Recently Purchase my First Heavy Hauler

[68BlueBeast]

Hello Guys,

I am new to the larger trucks and have been lurking around on the site since I purchased my first large truck about six months ago. I just thought I would post pictures here since it seems like there isn't a whole lot of action in this section.

The truck is a 1968 C50 with a dumping bed on the back. It's mostly original, but there are some parts like the carb and alternator that appear to have been swapped out. It has the original 366 (pad stamp matches protect-o-plate), SM465 and a two speed vacuum shifted rear end. I bought it to haul firewood and take trash to the dump. I really enjoy driving this truck. The engine still runs smooth and quiet and it's blast to just slowly cruise down the road in at 40-50 mph.

I found the original owner's manual, protect-o-plate and manual for the Schwartz hydraulics in the glove box when I got it home. I haven't hunted yet for a build sheet in the seat or anything though.

Here are a few pics I snapped at various times and locations of it.
