Federal Motor Truck Company made trucks from 1910-1960. It says Federal on the Awesome Butterfly hood but only 1 person looking at it has ever guessed what it is, all the guesses have either been Mack, Diamond T, or REO. This is exactly the way I bought this 1952 Federal tilting flatbed dually, it was restored by a gentleman from Portland, Oregon by the name of Joe Lowe. Motor and suspension donated from a 92 dodge ram, Powered by a First Gen 12 valve it’s very fun to drive, the 4” Chrome stacks sound amazing to me, it’s really dusty in this video, but everything’s dusty when you’re in Arizona lol.
I too prefer an original dash to a mix match, ol’-Joe who built it had a different vision though. It grew on me very quickly though and I only wine about it occasionally now lol.
