In 1964 I bought a 54 ford f600, with a knaphide grain bed on it. the feed store I got it from wore out the original motor, and had put a later 292 in it. by 79 I had worn out the 292, and was wanting to use it to move my family from Illinois to washington.

I drove the old pin pieces out with a drift pin, made a new pin frim a hickory claw hammer handle, tapped it in place and took off for Washington, that was the fall of 79. My dad and I used it for years, for a dump truck, and wood hauler, also pulled an equipmunt trailer with Dad"s 450 case dozer on it. Dad done coustom dozing here in the Graham area.
