1962? C40 ascross the scales
Today this C40 came in ascross the scales.... I dont believe I have seen a C40 before, just can't remember for sure. I has a fairly new carb, radio delete plate, and 10 hole wheels. I will steal the carb and already got the radio plate. I thought it was kinda neat!

Re: 1962? C40 ascross the scales

Re: 1962? C40 ascross the scales
I think it is considered a one and a half ton. Pretty rare . They even made them recently and the were called HD 3500. A little later on ,they made a c40 on the med truck platform [like the c50-c60 ,the 40 had lighter springs]

Re: 1962? C40 ascross the scales
I was a winch truck, It has some kind of Caterpillar Equipment pieces sitting on the back. When people sell ascross the scales they pile all they can on, in and around the vehicle!

Re: 1962? C40 ascross the scales
I wasn't going to.... I only restore 64-66, I dont have room to store much of the other years and the Boss doesn't care for any 60-66 trucks. they dont really want the hassle of selling parts, they just buy and crush. I try and save all the stuff I can, but I have run out of space.

Re: 1962? C40 ascross the scales
Right, it's a '62. They made them for what I believe was 3 years, '60, '61 and '62. I believe the GVW on them were 14,000. There is still a lot of good parts left there.

Re: 1962? C40 ascross the scales
My 327 in my 66 c20 was green. It was built in Flint MI. Ive seen more gray colored ones though.

Re: 1962? C40 ascross the scales
Is the grille as nice as it looks in the photos? It was probably well protected with that bumper/guard in place. Thanks for continuing to post these photos. It's amazing how much stuff is still out there.

Re: 1962? C40 ascross the scales
I really didnt look to close at the grille ( I do 64-66, but appreciate all 60-66) there is a grille like this in the back of a 64 that look pretty nice too. I will takes pics of it and post them.

Re: 1962? C40 ascross the scales
Is that a lever for a PTO or something on the dash?

Re: 1962? C40 ascross the scales
Can the whole truck be bought before being crushed?

Re: 1962? C40 ascross the scales
probably, we would just have to weigh it and it would be 300 dollars a ton. probably weigh out upwards close to 1000.00
Lots of metal there with the iron bed and everything
