Getting it on the trailer was the easy part, just pushed it w/the bucket on a tractor, now have to figure out how to get it off.
 
Well I posted a pic and it showed in the preview. I'll try again.

Easier to get off the trailer than to get on it. Don't need a tractor. Just hook a cheap come-along between a tree trunk and the rear axle of the truck. You can either simply drive the trailer out from under the truck or you can slowly pull the truck off the trailer using the come-along provided you have a second man sitting in the truck to apply the brake as she begins to roll down the ramps.
 
Looks like a fairly decent truck for its age. I'm guessing the issues with it are driveline related. Parts for those beasts shouldn't be hard to find. If original, it probably has a 352 in it, and a NP 435 transmission, very typical for F350s from that timeframe. If you want to flip it I think there is a market for them. I've seen a few trucks of that general age & size being used in my area for parade vehicles or in displays for farm markets, etc. Good that you saved it from going to China as scrap!

That's sorta what I did. The brakes are non-functional. Used a come along at the back and an electric reversible winch at the front to control the roll back.
Now just have to reorganize the vehicles in the shop so I can squeeze it in. It's gonna be inside for the first time in at least 15 years. It'll sit there until I get a chance to work on it.

That's exactly what's in it. FWIW, I have a '65 factory shop manual that I bought in '65 when I bought a new F100.

Haven't decided yet what I'm going to do w/it.
 
Doesn't seem like a big deal to get it off, assuming you have ramps. Just roll it off.

That's easy enough when one has helpers, but working alone is a different kettle of fish.

PS, suggest that you re-read post #10.
