Re: One of the most actually rare trucks I've purchased

I guess a 3/4t would be good for milk toast? :lol:

I had a picture I showed here years ago of a restored single wheel C/30 egg truck at the landfill. I talked to the guy, original owner/egg man. He was hauling brush with it. Still lovin' it and still workin' it for chores

Re: One of the most actually rare trucks I've purchased

I think it should get some love to become a loved truck again.

I got up to see my mom this week and went by to grab pictures of this cool C/40 Cowl & Chassis box truck. So this would be the next notch up from that C/30 w/11,000# axle option... same rear. I'd love to get this away from this restaurant. I mean the truck is pretty cool and all that, but I just need a keg truck :lol:

Re: One of the most actually rare trucks I've purchased

Wow Tim! That truck is super cool! It looks physically better than the one I have IMO. Mainly because the taller grill etc, makes the truck look more proportioned.

Re: One of the most actually rare trucks I've purchased

Seeing pictures of these made me wonder about one I spotted along the highway a few years ago up on the Iron Range in Minnesota. Pretty sure its a C/40 cowl chassis, think it was a bread truck and its still there last I knew.

Re: One of the most actually rare trucks I've purchased

I'd say that the potential of what you can do with that rig is just about endless.

If I had it it would be turned into a nice camper/motor home rig. I've got a Camper out in the yard that is suffering the ravages of time on the outside but has near perfect appliances and pieces on the inside to do the conversion.

He had sold the property and exceeded the time they agreed upon to get the place cleared out. He still has a 71 K20 I'm trying to get as well.

I haven't gotten the title from him yet, but I believe this to be a 1969 Chevy. It was a milk truck with a 292 no power steering, no radio, no nothing. It is the 1.5 ton suspension also. A guy I know said that this truck is super rare. He said these are actually called cowl chassis trucks and only 232 or so were made in 1969. He said roughly 1/4 of those were the 1.5 ton suspension.

That tells us nothing what you plan to do with it;) Very cool find, I see an RV in your future;)

Re: One of the most actually rare trucks I've purchased

Not much has changed with this truck. My Dad and I did get it running last fall and we put some 19.5 wheels and tires on the LH side so it can be moved around. Here is a bad pic of it setting last winter. My kids love playing in this thing. I'm guessing someday it will be a transport truck for a catering business but that is yet to be determined.

Here is a pic of the VIN tag and it shows a GVW of 14,000.

Re: One of the most actually rare trucks I've purchased

Cool rig. Glad you got her running.
