1968 F350 4x4 Dually Owner here, Nice To Meet All Of You!
Just bought my first old Ford truck to restore & was told about this site! I bought a 1968 Ford F350 4x4 Dually that I really don't know that much about other than people telling me that its a rare truck & it was a conversion. What company converted it I have no idea. The front pumpkin is on the driver side. Anyways its great to be appart of this fantastic site & im hoping to meet more F350 owners & others! Photo's are of the 1968 Ford F350 4x4 Dually I just bought. It has the 390 backed by a 4 speed. The truck runs strong-I drove it home. The ride was better than I thought-maybe because of the 6 brand new tires that are on it. The flatbed is a dumb but there are no Hydraulics hooked up to it, I have no use for that anyways being its a truck to restore-not work with. Hope you all enjoy the pictures! (PS...yes it has the wrong grill in it-anyone have one for a 1968?

I forgot to add that this was originally an ENCON (forestry)truck. The owner had it on the road until 2009 & then just used it to plow his driveway. He even had the original spotlight that was mounted on the truck!

Welcome aboard, MD guy here. Love to see some pictures of the conversion. Suggest you make a thread for it in the projects subforum.

I dont know how easy it will be to find a correct grill for it, in arkansas it is VERY hard to find them. and unfortunately, LMC does not sell 68-69 grills
