1955 Ford T-800 "Big Job" Dump Truck

Ford began marketing its larger commercial trucks under the "Big Job" name for 1951. These brutish vehicles were designed for difficult assignments like logging, heavy hauling, and dumping. The 1955 model T-800 dump truck in this photo boasted dual rear axles, a powerful "Cargo King" V-8 engine, and -- per Ford advertising -- a "more comfortable full foam rubber seat" in the cab.
