1968 N70 Ford

I am in the process of restoring this truck. It is a 1968 N70 Ford. So far I have not been able to locate anyone with an "N" Series truck. I did get a lead on an open cab "N" truck in the
state of Washington, but got no response on my email.
If anyone has an "N" Series or can give me a lead on one, please email
[email protected]

I have been told that the "N" series was also referred to as the
"butterfly hood truck"

Hello Jim:

Your truck is a beaut - has to be a rural Volunteer Fire Dept truck.

Do you have any more details on her - Pump Capacity, the engine hp, gas/diesel, tank capacity, who made the body, which Fire Depts and counties she ran for, etc - for the interested readers here.

And, I am sure that some-one will come up with the info, for you, (and us)here....

Thanks for showing her to us, and Good Luck on the restoration.

Regards, from Canada,
Pat_R-B

Hi Jim,
If you are not already familiar with the group you should look up SPAAMFAA, Society for the Preservation and Appreciation of Antique Motor Fire Apparatus in America; the web site is (wwww.spaamfaa.org) and details the many chapters around north America. Hundreds if not thousands of classics are owned by members, and they are always generous in assisting those looking for technical know how and parts. Our own group in California has a bi-monthly newsletter where any private individual or fire buff can advertise for sale or to seek firematic items at no charge(www.calspaamfaa.com)
