The "new" grain truck.
Here is my father in laws "new" grain truck. My wife and I were at there house back in August and I was killing time on eBay. The listing was literally up for less than 2 hours when we called about it. We were the first people to call on it. We took the two hour drive up there that evening and drove it home. My wife and her mother were not real thrilled at the idea of another vehicle but we just could not pass this deal up. 1968 C-50 all original one owner. 250 I6, 4 speed, split rear, 64000 miles, and clean as a whistle. Just a couple of very small rust spots on the fenders. Freshly painted grain bed with a Schwartz twin cylinder lift. The interior is SPOTLESS. I have never seen an old farm truck with an interior that is this nice. I got to drive it the last half of the trip home and it is solid. Drives better than a lot of newer trucks. The worst part of it is that I don't own it.

Re: The "new" grain truck.
Super clean truck, I love it. Real nice colour too. Is that one of the factory CBs?

Re: The "new" grain truck.
Petie724x4 - No that's not a CB. That was a two way VHF radio the previous owner installed.
DANTIP - It is VERY clean. The old guy we got it from took excellent care of everything he owned. The "old" trucks are a early 60's Ford and a 1970's International. This one is still cleaner and nicer than the other two. slomotion - Thanks. Not a bad deal for $2200

Re: The "new" grain truck.
I love the little stick-on oil change info holder. I've been around long enough to have actually stuck those on cars and filled out the little info cards at the shop I worked at.

Re: The "new" grain truck.
Oh I forgot to mention it has power steering (actual power steering, not just the spinner knob on the steering wheel) and the factory AM radio...that still works!
