Check out this old farm truck

[JJorgensen52]

A good buddy of mine bought an old horse farm from an elderly couple a few months back. In cleaning out the barn, he found this:

(my truck was the field service vehicle )

from the VIN, it's a '67 133" C-30 built at the Tarrytown plant - 10,000lbs GVW. Has all HD options and a pushbutton radio. Original 3 speed granny with PTO driven hydraulic dump.





when he found it, it ran for a day and no dump - after that it wouldn't start anymore (has a crate 350 from the 70's). I went down this weekend to give it a checkup - removed and snaked the entire fuel line, cleaned filters, and a new pump and she fired right up! Then I reset the timing (was set at 26* base advance) and had it purring like a kitten. Moved on to the bed - where we added an entire gallon of hydraulic oil to the PTO pump and got the bed working properly. Then I removed about 60lbs of extra wiring, brackets and hardware associated with the non-functional plow and who knows what else. Then we put it to work!



It's obvious that the truck was used HARD and not well cared for. My buddy doesn't really want to make a pretty truck out of it, but we're going to do what we can to make it into a fully functional, intact work truck. So stay tuned for periodic updates, hopefully first up is to replace the broken shackle and get the rear brakes working (disconnected for some reason, though all the lines are new?) - then a new set of non-split rims and tires, and hopefully find a donor cab/doghouse with a little less rust and fewer dents.
