Straight from the Farm!

Picked up this little jewel today, been on Craigslist for awhile now and couldnt resist when the price got Right! its kind of a neat little truck..I bought it from the second owner that has owned it since 1972. When new it was sent to Parkhurst in Sedalia,MO. where they shortened the frame from 157" to 145" and installed one of there 10' grain beds with fold up stock racks.
Truck is in really good shape since its been in a barn most of its life and has just a little over 43,000 miles. Little 307 with a 4 speed runs great but pretty weak in the brakes so she got trailered the 120 miles home.

Re: Straight from the Farm!

That thing is sweet!!!

Re: Straight from the Farm!

Sweet! No matter the style, love these trucks. So does that mean this was purchased originally with no box or was something taken off when new? Just curios.

Re: Straight from the Farm!

Nice truck! Those beds were grand when new with the pinstripes.
Did they alter the frame or move the axle forward and chop it. Pictures of the frame would be really great.... Do you need my ship to address for the truck?? :-)

Re: Straight from the Farm!

Pretty cool truck. What are the plans for it?

Re: Straight from the Farm!

Nice looking truck.

I like the radio delete plate and the cowl with no ant hole. I guess back at the farm in those days if you wanted any music you better learn how to sing..........lol. Very solid truck. Nice find!!!!

Re: Straight from the Farm!

Sweet ride, whats up with the gooseneck trailer, lookin to sell my bumper pull and go with the same style yer pulling, what length and who built it if you dont mind me asking.

Re: Straight from the Farm!

Nice little gem is right! I like those Parkhursts and Omaha Standards. Used to be all you saw,then started seeing Obecos around here and now...any whatever under the sun. I like the mudflaps.

Re: Straight from the Farm!

Glad you got it Rob, I seen it on there. Cool ol truck, I didn't know you were looking again or I would of Pm'd you, heck you probably seen it before me, lol. Did you get your 68 sold yet? I've been thinking about it lately. Randy

Re: Straight from the Farm!

Plans are to just clean it up a little and use it, I have a lot of fence rows to clean up and this ole girl should work real good for hauling brush. Really do need a 4x4 tho for where I have to go.

Yes it was ordered as a Cab & Chassis truck, meaning it comes with no bed. They came in 133" and 157" wheelbase, I think the 145" custom wheel base fits this truck just right with the 10ft bed.

The trailer is a 26ft Load Master with low profile drive on fenders...really pulls nice..and youll Love the difference between the goose neck and bumper pull.

Parkhurst is just up the road from where this truck was bought so I'm sure thats why it was chose, Omaha Standard is pretty heavy still in this area and both make a really nice product.

I wouldn't mind owning this one!
Clean original old trucks are hard to pass up.
I'd like to build a 127" wb dually.

Re: Straight from the Farm!

Do the valve covers have any remains of a "307" decal ?

I'd like to see a picture of it if it does . . . Thanks !!!

Re: Straight from the Farm!

Nice truck Rob, I have been watching it for a while and was tempted to go look at it, looks like a nice one!

Thanks Joe, I figured you might go look at it as close as it was.

This truck has Gold listed on the SPID as interior color but the dash pad sure looks like Sandalwood to me

Re: Straight from the Farm!

That's really a nice truck you have there. I'd bet there's not one like it within 200 miles of me. Well not many anyway..., great find

That is the correct "Gold" color.
This must be a '70.

Keep me posted if it ends up being for sale.
