The Tackaberrys are highly respected in Eastern Ontario as contractors and philanphropists. They seldom send anything to the scrap yards and in the winter give their workers a choice of snow plowing, working in their shops restoring their collection of trucks and construction machinery, or taking a volentary layoff it they want to spend the winter in a warmer climste. If only all business families were like them.
Can’t thank you enough for highlighting this pristine example of a Ford Super Duty with only 10,000 miles. Ford Big Job and Super Duty trucks are the best !!!
Ahhhh memories here. My employer in the 1970s and '80s had one of these. It was also a '68 (an F-800) but not a Super Duty and it was a tractor and not a dump truck. It had a 391 gas engine. Drove it from time to time. Sadly a drunk driver T-boned it in 1982 and they decided not to rebuild it. Our driver was not hurt except a bruised elbow. In memory of unit #203, gone but not forgotten.
534s were very tough. My employer back then had a dozen or so 534s including the one I was trained in. Of all those trucks only one seized its engine and two others had to have a rebuild. After gasoline hit $1 a gallon in early 1980 is when fleets started getting rid of them. We replaced most of ours with ones with 3208 Cat engines around 1983-84.
@@muffs55mercury61 I had my truck an early eighties, some other drivers had 427 Chevys, they would take the governor's off and we're faster than mine, they could catch up with me on long runs, but never did get passed, they would end up rebuilding them every winter.

