I HAVE a leaf spring rear, C60 with Air brakes and a WAY short ( 135" WB) frame that might make a good donor for this project, but I still need to keep on this guy and get him to sell me the truck like he promised before I get to serious.
My GMC was pretty short but not that short. I dunno exactly - maybe about 150" ??? 135" is about the same as a regular cab long bed pickup.

So that's why I had to use a trailer with it unless I only hauled 12' logs (had it set up that way for a while with an electric winch powered cable loader). It had been a utility truck originally. It would have made a good little dump truck too.

Is your C-60 complete? Not much of a deal to stretch the frame.
