Technically not a Craigslist find since I discovered it in a field less than 5min. from my house, but definitely an ultimate find. It was in such good shape, I had to snap it up.

Not 100% sure on the direction I want to go with this, but I'm thinking it will involve shortening the frame and adding an 8' fleetside box.

I'd like to ditch the heavy dually rear diff and replace it with a light-medium duty diff with similar style 20" rims and tall tires.

Not a Facebook user, what’s the price on truck and location before I have the wife pull it up and I fall more in love with it? I’ve got a 20k equipment trailer that would fit nicely behind it.

You should be able to open it regardless if you have an account or not. It's somewhere out in the Midwest for $12k

I'm not a facebook user either, but I do see that it is listed at Washington Court House, OH

Yeah, I tried opening it, believe me. Just takes me to page that invites me to create an account to see it. I had Facebook 10-15 years back and had a stalker really mess with my life. Swore I’d never use social media again. Long story…..
Anyway…. $12k huh? And 7 hours away. 🤔

Have to say that I've never seen a C-60 with just a 4-Speed. They are usually 5-Speeds and "maybe" a 4-Speed with a 2-Speed Rear and many times a 5-Speed with a 2-Speed Rear, as well as 2 Sticks, but never just a single 4. Wonder if it still has the SPID available.

Real nice truck none-the-less.

Got it pulled up. Zoomed in on the stick and definitely not a two speed rear. Gotta agree with Bill. But isn’t the 4th gear in that truck the same 5th/ high in a 5sp/2sp rear…. 1:1? Maybe they figured the 427 had enough torque to get it up to that range with less steps? Feel free to educate me.
Looking at the other pics, it looks decent, but if you take the $6k bed off of it, I’m not sure you have a $6k truck under it.

Right, no matter what combination a truck would have, the last gear would be 1:1. The only time it wouldn't be, would be with an Overdrive Trans.
