, That’s a really nice dump truck given its age. My thoughts are it’s old diesel fuel that’s sat around a while and the injectors are somewhat clogged probably the cylinders are carboned up just from lack of use. Walmart makes a cheap injector cleaner ($1.58) which you could put in a few bottles in the tank which should clean it out. The smoke can’t be from a bad ring/oil seal/valve because once it’s at temperature the unit stops smoking. The bouncing speedometer is due to a broken cable who knows is still in place from the transmission to the dashboard, easy fix. The few other things to be street legal, you might want to consider then you can take up 79 to 422 and back that should be enough to loosen everything up and clean out the engine. Just my thoughts. Hope these gave something to consider and were helpful…Tom

In a prior life, I worked for U-Haul as a truck mechanic. At the time, the "pride of the fleet" was a 1974 Ford F-600 with a 359 Heavy Duty engine and a "bulldog" four-speed manual transmission. Easy to work on, to be sure. Some of the parts may be harder to find now than they were in 1986, but still... I was confused for a moment when you came over the hill. Yes, it's a '74 cab, but the grille looks like the prior generation ('67-'72).
