- Welcome back to AAMC. For the next few weeks we're in Texas! My Uncle Tom lives here and we are going to be checking out some of his projects around the property while having a lot of fun.
Today we're taking a look at his 1978 Ford F7000 truck with the CAT 3208 engine.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy spending some time with this old jewel.

@@GarlandKent-y6khey you're welcome my uncle enjoyed doing the video I do like Old fords I run a 1979 F-350 1 ton dump truck with a 400 Ford in it with four speed they are very tough old trucks I wouldn't mind finding myself the 600 maybe one of these days and thanks for checking out my video I hope you liked and subscribed I appreciate the comment as well
Reminds me of my uncle from SW Mississippi. God rest his soul. Was an oil man too. I reckon Uncle Tommy has forgotten a lot more than most people will ever KNOW in their lifetime. Truly "the greatest generation". Thank you for sharing.
Glad you liked the video 😁

Man, that Ford is a beast ! very cool ! VERY COOL!
Cool truck! Definitely have never seen one before, especially the crew cab. Cannot believe how rust free this truck is, here in Illinois these trucks are long gone(maybe an occasional fire truck). Never even the F7000 existed, much less with a 3208. Thanks for sharing!💪👍
Love the Bumpside dash and the big truck instrument cluster in those big Dentsides!
Question: why are they called dentsides?
@@markdanielczyk944 Because of the inset cove running down the length of the body. Bumpsides have a bump along the side of the body, which sticks out.
When I was a little kid, I thought they were the same truck.
@@DanEBoyd Thanks for the info! First time hearing this term.
@@markdanielczyk944 I neglected to add that Bumpsides were produced here in the US from '67 till '72, and the Dentsides ran from '73 till '79.
Bumpsides were produced into the '90s I believe, in South America.
I found me another channel about stuff I love. I love anything old that runs on engine's thank you for sharing and I look forward on seeing more man
Thank you for like and subscribing I appreciate you
Hermoso camión .... Solo le falta un retoque de pintura 🎨.. pero es un honor de ver este camión
Love them green ford trucks! Your Uncle commanding that old truck is awesome to watch.
Glad you like the video thank you for subscribing and watching
Very cool truck! Never seen a crew cab conventional Ford that large, though I did see what I suspect was a fire engine conversion C8000 in upstate NY done up as a work truck with crew cab. The big F-series trucks were tough, I had a 1969 F-600 and 1971 F-600 (old videos of them here on RUclips) that we ran for the five years we were in upstate NY. The '71 went to work on a farm near Binghamton, I don't know what eventually became of the '69.
I helped drive a Bluebird bus from Poughkeepsie to Chicago and back twice, that is basically a F8000 chassis with a coach body on it. Lots of the chassis bits were Ford marked. It was 3208 powered, naturally aspirated, but had an Allison 4-speed automatic behind it. Top speed was around 63 MPH if it was flat. GVW was 33K IIRC. We had the fan pulley mount come off near Upper Sandusky, OH once. Fortunately it did not eat the radiator! Put it back together in a NAPA parking lot next to a grain elevator and finished driving in to Chicago.
Well that's really cool great stuff hearing about the old Fords I like Ford's that's for sure
I can remember delivering furniture for my family's store in a F-700 box truck 16years old could hardly drive a car. Back then parents couldn't wait for kids to get driver's license..... Get to work kid.. you can drive that truck😂 no problem 💪 and hurry up every chance you get!
Like that custom bucket seat. Looks comfortable.
It is
Your uncle put in some serious hours into that beast and it did justifiably as much work and she shows it. Glad to see it still chugging along after all these years, but her age is definitely showing. It would be amazing to give it a good refresher mechanically and get her welding systems up to new standard. It would be sick to see a company like Lincoln help sponsor it. Your uncle put in so much time, he deserves to see it back to its original glory.
The welder works great on it the switch went bad we by passed it for the video it's a Hobart welder the truck was paint awhile ago the paint the painter used wasn't good I think he's gonna have it done again sometime
RUclips recommended this channel I'm sure glad it did.😊
Glad you like it
Great video. I’m restoring a 79 F 150 4x4. Same color green
El camión está excelente me encantó yo manejo camiones de carga y ese tiene un motor adaptado que le hace funcionar muy bien
The last truck on the road after the EMP drops. 👍
Wouldn’t mind having the Buick Riviera there at the end of the road for sale!
My uncle is selling it. This video has some info about the car and his phone number to contact him.
Thanks!
That diesel sounds like early 90’s or mid 90’s power stroke
There was always an overlap in Ford’s truck lines between the LN600 and F600 and the F700/7000 and the LN700/7000. The LN7000 got the shorter LN8000 hood and a shorter turning radius in 1987.
Interesting
We were still using the F7000s as field trucks at Peterson Cat up until around 2005
That's really awesome any crew cabs
I resurrected a 1967 F600 from a tree line of an abandoned farm. They do not make trucks like this anymore.
I would love to have this over the service truck I have now but I bet a 3408 would struggle at 70+ mph. This could be fixed up and put back into service.
Needs a 3406 C
I have one of these but it is a 3 car car carrier
3208 Cat
That truck must have a Clark transmission
Oh doesn’t it have a Cat 3208, being an F7000?
Yea it's a 3208
@@aamcmuseum Oh what horsepower? Cat got rid of the 1140/1150/1160 by 1975 and upgraded the 1160 to a 3208 with a v8 looking injection pump vs the inline 8 injection pumps of the 1140/1150/1160.
@@SuperDave01965 I'm not 100 percent sure what horsepower it is
I've seen an F700 but Never an F7000 ,a Cat powered Louisville is a 9000
Yep they built them I know where there's a regular cab f7000 with cat it's a dump truck
$?
