I haven't seen it for a few years, but there was a guy who had a C-50 dump truck, with a Custom Cab. I believe it was a '67 or 8. It was turquoise with a white top. All of the Custom trim badges were in place and it had a set of ALCOA wheels on it. It was very, very clean, especially considering he was hauling asphalt with it.

Nearby, there are a pair of '67 or 68's. Both are LWB.....and just sitting. Guy owns several dump trucks (not the one above).

Saw a yellow '68 SWB today, that is for sale. It's been restified. Aftermarket wheels. Nice from 50-ft away. I need to stop and eyeball it....and check on the '68's above.

The guy doing my '69 has acquired an amalgamation of parts that is assembled on a Blazer chassis. The cab/front cap is 68. The hood is 69-72, but will have to be swapped for the right one. The bed is a short step and the fenders indicate the bed to be anywhere from '55 to 66. Of course the bed is shortened and whoever did it just lopped off the front of the bed, including the steps. It'll take some work to make it sharp, but my boy will make it happen. He's a metal wizard.
