There's an ole greasy truck stop a few towns over from us that we go eat at every week. About half way there is an old wooden farm house. Next to it is an open carport with this truck sitting there. It's been in that exact spot for the past 2 or 3 years that I've know of. Last night I happened to have my camera as we passed so I stopped & took a few pics. The 67-72 era is more my scene & don't know much of anything about this style, but knew y'all would. I think the gas can & spot light are pretty cool looking & not that often do you see a 3/4 ton step side from back then. Are these factory options or just add ons? And what year is it exactly? Anyway the truck looks to be in really good shape overall. And someone has been taking a little time with it cause I noticed it has new tires & a bench seat out of another truck. If this thing was a 67-72 I'd be knocking on the neighbors door

or maybe i should be anyway

Im no expert, but its got the same badge on the fender as my 65 C10 except of course it says 20.

8lug too and being a C20 your looking at a 3/4 ton step side truck.

What town's that greasy truck stop in? I've probably ate there. Been in most of the old ones in MS.

Is that German on the gas can?

Sillyoldman · 09-21-2008, 01:24 AM

Looks like an old forestery truck from when I was a kid. It looks like an 8 lug 3/4 ton.

Looks like it; but I couldn't tell you what it means " Treibstoff Feuergefahrlich"
So just punched it into the Google translation site it says "fuel fire danger"...
that makes sense.
