100% I would put a flatdeck on it and lift sleds up on it when i rip to Lost Johny for some tree ridin. Seriously I'd love to have one of them for a snowmachine hauler, the log boom and tandems may be overkill but.....

**WIDESIDE72** · 02-22-2014, 08:46 PM

Haul logs. IMO its priced at a number that you would only get a return if you were in thinsustry and put it to work.

hugger6933 · 02-22-2014, 08:53 PM

If you can, you might want to post in the heavy hauler section, they love those trucks there. Not saying we don't they just may have a different idea. I have been wanting a C-40 50 or 60 but that one is way out of my price. I have found my dream machine for the project but other projects in front and a shop full and low funds are just the top 3 reasons why I haven't already got it at home. Jim

I would "lift things up and put them down"....

**DreamRyder1963** · 02-22-2014, 09:11 PM

I would convert it to a truck hauler.

ol_skool_chevy · 02-22-2014, 09:15 PM

I would pull the 427 and build it and dump the truck.... good 427 are hard to find now

**DeadheadNM** · 02-23-2014, 12:35 AM

Mounting a pumpkin cannon to the boom could be fun...I could launch pumpkins into Flathead Lake from various locations.

darush01 · 02-23-2014, 01:16 AM

I would probably ...... I have no idea aside from hauling logs but I want it but my wallet doesnt

dbash · 02-23-2014, 01:22 AM

I would haul logs from my property to the mill!!! wood is at an all time high but I cant stand the mess the loggers make so I cant bring myself to sign the contract...... That is a cool rig........

dbash · 02-23-2014, 01:24 AM

It needs a bulkhead behind the cab..... Its a widow maker right now with a load of logs and nothing but sheet metal protecting the driver.

**special-K** · 02-23-2014, 02:33 PM

^^^ I agree. I'd want a headache rack. I'll buy that and cut/haul/load logs for a living. I'd start a logging outfit with "gentle care" as our selling point. I could start with dbash's place and hopefully grab enough jobs to survive till Discovery Channel hooks me up with a show.

Another pic. I've seen a lot of larger 67-72 trucks around here, things like I imagine are C60's, which I imagine this truck is.

**Boog** · 02-23-2014, 03:54 PM

The make is optional as it has the blue bowtie on the hood and a GMC grille.

**bigmac73** · 02-23-2014, 04:29 PM

i would pull engine and scrap the rest
