Honest Honey, they just followed me home - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*Peanutbutter* · 03-10-2013, 12:24 AM

Well, I just aquired 2 new yard ornaments, this is farm sale season and it wasn't good timing but it never is, but some times you just gotta do it. These 2 C60s followed me home. The blue one is a 1964 C60 with the original 348 and SM 420 and vacum two speed, nothing unusual if it weren't for the 348, runs great. The white one is a little different, I really like it, 1966 C60 with 366 2 barrel, S3152 5 speed trans and electric two speed. Has the factory tach and radio, 79000 miles and is the best cab and sheet metal I have yet. I just have to decide what I'm going to do with them.

i have always found old grain trucks interesting, i like them! what do you think youll end up doing with them?

Flat 67 · 03-10-2013, 03:21 AM

I like them, especially the blue one with the patina paint.

ETsC10 · 03-10-2013, 12:21 PM

That white one is beautiful!
Congrats...great find on both!

C10 - C90 Bill · 03-10-2013, 12:25 PM

Nice set of trucks.

rambler · 03-11-2013, 05:44 PM

nice trucks..I wish I had the old 53 we had at the farm when I was a kid.. that thing look HUGH when I was 8 y/o lol...

*Peanutbutter* · 03-11-2013, 08:05 PM

Brought my 66 half way home today, gotta wait for the mud to dry before I take them to the high country

**special-K** · 03-12-2013, 09:38 AM

They both look like solid good trucks

*Peanutbutter* · 03-12-2013, 11:08 AM

the white 66 is the tightest, most rust free 60 or 80 that I have found yet, I think now that its warming up I'll get a new can of Dupont rubbing compound and see if it will clean up. Regretfully I have no use for the two grain beds and twin cylinder hoists and they are in good shape to. I do have a 1965 C 30 motor home with 33,000 miles on it that is a little cleaner and you can't believe how nice the doors shut.

Nice trucks!
Is that a repainted Chalet in the background?

what happened was we bought the 77 chalet and the blazer was so rusty it was a lost cause, we had a chance to pick up the 85 blazer for 700 bucks so now I guess its a 1985 blazerchalet. Took it on its maiden voyage last summer to an Arron Tippin concert in Odell Oregon, Hood river county fair, we want to do it again but not until I do the 4BT cummins swap on it. We got 11.5 miles to the gallon but at the cost of gas it was to much for us, but we did end up at the ATHS truck show in Brooks Oregon for the first time, we are going again this year but it has to be with the 4bt cummins.

I, for one, would love to learn more about these. Could you guys possibly start a thread over in the Alternate Tinkering forum for all to enjoy?

Considering the mods Peanutbutter has planned for his Chalet, that might be a good idea for him. The least I can offer is this one other info thread 67-72 put together at the '73-'91 Blazers, Jimmys, and Suburbans board, plus the two links in my sig below. First one is for the owners' & enthusiasts' forum where I'm the #2 moderator. The 2nd is for goes to the old Blazer Chalet web site that was given to me (wish I had the time & money to update it).

*Peanutbutter* · 03-25-2013, 08:46 PM

I was planning to go ahead and start a thread over at 73 to 91 blazer but you guys let me know if you'd rather have it in AT. Spent the day getting it ready to go to Moab easter weekend, may just sit in the lawn chairs on main street taking pics of all the cool stuff driving by. Here's a couple of pics to tease you a little bit. Hey, 77 blazerchalet that number is 1429, haven't located old vin yet, be in touch with you on your site later. First pic is down in the bottom of the river in Twin Falls Idaho and the other is Odell Oregon, spent the night at the sawmill.
