Took me three days to get the WS I drive to tolerable as to Smoke Smell, cleaned it every day, dropped a few fabric softener sheets in pocketed areas in cab, is now only icky first thing of a Monday after cooking in the sun a weekend. I vacuumed that cab, washed the entire dash and steering wheel as had crusty dip and chew on multiple areas where previous goon coughed or sneezed with a mouth load, and he smoked and drank soda pop like a sponge, had sticky spillage everywhere. Nasty bastards.

Were all manner of chip chunks and pieces of sammich or other assorted biologic warfare experiments in that cab. When worked the open garage and had to deal with honey Buckets was working on a shorted control wire and had to get under a seat in one, dug crap out from under as brown coated gloves, old socks(For whatever) and loaded with some kind of stuff, then I came across a baggie with a sandwich in it, looked unscathed where the driver lunged at that and stated 'So that is where it went ' where slipped under the seat back earlier in the day or maybe week and he went to chewing on it, I about tossed my lunch.

Rent an ozone machine from a rental shop. It'll disinfect the cab and eliminate the odor. My father in law has used one for years on used car trades at his dealership. Whens he's done with the clean out and disinfecting, they all smell like new.

Did Ford drop the T when the next body line developed?
Cannot remember any T series in the mid sixties cabs
Thoele concrete in St Charles had two T series mixers both 900s with 477s IIRC were 58 models their next batch were Super Duty F850s in the next body style 1963. Those had 534s

WWW.
The body style/grille from 1958 to 1960. The actual use of Super Duty term started in 58 and 1960 in was on the front of the hood. Funny thing Ford did
was the T700, 750 and 800 tandems were marked as off road and ford never put a GCW rating on those. In 59 Ford started installing shutters.
The 1961 cab and nose was used for several years.
