I saw the roll back but if I remember they wanted a lot of money for it. More than I wanted to pay for it.....

I'll bet you got noticed while you were towing the Elco. Two great looking rides.

Cool glad you seen it, I think they were asking 15-16 at first and it came down to 12ish, I think it was fair either way. Don't really see too many roll back swaps. Been wanting to do one for a while.

I had a stalker at one point. kept going past me and slowing down taking pictures. She was cute and waved so I guess it was ok.

I have a 78 c60 rollback waiting for some sort of swap. Probably would use a 55-59 GMC LCF cab. Easier to widen the front fenders and I could add a couple more feet to the bed.

I hauled oversize loads for 15 years. I got MANY stories of random people driving alongside the load gawking at what I was hauling.
