4wd C60?!

[jaybatta]

Did ever a thing exist? I just had a crazy notion... how hard would it be to create a 4wd C60 plow truck. I already have the truck, just need to make it 4wd. I know it can be done, it's just a matter of getting the 4wd front axle, transfer case, hubs and if course how much money I want to throw at it. Any input is appreciated

I think the hardest part would be getting a front axle with the right load rating and width, and then matching the gearing.

The drivetrain is only a matter of handling the torque, so a big transfer case out of a military vehicle would be easy. Several of them are divorced too, so you just mount it behind the tranny and connect the shafts.

M936 5T's were selling for less than $4K a couple years ago at auction. 6wd and ready to go. I opted to not buy one because of how freaking huge they are. My C65 is much more manageable.

C65? What's that?

there are a lot of 4x4 c60,65,70 around our area .utitily trucks like the power co.and tree service has

[jaybatta]

Ahhh, I guess I should have specified 67-72 trucks. I'd live to make this truck I have a K60 haha but I think I'd be in waaay over my head with that one

[Jim Timber]

Same thing as a C60, but the next generation.



This is from my truck.

Oh wow we're getting deep into unfamiliar territory here. That axle looks expensive..and heavy.

[Jim Timber]

You don't want to de-rate your truck do ya?

Hahaha nah, she's headed for the shredder unless I can get someone to buy the rest of her. I'm hoping I can get someone to use a lot of the parts. I hate seeing these trucks gets recycled.

[jaybatta]

Good gravy....that is one bad truck. I can only dream of building something like that..sad thing is..I think I have a lot of the necessary parts now. But no place to build, store in the meantime. Maybe I'll find another one someday

[Jim Timber]

Love the green dump in that thread. Maybe mine will end up like it some day.

[undertaker72]

He still has them both. I don't think he has done much on the white one for awhile. The orange 67 he still drives a little bit in the summer. The burb doesn't get used much either.
