Project "TATER-no rust-never off road-rat rod-1967 C-30 dump"
 

With the sale/pick up of the C-30 dually "mutt" 1 day away...we had to fill its place in the shop with something equally as cool..........fresh from a horse pasture in Newnan, Georgia, (literally) let me introduce you all to "Tater". He comes complete with operational dump bed, shovel rack, complete with a bullet hole in the hood and 3 different size wheels and tires! I dont think I have ever owned one that was beat this bad!

Us GA boys sure know how to treat a truck. Hey, but it has got potential. Lots of potential!

Re: Project "TATER-no rust-never off road-rat rod-1967 C-30 dump"
 

It looks like mine before I took the flatbed off of it. Nice score!

Re: Project "TATER-no rust-never off road-rat rod-1967 C-30 dump"
 

I would hate to see how "Daddy" treated the trucks that he wasn't proud of!!!!:lol:

Re: Project "TATER-no rust-never off road-rat rod-1967 C-30 dump"
 

What are your plans. Sorry to to say, mine doesn't look much better (according to my wife).........Flat 67

Re: Project "TATER-no rust-never off road-rat rod-1967 C-30 dump"
 

I like it ,hope you are good to her. I know of a larger size 67 or 68 road tractor for sale near me in Canton ,Ga that actually looks pretty good but my wife said no.

The one on the left heading out to Walleska?

Re: Project "TATER-no rust-never off road-rat rod-1967 C-30 dump"
 

Actually the names of his kids are listed below that...I think thats what he is proud of.

Re: Project "TATER-no rust-never off road-rat rod-1967 C-30 dump"
 

nice find. Drive it down to south Ga and bring me some fill dirt:)

Re: Project "TATER-no rust-never off road-rat rod-1967 C-30 dump"
 

Makes the Excursion behind it look...not so big.

Nice truck!

I may be a bit biased, but I think she's a beauty!

Re: Project "TATER-no rust-never off road-rat rod-1967 C-30 dump"
 

That is the one where the old paving company was at. That would be a cool old truck with a little tlc.I hope someone saves it.

Hi Tater!

Re: Project "TATER-no rust-never off road-rat rod-1967 C-30 dump"
 

Yep....driven by it many times!!! I already have a medium duty or I would have bought it 2 years ago when they rolled it out there. Here is a picture of my medium duty dump..

Re: Project "TATER-no rust-never off road-rat rod-1967 C-30 dump"
 

:lol:



did you paint that medium duty? I assume that it's 505 Dark Green? Looks nice, is that single stage or base/clear? Reason I ask is my 68 had the same paint and i'm trying to get ideas for a "better than stock" paint scheme...

Re: Project "TATER-no rust-never off road-rat rod-1967 C-30 dump"
 

Don`t do a whole lot to that one,if you don`t mind.I`d be fine with it how it sits.Have any idea of an approxinate time you`ll be getting tired of this one?:lol:

That 505 has a tint of yellow in it when it`s healthy that brighten`s it up.When it`s tired it doesn`t look like something you`d want back on your truck after all the work.Of course,that`s alot of colors.

Re: Project "TATER-no rust-never off road-rat rod-1967 C-30 dump"
 

I missed the names! My eye was drawn to the big bowtie with the 30 under it!

Re: Project "TATER-no rust-never off road-rat rod-1967 C-30 dump"
 

MSGROSS...........single stage.....they just shot the dash or ash tray to get the color.

Special-K..........Im sure it wont stay here long...I am moving away from the 67-72's selling most or all of the collection as you know. We just drug this one home because it was cheap and it had a PTO on it. I was going to make a mobile log splitter/hauler out of it using the PTO but it actually runs too well and has too much character to chop up. Final outcome or destination yet to be determined.

Re: Project "TATER-no rust-never off road-rat rod-1967 C-30 dump"
 

We have has some fun throwing inventory parts at this one......replacement pass. side door, newer tires and rims left over from the Dually-Mutt-Longhorn project, replacement seat, fresh (used) dual exhaust and new-used radiator. WHATS NEXT???????

Re: Project "TATER-no rust-never off road-rat rod-1967 C-30 dump"
 

After decorating the shop parking area for half a year it is finally "Maters/Taters" turn. Actually the name has changed a few times....It might be Manerd now....I don't know?! Board member "OrangeCrush1970" aka Jimmy Bob has decided life would be way cool with a dump truck in inventory so he has taken over this project to be used in his business. With the help of Taylor, board member "Old School Kid" and Mr. Paul we got the donor truck front clip removed and its engine pulled out. Manerd pulled in under its own power and his front clip removed and engine pulled. Clean up, pretty up and some way cool parts to come.....this things going to be TOUGH!

Re: Project "TATER-no rust-never off road-rat rod-1967 C-30 dump"
 

He got rolled out in the sun for a bath today!

Re: Project "TATER-no rust-never off road-rat rod-1967 C-30 dump"
 

Nice project! Did you ever sell the blue 67 or 8 Longhorn DRW you did? I loved how that one turned out.

Re: Project "TATER-no rust-never off road-rat rod-1967 C-30 dump"
 

cool!

Re: Project "TATER-no rust-never off road-rat rod-1967 C-30 dump"
 

Yes........sold the 68 dually Longhorn mutt at Christmas and the 72 Suburban a few weeks ago.
Cleaning house!!! Ive got a few more for sale...What do you need?

Re: Project "TATER-no rust-never off road-rat rod-1967 C-30 dump"
