That rig would look cool to restore but leave some of the patina .... |
Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Interesting truck.
If original, it's either a '64 or '65 and looks like a 5000 Model and could possibly be a 6500. If it had the original Front Bumper, I could tell for sure. I see an Air Horn. Does it have Air Brakes? |
Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
1965 6500 with air brakes,and what we can tell it is a 600 holmes,there is a tag on it near the bottom side that has model 655 on it.
|
Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Great to see another 6500 out there.
They are pretty rare. What is the GVW on it? Also, does it still have the 478 in it? |

After we sold my Peterbilt, we needed a heavy haul truck. The boys in our shop went out back and brought a rollover tractor, a dump truck and a single axle tractor, into the shop and built this out of the three trucks. They took it down to the bare frame rails and started back up. It obviously hasn't been to the paint shop yet but it turned out good. 60 Series Detroit w/jake brake and a 13 speed.
I haven't driven it yet but a driver took a load of steel over to NW Arkansas Friday and said it runs good. |

Cool old Mack popped up on the C/L
https://portland.craigslist.org/yam/...109389225.html 1958 Classic Mack Service Truck Probably not what you have in mind to start a business, but this truck is functional as a new truck. It will get you to the job for much less than the cost of a new service truck. It has a unique look, nobody is going to mistake you for a different mechanic, its going to need welder work and it will need an air compressor. It has a 200 gallon aux fuel tank. It has two aux oil tanks and multiple tool boxes. Runs and drives great Contact Nick at 971-312-2419 |

Not sure the year of this truck. It is at the dealership I used to work at. The business was turned over to the great grandsons of the original owner. They now are selling used construction equipment. Larry the grandpa is in his 80s. The truck apparently was used by Dave Marcus. In the 70s. It is Really nice.
|
Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Looks like a '65.
Sure seems nice. |
Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Great truck do you have anymore pictures of it. How did you distinguish between 64-66 Bill, badge location? Pat
|
Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Hah! I just came here to link Marty B's thread with this picture so you could see it, Pat. I see Marty beat me to it. Nice LCF
|
Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Not many restored 60 66 lcf, I wonder if people are starting to show more interest in them? Good parts scarce. Still need oem stakebed or something close for mine.
|
Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
I wish the tooling was still around to make that rail stock. Especially the corners

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
The Orange Dodge sounds great. If the other truck has a Detroit, I can't even hear it.
|
Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
I believe I posted this video in the Detroit Diesel Videos thread. Probably the twin 6" straight stacks drowned out the muffled truck. It would be nice to know what is in each truck. I assumed both had Detroits

How about a slideshow of earlier Australian road Trains?

Dual purpose push truck/hoist counterweight. It would suck if something still found it's way through to poke the radiator. Pretty cool old IH R-model.
Here's another tough old goat built from a road tractor Attachment 2052081 And a handsome tandem Attachment 2052082 Tough pickup I'd like to have |
