    Really one awesome piece of history. Case in point I always say the 70s will never ever die. There is still trend after trend inspired by the golden years of this societal development era. I would say that in my limited memory that originally belonged to one of the presidents of Ford and I know it was sold to someone in NASCAR. I actually have a picture of it at Daytona speedway circa 1976 or77 I think. I attended both races with my grand parents at that time. I always thought that set up would be the permanent trend for large campers. Much better concept than 5th wheel trucks that often fail their uses.

    They had a whole fleet of F750 tractors & F750 trucks. Each & everyone of those old wore out rusty crusty
    dusty POS had a WAY sloppy shift linkage. These trucks shift linkage was a sight to behold. It went DOWN
    thru the floor then it turned RIGHT on to the RH frame rail. Then it turned RIGHT again & followed the framerail
    back to the trans then it made another RIGHT to the top of the trans. Every joint had wore out bushings. I was
    AMAZED the drivers were able to find a gear as I was not. One X one we had to tear those shift linkages
    apart & rebuild them. I didnt think we were EVER going to finish. But, one day we did.

    There is one here in Michigan. I think that one was blue if remembering correctly and is in good condition. The owner was nice enough to give me a tour. Glad to see these are well cared for.

    Wow, the Army used these things like busses but they were clearly not like this one. We called them “cattle cars” back then but it was sure nice to see one because it meant you weren’t walking miles back to the unit after spending the day on the range!

    391 and an automatic transmission of some type with a 44,000 pound gvw ? That thing would do good to maintain 50 mph on a flat level road with no headwind. I have owned and driven many Ford trucks and the only 391 powered F 700 truck I had that would maintain 55 mph up and down hills and eventually reach 65 mph loaded (about 25k total weight) was a 68 F600 with a 391 gas engine and a Clark 5 speed and a 2 speed rear axle. That gave it 10 speeds including 2 that were over driven and to say it lacked power fully loaded is an understatement. I fail to see how that driveline combination would even maintain 50 mph pulling that giant trailer.

      Agreed. I'm surprised there isn't a 534 V8 or diesel engine powering that rig. Not really sure what diesel engine choices were available for C-Series trucks back in that model year. I'm pretty sure a Cat 3208 was one of them.

    There needs to be a sitcom built around this rig. Other than that I hope the highest bidder puts it in a very public museum. I can remember driving these trucks when I first started trucking. These and the International Harvester version of the same type cab over. I was almost killed by one of them when the cab fell on me as I checked the oil. It crushed me and sent me to the hospital.

    It is a cool rig but I am glad that you guys are enamored by the interior decor of this rig because it makes my skin scrawl. There is a distinct difference between how you react to this interior design if you were raised in the era. Most children of the late 60s and 70s couldn't wait to escape this part of it.
