Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
heres my 66 60 series.. luckily all I had to do with the brakes/clutch was replace the master cylinder, and bleed the clutch.
I have been doing some research trying to figure out how to insure it... will probably only use it a few times a year for car/truck retrival, and maybe for some dump runs or gravel if needed... as far as I can tell the curb weight is about 9500 lbs (the only figure I could come up with from a multitude of google searches) how do any of you that own/use these big trucks insure them?

The weight sounds about right. I weighed my '62 GMC 4000 16 Ft Flatbed and it was about 8000. Mine didn't dump though which made it lighter. Bill

Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
that truck looks usuable you could make long boards at the end and a winch at the front and use it as a car hauler , as for the curbweight , dont you have some weighingbridge in the neighbourhood like at the grainfactory or the scrap metal dealer you can use to get the weight of the truck ?

Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
i think a holliday trip to arizona is in order , the parts seem small enough to be hauled along in the plane in a suitcase , with the amount of parts needed it prolly be cheaper too

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

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.

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.

after seeing that think I'll have to go puor a tall frosty one. Diet coke that is, They work so well for me [6.2' and 390#]. All kidding aside that could be a very cool one and a big block to boot.I still have not given up on my dreams of one with a 454 and a auto tilt tac/vac dash 19.5 wheels anda few other goodies. I have most all of the parts gathered I just need the time and the right turck. But it is so far down the list of projects right now there is no piont for me. Jim

Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
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

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