eBay Find: This 1969 Ford N600 Is Like A Big Red BangShifty Hope Diamond

I was scouring eBay last night for car haulers because those as things that I really want, cannot afford, and have no room to keep. Those are the key elements of any successful eBay searching mission. In the course of looking up sweet haulers, I found something better, which is the 1969 Ford N600 you see in the photos above and below. This is a restored truck that represents one of the neatest truck lines of the 1960s and a series that is rarely seen in any capacity today. Ford’s N-series trucks were there to bridge the gap between the F-series and the truly heavy duty big rig style trucks. They were unique in the cab placement because it is kind of a modified cab over engine design. The cab was moved up and pushed ahead slightly to aid in visibility and maneuverability. The result was a unique look that many people mistake for a cab over but really isn’t.

The first time I ever saw one of these trucks in person was on the trip to Bonneville two years ago. It was sitting and resting on the side of the road. Although the sheetmetal was good, it had been weather beaten for decades so it looked nothing like the rig you will see below. The truck that is being sold here could be the finest example of the breed known to exist at this point. When you are looking at the photos, note the two big I-beams on the back. Those were added to help soften the ride up for cruising around town. Even with them, it is probably pretty jarring. The restoration on the truck looks flawless. Every inch of the thing looks to be perfect and it is a ramp body away from verging on the surreal.

Even if you aren’t much of a truck guy, you’ve got to respect the sweetness that this machine is bringing to the table.
