Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...

C 50 rollback, Those pictures are inspiring. Looks to be a 67. There is something about the c50 that looks contemporary. Others look there age. Give it a DuPont overhaul and it will look like a million bucks.
I would like to find some front fenders for mine, then I would consider getten it painted. For now I'm focusing on a rear brake job.
Want to hear a good one? I was at a local truck parts supply store yesterday, the counter guy could not find availability for the part # off the package (Wagner F128905 Auto ajt kit). So he called around, ended up calling a company in California. The lady on the other end said they had one left and for an extra 8$ she/they would mark it emergency and the part would be reserved for me.And something about otherwise someone else might buy it. I'm going through the counter guy so I says "ya".The counter guy was as surprised as I was, we both thought I was buying it.
I'm not in a great position to negotiate since these parts are hard to come by. It seems that the 67 c50 is a bit elusive in the books. I feel that I'm being taken advantage off. I'm not putting a show truck together at any cost. I'm working on a truck that I've owned and operated since 82. I hope the industry responds appropriately. Not thinking that this is some fade that they can charge what ever they want because they think it is someone's frivolous pass time, rather see that individuals are repairing their vehicles for utilitarian purposes. Well just a though. bushy