Yes, indeed, good trucks for sure. The frames are built strong, with deep web and thick web, "C" sections. When I was a preteen, 10 years old in 1963, a Texaco gas station in our village had two nearly mint condition, red Ford Super Duty F1100 tandem dumps, same axles and cast spoke wheels as this one but set up for plowing. I presume both had the 534's in them. They mostly sat on the lot, idle most of the year. It was a nice station, ran by a fairly young, big husky guy, who also repaired the cars in his multi-bay garage near the pumps. The guy was very approachable, very bright and could fix nearly anything. Those were the good old days and good times!
@@petermalanchuk8210 Oh yes when I was that age there were two neighborhood gas stations, a Mobil and a Texaco which the owners were the same way. They encouraged me to know more about cars. Memories for sure.
there was a gravel pit behind my house when i was a kid.the owner had 2 of these,one was a gas and the other was a diesel.i used to ride in them.nice trucks.
Well you have made my day ! Possitively beautiful truck ! My dad drove one of these identical trucks back then (a green 1968) for Wibby Laudermilk out of Addison, Pa. (Laudermilk Trucking) Wib had about a dozen of them.( Yours may have been one of his) Dad would leave the shop at 5 in the morning , drive to Clearfield, Pa to the "fire clay" strip mines where he would get loaded 20 tones of fire clay on her and then haul it to Frostburg , Pa where the clay was moulded , then fired into many forms of pipes. He drove for many years, then one day Wib gave him a green 1968 brand new to drive. We were dairy farmers, so I would stay home from school to put in crops, etc. I would sometimes go with my dad and soon developed a love for trucks. This truck had the most beautiful sound when pulling with that 534 with those dual mufflers. Dad would sometimes let me drive it off road into the strip mine empty. and soon afterwards loaded. When I was 14 I drove it out of the mine loaded to the highway, Dad said go ahead and continue driving as it was very early morning and no cops. After watching my dad for so long I drove that thing as if I had been driving it for years, You picked up all the speed possible through the valleys for the up comming hill where you would start down shifting. At one shifting point dad would shift both gear shift levers at the same time. After watching my dad do this many times, I did this very same shift perfectly. My dad was so proud of me and told this story to anyone that would listen until his sudden death in 2003 at age 81. I went on to drive a brand new 1976 Mack Tri axle coal body dump for J and J trucking out of Morgantown , W VA at age 26 hauling gravel building Interstate 68 around Grantsville, Md. We grosed 88,000 with a pay load of 31 tones every load. I drove night shift. Such great memories ! I,m now 71 and have retired in Myrtle Beach , sc where i now ride my Harley and new Suzuki DR 650. Oh... I have my dads 1966 David Brown 770A tractor he bought new in my garage. Its all origonal with only 1750 hours, It is in brand new condition and looks as if it were delivered new yesterday. Probably the only one anywhere as there were only 10,000 produced. Thank you for posting this beautiful truck.
They still do that today. Not only Ford. GM does the same. You will typically see the heavy duty trucks continue to use the older generation cabs and such for years after they stopped making them in the light duty versions.
@@FordHoard I can comprehend why. I think it's because truck manufacturers don't design or manufacture these products the way they used to back in the 1960's.
Oh so it’s a 534 V8 with a 5x3 transmission and a two speed 38,000 lb tandem, for 30 speeds! Many of those those ‘60s Fords were converted to Detroit 6v71s back then. Harper Detroit Diesel in Toronto, ON did many of those conversions.
My Dad’s friend drove one for USARCO United Scrap Metal in Hamilton, ON with a 6v71 pulling a 40’ scrap scow to pickup scrap from my Dad’s scrapyard. He became a broker for them in 1976 with a ‘73 Kenworth K100 cabover. My Dad had a B61 lugger truck with a 673-180hp, a fixed tag axle, and a Quadraplex transmission back then.
Back in the 1960's in my town in northern New Jersey, a local dump truck company had part of its fleet with these beasts with the gas engines. They were mainly used to move crushed rock from local quarries. They also had a fleet of Autocar dumps with Cummings diesels. These gas engine had terrible fuel mileage, like 2-3 MPG with a load.
Yep when I drove one it got about 300-350 miles out of a 100 gallon capacity, depending on how many miles were loaded or empty. In early 1980 when gas hit $1 a gallon is when fleets started getting rid of them. We held on to most of our 534s until about 1982-83 when we replaced them with ones with 3208 Cats which easily got 7 mpg on average.
Hey red, I hope you don't mind me calling you that love the channel. Love what you're doing on here and Ford 950 super duty is really really cool. I grew up in the '70s and '80s and I remember those trucks still working in the '80s. Always very cool
Nice to see a sharp gasoline heavy duty with a Hendrickson Walking beam tandem rear suspension,just a sharp looking Ford , second to the last year of the N series,, replaced in 70 by the Ford LN series Louisville Truck, a nice model that covered a wide range of straight truck to tractor applications,one of Fords best.
Lot of memories. My employer back then was an all Ford fleet. In 1971 they bought two dozen of the LN series. A few were still in use as late as 1990 when I left. And they had a lot of F series and also some C series tilt cabs.
Wow, 10k miles! that thing is one of a kind for sure. Usually, vocational trucks are run into the ground. To find a low-mileage survivor like that is like finding a chicken that needs braces on its teeth.
A local paving company, South Weymouth Massachusetts, used these trucks in that exact same color. I initially thought it was one of theirs. They had the same style company name on the doors and the name is very similar, Hanabury and Sons.
Beautiful truck . I drove a swing fender dodge with a 549 ihc engine in Alaska in the early 90s it would easily drink 200 gals of gasoline a day. After that two stroke Detroits were power houses.
@@patrickshaw8595 I can remember the company DAD worked for buying 2 new 1000 Dodge Tandems. One with a Big gas engine the other with a 250hp Cummins and the 250 was a real powerhouse after the guys drove the gas pot. That ws in the mid 1960's, by 1972 they had switched to all 335 hp Cummins diesel with 13 speeds.
En 1978 conocí un camión de esos motor gasolina y también tenía tracción en el eje delantero Era una bestia 8 cilindros Usaba 3 palancas en los cambios 😮
Antes sabían construir camiones, hermoso camión con un motor grande y caja y diferenciales grandes un carrazo, cuando reseñas uno de gasolina heran impresionantes esos motores
I can remember My Dad used to pull a logging trailer with a F 950 Ford tandem Back in the 1960's, it had a 534ci gas pot, Dad never said much about the power, until he got a new Hays with a 335 Cummins engine. then he stated how gutless the Ford really was.
Always loved the styling on these Fords. I remember seeing a good number of them in service during the early 1970's. A 5x3 transmission plus a 2-speed rear? Lets see, 5x3x2 equals... ummmmm, I'm not a math wiz, but that's got to be a lot of gear ratio options.
Wow! It's massive! I bet it could pull the zipper with trailer & all if it wasn't a dump truck. I wonder what the classified classification is of this interesting specimen.
What happened to the four wheel drive Ford N900 snowplow truck that sat behind the Wendy’s at Markham Road and Nugget Avenue in Toronto, ON 20 years ago?
I used to know a guy who drove one of these trucks. He worked for a paving contractor in central Massachusetts. He told me once that those rigs would haul asphalt all day, every day, but don't try to sneak one past a gas station. You'll never make it. At two gallons to the mile, you could see the gas gauge drop. At 150 gallons in the step tanks, the range was only about 40 miles.
It’s a museum piece in a private collection. The owner runs the show I filmed it at. No time to bother him for that. I’m thankful he allows me to make these videos and took the time to get me the information on it, at all. You’re welcome to make your own videos.

Wow a T950 with a super duty engine and 10,000 miles. I think this is the holy grail for the forgotten T model trucks
Back when a Ford was a truck.
And with such low mileage there wasn't enough time for rust to set in. That truck got lucky.
Beautiful truck
STUNNING , A PIECE OF HISTORY !!!
Love it. The Tackaberrys seem to have the coolest trucks.
I have a playlist of just their trucks (only a tiny handful of the collection), if you haven’t already seen!
@MissFlatbedRed I think I have but its always worth another watch🙂
These were the work trucks of my childhood and the ubiquitous Louisville 9000 both had the Cat 3208 growl

Interesting that Ford was still using their 1961-66 cabs in their 1968 super duty trucks. Great looking truck. 2-spd. rear axle.
Ford also had the N series which used the 1961-66 cab. They were made until 1969.

They still do that today. Not only Ford. GM does the same. You will typically see the heavy duty trucks continue to use the older generation cabs and such for years after they stopped making them in the light duty versions.

Gas was cheap so V8 displacement grew to needed scale (534) so it did not have to turn fast rpm.
