Bob, I have located some 637's online with 2 sticks. A town in NY had some. The 637 and the 10-Speed RR was a good combination. With a full load (30,000) it would die on some hills like a Detroit and require a lot of shifting, which I didn't mind, but was pretty impressive none-the-less. I always wished they gave me a Detroit though, lol.

Here are a couple we use around the farm. The 72, 366, 5+2 has been there since it was new. The white 70 350, 4+2 is handy for hauling out of the field, but it has made several trips to the elevator. Just have to be extra mindful in the curves!

I love seeing that you work these trucks. I see a few in use on farms around here, grain bodies. I think that's just great.

I don't know if I've showed these yet. But I keep finding them on Purplewave.com. I hope one can wait for me before they all get cycled out. One day I hope to raise crop on the family place up home in the mountains. Not a lot of land, but could offer my services around the county, just to enjoy putting one to use. I guess I could do that here for now

Heavy Mediums are cool trucks.

I'm on a weekend trip with my wife & I swear I've seen 3 67-72 C50s or larger trucks. Scavenger hunt in western NC.

Just picked up this beautiful '67 C50. It was sitting in a field less than 5min. from my house. And yes that is a Radioshack speaker mounted in the corner -gives a whole new meaning to the term head-banger:metal:

Looks like a good one! Radio Shack, that would be Realistic, right?

Cool truck, interesting story, great work on the wheels. But you could probably guess what I'm going to say, lol. Too bad it's an Automatic.

Truck also sounds great and pretty surprising fuel mileage. My 478 Gas would only get about 7-9 MPG.
