69C40/build
I thought I'd share a shop project we started in oct! We got a 1969 C40 to build as a tow vehicle! This is the chassis we will be using it's a 1986 motor home chassis that we shortened 12' to a wheelbase of 120"...

Re: 69C40/build
Did it come with four wheel disc brakes or did you convert it? I have a 69 C6500 I want to remove the air brakes from..... all rotted away.
