66 c-10 radio in the scrap ascross scales
So I am at work today and I am pushing a huge pile of loose scrap and tin with a huge loader with a monster bucket..... all of a sudden something catches my eye in this huge pile of metal. I climb down 6 steps off my loader and yep it is a radio with custom knobs. The radio is in poor shape but has really nice chrome knobs and a pretty nice face plate. I figure I might use something out of it for parts when I send mine off to be fixed, plus I get the knobs..... All for free !!!!

Incredible! What are the chances it's going to be on the side of the pile you can see, let alone notice it. Great save.

I watch for things explosive like propane tanks so they dont go into the baler.... never thought I would notice a radio in a pile this large. more amazing is someone threw it away knobs and all I am only 1 scrap yard, think of the thousands out there and the stuff that doesnt get saved

Re: 66 c-10 radio in the scrap ascross scales
Here is what I know about the VAN. there were 3 different models Panel, Window and contractor. The contractors os the cool one to me the drivers side is panel and the pass side is window. The engine come out from the bottom. If it needs King pin Bushings you might have trouble finding someone to replace them. [but that is not a deal killer] There are disc brake kits for the front. you can get a dropped axle for the front if you want. It would be best to get one from Pete & Jakes they can make it to the width you need then weld you the holes for the batwings and install your leaf springs. There is a company named Steer Clear they build a cool box. The steering make a 90 great for some thing like this. I have been looking at the Astro Van steering box it also make a 90. Two different wheel bases. Don't remember the lenght off the top of my head. I have had 3 of them
