Mid 60s A-600.

It might be hard to see with the reflection in the glass, but it's equipped with a 5 over 2 so it should be a pretty serious puller.

My wife was getting impatient so I didn't get a chance to see what power it might have.

I've NEVER seen one in that good of condition!

But the last time I did see one it was hauling Logs in the mountains in Utah..

Haven't seen one since I was a kid, great pics!

You don't quit playing because you get old; you get old because you quit playing!

I dont know if I have ever seen one, and thats a big statement from a guy raised as a truck mechanic!

Let me tell a cabover story though

Early Jeep 1/2 ton or so cabover, sort of the same ugly duckling but a Jeep

I have to get it fired up for this customer, I take the doghouse off, there is a GIANT Possum (Opossum?)

I of course have to fix this truck, the animal of course, doesnt want to leave

I grab a welding glove and grab him by the tail and drop him in the driveway

What does he do, noooo he, or she, not run, it CHASES me!

16-17 yr old Ross running toward the garage with Possum in trail, with all three of the shop mechanics laughing like hell

It gave up and disappeared into the woods, but man I'll never forget it

- 70 Fastback Mustang, 489 cid FE, TKO-600 5 speed, 3.70 9 inch
- 71 F100 Ranger XLT shortbed 4x4, 397 cid FE, headers, Street Dominator, 280H, 5 lug Dana 60 rear, 4.56's, 4 speed

Don't think I have ever seen a A-600, didn't even know they made them. If I did see one I probably would have thought it was a custom home made piece. Cool looking truck.

Funny story Ross.

I went to a show yesterday in the local city park. The American Truck Historical Society:

Didn't take any pictures but some cool old iron. Saw for the 1st time a Jeep FC-150 up close and also my 1st time seeing a Diamond-T pick up truck up close but the Diamond-T had a small block Ford motor instead of the original Hercules motor.

I built an MPC model of one many years ago and that's the last one I ever saw.
