thanks alstoyz do you have any pics of that 1971 ford f350 4x4 that u had . and what did u use to make it a f350

I have seen a 4wd F600 before, but never a 6wd. I have dreamed about building a '67 4wd F600 with a crewcab and making an Excursion-type truck by extending the roof to the tailgate and grafting the bed with the cab. Your truck has to be the ultimate go anywhere, do anything beast!

I've got some somewhere. I'd have 2 do sum look'n. I started with a '79 F350 4x4, then I changed the single wheel hubs on the Dana 60 front with a set of dually 4x4 hubs from a 95 F350. I just had to use the 79 brake rotors. On the rear I had to use some 2-1/2" Arrowcraft spacers...

ya I havn't seen anything that it wouldn't do yet that I needed it to do I plan on doing the bodywork and painting it in the future I want to make a nice looking truck out of it

Well, if you got the snow I did today, you may need it. How far are you from the Bunker area? I go there to visit friends and ride 4wheelers sometimes.

I jive in potosi I am 35 miles from you

[chad67]

I go through there every so often. I used to go to Iron Mountain Lake about once a month to see my mother-in-law. There is a place close to Elephant Rocks with quite a few Bumps and Dents sitting out back by the barn. I never had the time to stop, though.

[jdf]

ya not sure where that is I have messed with the bump trucks for years I never really got into the dents had a lot of hem just liked the bumps better

[chad67]

My dad had several dents, but only 1 bump that I can remember. I loved that truck and when I decided to get a project to work on, it was a no-brainer. Besides bodywork and paint, do you plan on making any other changes/improvements to your 6X6?

[jdf]

I want to get wider tires for it for sure maybe super singles on back the skinny tires on front don't look right to me . and I want to extend the front of the bed up to the back of the cab so that it looks better the bed was actually around 2 foot short for the truck .I want to figure out how to fix a rack here behind the shop to unload the boom pole quick and easy when I want to take it out somewhere . and maybe a Cummings conversion in the future if I can find one that I can actually afford . I also want to refab my front bumper so it looks better . lot of changes in the future for it I am just happy to own it right now it is a pretty unique bump for sure .
