I guess a 3/4t would be good for milk toast?

I had a picture I showed here years ago of a restored single wheel C/30 egg truck at the landfill. I talked to the guy, original owner/egg man. He was hauling brush with it. Still lovin' it and still workin' it for chores

I think it should get some love to become a loved truck again.

I got up to see my mom this week and went by to grab pictures of this cool C/40 Cowl & Chassis box truck. So this would be the next notch up from that C/30 w/11,000# axle option... same rear. I'd love to get this away from this restaurant. I mean the truck is pretty cool and all that, but I just need a keg truck

Wow Tim! That truck is super cool! It looks physically better than the one I have IMO. Mainly because the taller grill etc, makes the truck look more proportioned.

Seeing pictures of these made me wonder about one I spotted along the highway a few years ago up on the Iron Range in Minnesota. Pretty sure its a C/40 cowl chassis, think it was a bread truck and its still there last I knew.

I'd say that the potential of what you can do with that rig is just about endless.

If I had it it would be turned into a nice camper/motor home rig. I've got a Camper out in the yard that is suffering the ravages of time on the outside but has near perfect appliances and pieces on the inside to do the conversion.

I haven't gotten the title from him yet, but I believe this to be a 1969 Chevy. It was a milk truck with a 292 no power steering, no radio, no nothing. It is the 1.5 ton suspension also. A guy I know said that this truck is super rare. He said these are actually called cowl chassis trucks and only 232 or so were made in 1969. He said roughly 1/4 of those were the 1.5 ton suspension.

That tells us nothing what you plan to do with it

Very cool find, I see an RV in your future

Not much has changed with this truck. My Dad and I did get it running last fall and we put some 19.5 wheels and tires on the LH side so it can be moved around. Here is a bad pic of it setting last winter. My kids love playing in this thing. I'm guessing someday it will be a transport truck for a catering business but that is yet to be determined.

Here is a pic of the VIN tag and it shows a GVW of 14,000.
