Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Interesting truck.
If original, it's either a '64 or '65 and looks like a 5000 Model and could possibly be a 6500. If it had the original Front Bumper, I could tell for sure. I see an Air Horn. Does it have Air Brakes?

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Great to see another 6500 out there.
They are pretty rare. What is the GVW on it? Also, does it still have the 478 in it?

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
After we sold my Peterbilt, we needed a heavy haul truck. The boys in our shop went out back and brought a rollover tractor, a dump truck and a single axle tractor, into the shop and built this out of the three trucks. They took it down to the bare frame rails and started back up. It obviously hasn't been to the paint shop yet but it turned out good. 60 Series Detroit w/jake brake and a 13 speed.
I haven't driven it yet but a driver took a load of steel over to NW Arkansas Friday and said it runs good.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
The tag on the lower kick area says 27000 gvw and it does have the 478 with a 5 speed clark tranny in it with 2 speed rear,possibly a highway tractor when new,there is a air line valve bolted to the back of the cab that has been disconected. Found a 1965 Chevy C60 flatbed yesterday out at a old body shop, gonna get some pics today,I also have a older twin boom Holmes 600 wrecker body,so maybe another build for the brother of the GMC,lol

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Over in the GM Semis thread we have a lot of car carriers going on. Some pretty odd old ones. Here is another, even more odd yet!

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Cool old Mack popped up on the C/L
https://portland.craigslist.org/yam/...109389225.html 1958 Classic Mack Service Truck Probably not what you have in mind to start a business, but this truck is functional as a new truck. It will get you to the job for much less than the cost of a new service truck. It has a unique look, nobody is going to mistake you for a different mechanic, its going to need welder work and it will need an air compressor. It has a 200 gallon aux fuel tank. It has two aux oil tanks and multiple tool boxes. Runs and drives great Contact Nick at 971-312-2419

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Similar vintage Kenworth. Fire fighters special. Not mine but a cool old truck.

Appropriately named "Zaphire," has a Cummins NH-220 motor, 5 & 4 Brownie Transmission, Jake Brake, 3800 gallon aluminum tank, Stand away, gas powered, high pressure, high volume, fire pump(not PTO driven). Comes with 6 inch fill hoses with strainer for creekside pick up and has 1.5 inch fire hose and reel. Currently located in Post, Oregon near Prineville, and will be available to see in June. Contact me for details.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Not sure the year of this truck. It is at the dealership I used to work at. The business was turned over to the great grandsons of the original owner. They now are selling used construction equipment. Larry the grandpa is in his 80s. The truck apparently was used by Dave Marcus. In the 70s. It is Really nice.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Not many restored 60 66 lcf, I wonder if people are starting to show more interest in them? Good parts scarce. Still need oem stakebed or something close for mine.
