Re: Trucks of the farm!!
I fit in too. Grandpa bought new and hauled anything and everything (cows) in the back. Some work later hard to tell unless u look in the box!
I even found a pic with a tractor in the background to give more farm feel. |

Re: Trucks of the farm!!
Here is my 1963 C50 cattle hauler, it was used to transport cattle and horses until it wouldn’t pass CA Smog so was parked to rust away back in 2001 at my neighbor’s ranch.
Being a 60-66 freak I had my eye on it for a while and finally asked my neighbor if he was interested in selling it, and he said if I could get it running he would be happy to see it go. I got it running in October 2021 and drove it across the street to my ranch (slowly, carefully-no brakes!) and will return it to its former glory as time and $$ permit. Love this truck! Photo 1 is at my ranch, photo 2 is where and how I found it

Re: Trucks of the farm!!
Hello
My 1965 Chevy C10 spent 30 years (1986 2016) outside on a farm in Texas. I purchased truck in 2016 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1648324489 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1648324489 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1648324489 |

Re: Trucks of the farm!!
Does a ranch count? Mine was off a ranch in WY used to haul a backhoe. You can tell that a fifth wheel hitch was used by the notches and holes in the wood bed.

Re: Trucks of the farm!!
When I bought the 66 back in 98 or so it was for my 16 year old son as a project for his first vehicle. The 283 was toast. 2nd Owner was jumping a tractor and had mistakenly left the tractor in gear. When it started, it T-boned the ol 66 and pushed it into a irrigation ditch. The little 283 ingested water, hydro-locked and the moron just pulled it out of the ditch , towed it to the barn and it sat for a number of years.
Son and I put a mild 350 and TH350 trans,, started finding parts and fixing lots of body abuse, rust and mangled pieces. Then sons school grades went down the crapper. Told him he had to sell the truck. (no grades no truck!!) Didn't take long for me to realize, the $350 he paid for the truck was a drop in the bucket compared to my motor and trans and pieces I had 'donated' to the effort. Gave him his $350 back and ..... Well it's morphed into something the ol farm truck never saw coming....

Re: Trucks of the farm!!
Mine was an old farm truck out here in WA just west of the Puget Sound, my daily driver and will continue to be that and my farm rig when I get out of the Navy.

Re: Trucks of the farm!!
The day I brought mine home from a farm in Iowa.
And the day Dennis Gage stood in front of it during taping of his show at Torquefest in Farley, IA. |

Re: Trucks of the farm!!
My 66's hard working life on the farm was cut short when it's owner became disabled not long after the work began. It remained on the farm for nearly forty years, only to be parked in the barn.
When this picture was taken in 2008, it had clocked only 8700 miles and was totally original down to the tires! Despite it's condition, it was, is, and will always be a simple farm/work truck. |
