OK guys it's official. I have a sickness!!
I pulled in yet another 1 ton tonight. I just can't seem to help myself. I have been trying to downsize my fleet for weeks, but this was too good of a deal to pass up (aren't they always). It's a '69 GMC C3500 Dumper with a 351E V6 in front of a NP-435-GA 4 speed and a Dana 70 rearend. As bad as it looks, it runs great and the dump works great as well. It was used in a junk yard (hence the rattlecan'd "Junk Yard Dog" on the door) and the body is rough, but body parts are something I have plenty of. Oddly enough the dump body is in great shape. It is mechanically sound and has power steering and power brakes which is not all that common with the V6's. The doors are in the back because they were going change them and ended up deciding not to. Still yet it drove up on the ramp truck everything seems to work. I think I'll just change out the cab with a '67 GMC cab I already have. I have need for a dumper and just couldn't let it pass by!
Another thing is that it has big 18" wheels 8 hand hole wheels and the tires are almost 33" tall!
