Ever see something you have little or no use for but still got this feeling you need it?

This design was continued up to the 1969 model year, not 1966 like the pickups.

These were the real "Super Duties". Ford started to use the name in 1958 on 850 series and up that had the big gas 401, 477 and 534 engines.

My dad and uncle had between 12-15 of those Super Duties in all sizes, oh yes those 534 where gas hogs that why twin tanks but we also had our own service station so I pumped gas at .12 per gallom, diesel was .10 a gallon since some of these also had the detroit and cummins in them,, My dads Super-Duty F-750 Custom Cab was at that time state of the art with all Custom Cab features + a dump bed that was double walled so when loaded with rock they would not dent the outside lot of the fancy custom cabs, Never though did any of them came with a pass. seat, we had boxes made to carry jacks, chains other emegency equipment in, and boy they where tough to ride in all day, back then drivers cared about the truck so some of the drivers that been there for a while went also to Ford to add extra features they wanted + Everyone of these trucks had to be ordered so that took some time which was neat since I can still remember sitting at the dealership watching the salesperson knowing what needs was in order.. after the Fords then started getting the Macks in the fleet and so on till it got to be too much for all drivers attitudes changed then sold everthing to get 2 Brockways with trailers that where paid for to unleash all those worries... By the way these Fords did most of the building of Interstate 80 from Wayne NJ to Rockaway NJ when there was nothing but woods there.. One thing I cannot find is the pictures I took of these trucks, someday will

Here's another one. It's an F850, so it's got the standard height cab on it.
Not as clean looking, but still looks tough.
