arrover · 12-26-2012, 11:54 AM

Cool truck. I would suggest ebay if you are able to get sellers to ship to you.

6066gmcguy · 01-19-2013, 02:17 PM

Great Forum!!! I have 2 truck at this time, the 1960 Chevy LCF & the 1965 GMC Rescue Squad. The LCF has had all the bad rusted metal stripped off it and is now just a bear frame. I'm looking to find a good LFC body or GMC B-model to put back on it.

The 1965 GMC 3500 Rescue Squad I got this past summer, it is a FUN Truck!!!

6066gmcguy · 01-19-2013, 02:21 PM

I have had a few others in the past, like this 1952 Chevy COE

I had a working home made tow truck on a 1966 Chevy C60 with 366 V8

I also had a 1970 Chevy C60 with a service body.

huh?

Critter · 01-20-2013, 04:53 AM

Sorry, when I wrote "whatayaknow" I didn't mean it in any relation to your screen name. I started this poll years ago and I was just jokingly commenting on how it turned into us getting a big truck forum. If you go back and read my first post or 2 at the beginning of page 1 it will make more sense.

watahyahknow · 02-19-2013, 01:17 AM

you could do a like new restore on the paint and try to find out wat was on the back of the truck and show the truck to the coca cola company , they might just want to use the truck for advertizing

do a strong motor in it and a good suspension try to get the weightdistribution close to 50/50 front to back and you might even try to get the fastest cola delivery truck on the ovaltrack and make some cash on entertaining the crowd on top of the advertizingstuff for coca cola

Mayo · 02-20-2013, 08:09 PM

Thats awesome! I don't know what I'd do with it, but I would definitely leave the paint as it is.

auto doug · 02-20-2013, 11:39 PM

Yeh i think leave as is Of course, I'm thinking a low rider Rat Rod would be cool

with some old stainless tank of some type or racks for old bottles? But I'm afraid I'm going to have to send it to the crusher

because the building I'm in is scheduled to be demolished May 31 and it needs to go! anyone want to rescue it! call me 402 474 2344 I'm serious!

watahyahknow · 02-21-2013, 02:16 AM

wow you should be able to find a home or it amoung the fellow forummembers even though youre pretty far away from most of them

C10 - C90 Bill · 02-21-2013, 05:41 PM

If it doesn't sell, run an ad in your local classifieds. It is way too good to crush. There area a lot of good parts on there.

Bill
