We Had these at my old Company. Everyone has seen them. But you had to drive these stripped down uncomfortable, back breaking, sweat-boxes, that you had to climb into in a pitched enclosed dock. They had no steps and in an angled dock [most were because of drainage] you had to step on the thin wheelwell to get in. When they switched to the Louisville models the injuries went way down.Do I sound upset ? You bet your Bippy...We survived though most of us were from good stock

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
I drove a C-model straight box truck once. My buddy had a rafting company and hauled rafts from take-out back in it. This was in the West Virginia mountains. Take-out was down in a ravine at the end of an abandoned road along the river. Had to cross an antique single steel truss bridge over the river. I mean, only rafting companies and folks looking to fish used this bridge. I think everyone 'assumed' it was safe. Not driving every day for a living in one, but that was hairy driving down that old washed out dirt road through the woods and over that bridge... both ways!
My sign painter/truck lettering/artwork buddy has this one with a crane

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
I'd "settle" for a 3/4t. Yours are bth really nice. I have always hoped to have some sort of vintage chore boy like this, or a flatbed... or both, all tippy top ready to take into town for supplies.
These are 3/4t I had saved. :

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
A pair of D 700's.....
Both same year.... but the Goo$e put the next - year grill on his. ( I helped restore the white 'Cuda, some years ago in Orange County, Ca.) Not the truck..... it was found later.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
The yellow truck was originally painted in STP colors & used by Richard Petty before it was sold to the Snake.
From what I heard ( I won't divulge the source )..... Even though the trucks are history, ....the interior cab had at least as much..... "history".... ![]()

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Very cool. The real trucks! Must be '67s and the one has a '68 grille. I had a '69 W200, which was first year for new hood but same grille as '68. Mine ended up with '68 sheet metal (cab and hood). My first frame-off truck

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Next time someone says the 67-72 GM Trucks had rust issue you need to point out how old they are and rust happens to everything. That '69 Dodge cab was rusted out in '77 when I bought it. It was originally a 7up green color and had already had a repaint in '77 when I bought it. It was only 11 years old when I restored it, including a cab swap. Fords rusted before the GMs, too. The 67-72 GMs held up better than the 73-78s around here. dodge did built the badass 4wds back in the '69s though
