That really is a nice one.

I don't think this has been shown. I know nothing about it, but it was for sale at the time I got the pictures

Orig AZ Burb · 05-06-2019, 11:18 AM

Special K,
That is a beast! What a cool rig.

**special-K** · 12-14-2019, 07:47 AM

I don't get the listings that don't show enough in pictures, give minimal info, yet they state "Serious inquiries only". I guess they figure asking for more info or for pictures of the side not shown are considered serious inquiries.

**HO455** · 12-14-2019, 02:37 PM

A friend pointed this one out to me. Very similar to the Chevrolet I almost bought back in 88 (if they hadn't cut a 12" by 18" hole in the dash for the hydraulic valves to control the snow plow). If I had known what they would be worth today I wouldn't have passed on it.

Hello, I am actively looking for the front Dana 44 Spicer locking hubs as in post #336. I apoligize ahead of time, I know this is a Napco thread, but I have tried many places and websites with no luck. Does anyone know someone that has these hubs for sale? Thanks in advance

Try Dougs in Pella Iowa. 641-628-2755

**chtr65** · 12-15-2019, 12:33 PM

Thanks for the tip. I believe I have called him. But, I will check with him again.

**special-K** · 12-16-2019, 08:38 AM

What year truck? Do they vary through '69?

**chtr65** · 12-16-2019, 06:50 PM

The truck is a 66 1/2 ton, K-10. Thanks

**special-K** · 12-18-2019, 06:47 AM

Oh Ok. What I have are 3/4t. Good luck. They are out there somewhere. Post a WTB. I believe the 67-69s would be the same as '66. Not too sure about back to first GM 4wds

Two of my favorite toys, I should’ve never got rid of them

I wonder where the 57 is, I think it went NW to Washington

Wow! That's a looker......

**57NAPCO** · 07-22-2020, 09:28 AM

Thanks, I was 99% sure it was one of the trucks in the NAPCO promo film climbing Pikes Peak.

**jocko** · 07-28-2020, 09:54 PM

It couldn't have gone to the NW, that's only where trucks come FROM

Musta been tough to sell that beauty. Don't feel bad though, I'm still kicking myself for a few I've sold. Ok, for all the ones I've sold, but still...

Stamper Logging ???

Sometimes you have a great notion to buy something like that

**HO455** · 04-24-2021, 11:08 AM

Bringing it to the top with this sweet 58. From the comments it seems to be a bit contentious as to the origin of the truck. But it is a beautiful truck nonetheless. Plus I have a soft spot for Pontiac powered GMC's.

**special-K** · 12-29-2020, 10:09 AM

A StepVan. That's too damn cool!.

I thought I had posted this truck I saw. I was at our ATHS Tri-State Show in VA back in Sept and this guy brought a '57 1t NAPCO he restored into a welder rig. That's what he did all his life. He's a retired pipeline welder. I have always admired those guys' rigs. Some real custom-built trucks. The best part is this guy came up from LA just 10 miles from TX (hauled it).

The '57 truck came out of WA and was formerly a brush fire truck. Deluxe cab, V8. Now a 327. It has headers, finned aluminum valve covers and air filter. Looked just right in there, to me. Pretty much the same set-0up as my '72

I like this truck too. Welders build some pretty cool beds for their trucks.
