pics of the 65' c60 I just bought
Just went by and paid for the 65' I just bought. Got it off an old lady who told me a little history on the truck. It was a milk truck for Hiland Dairy back in the day. Was converted to a flat bed for putting up hay.
Has a 283 v-8 with split 2speed rear axle. Only one of the rear axles is driving. The other is just a trailing. Don't know what I'm going to do with it just yet, but I just couldn't help myself!! Has an engine driven air compressor and retro-fitted air brakes and horn. I'm going out tommorow to get it running and bring it back home. The p.o. said it was running about 2 years ago. Plan on priming the oil system, fresh gas and lines to a reserve tank. New plugs and a new battery. I have a HEI distributor laying around with some fresh spark plugs. Crossing my fingers... I'm not sure about the air brakes though. Any other suggestions to getting it back to the house? I have 5-7 miles to go...
