That's a 133 inch wheel base C/30, not a C/20.
You'll see a huge increase in your license plate cost. Sweet truck though, not many of them around. |

Initial plans are to get it running. PO says head gasket was blowing oil, so I'm pulling head and sending it to a machine shop. The thermostat has a bolt broken off that needs extracted.
Andy, so the truck is actually a 1 ton? I enclosed pic of fender emblem, but the door decal rated at 9000lbs tells me something too. Does anyone have any idea of production numbers? I want to know just how rare it is. |
