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.
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.

If original, it probably has a 352 in it, and a NP 435 transmission, very typical for F350s from that timeframe.
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.

If you want to flip it I think there is a market for them.
Haven't decided yet what I'm going to do w/it.
