That's what I was thinking. Anything that would rock that thing I'd think would lay it on it's side. pretty sketchy for off road

**special-K** · 12-08-2016, 07:56 AM

I really like what I see here. I see an old Chevy truck in a foreign country someone is taking pride in fixing up and using the heck out of

overhaulin · 12-09-2016, 12:51 PM

Great thread and some awesome looking trucks.

I stumbled onto this old hot rod this past Fall. It needs some work, but I think we can bring it back to life with a little elbow.

I'd really like to put a 6V53T in it... love those Detroit's.

Looks like a '68 or '69.

Is it a 5500 or a 6500?

Tell us more about what Engine and Trans you have in there now.

overhaulin · 12-10-2016, 08:04 AM

You're right on the money... 1969 C5500 cable/wire truck. The truck has 292 Chevy with 60K miles on it and 4 speed trans. Not sure which transmission it is yet... maybe a New Process. It also has a PTO driven winch (15K lb.) behind the cab and headache cage with an open PTO driveshaft and the very end of the truck to drive something? Maybe a margarita mixer?

.

It's tough finding much info and parts on this truck but I knew that before I bought it. I am gluten for punishment and a challenge and I really like these old trucks

Thanks for asking.

overhaulin · 12-10-2016, 09:35 AM

Glutton not Gluten you big dummy.

Thanks RKN,

I read your thread on you extended bed rig... that was awesome but after reading all the work you did, I was tired needed a nap... that's a lot of work. The truck looks great. Do have any current pics or updates?

**special-K** · 12-11-2016, 07:23 PM

overhaulin · 12-11-2016, 08:14 PM

Sweet! What engine?

**special-K** · 12-12-2016, 08:54 AM

I like it too! I have no idea what engine, but with no big block hood vents I'm going to guess Toroflow?

**special-K** · 12-19-2016, 10:46 AM

Neat little dmp truck here that was for sale

overhaulin · 12-19-2016, 11:52 AM

Sweet!! I almost bought one this past Fall out of an estate sale. It was a 9500 with a 6-71 and I think the GVW was like 33K. I really liked it except for those scary two piece wheels.

C10 - C90 Bill · 12-19-2016, 03:58 PM

Nice looking truck.

Nothing wrong with Spoke Wheels.

We just had a conversation about them recently, lol.

overhaulin · 12-19-2016, 10:34 PM

I like the spoke but I've always heard their a little scary to change.

I found a pic of the DT I mentioned earlier. I wish I would have bought it... oh well. I am not sure who, but it looks like someone bedazzled the frontend... it made us laugh either way.

**special-K** · 12-20-2016, 12:55 PM

That's a nice one, too. Don't laugh! Reflectors are a vital part of safe night operation of motor vehicles and should be taken very seriously

overhaulin · 12-20-2016, 04:07 PM

I let the owner know I was on my way out to buy it and that's when he let me know he just sold it to a guy $1200.00.

C10 - C90 Bill · 12-20-2016, 07:09 PM

Someone got a great deal.

I would had bought it in a heartbeat.

overhaulin · 12-20-2016, 07:57 PM

Yea it was purchased at an estate auction and the buyer had to move it off the property within 30 days. I was just a too late.

**special-K** · 12-28-2016, 08:22 AM

Not sure is this one or a few others have been shown that I have. But here's this one... Custom Cab:

junkmandan3 · 12-29-2016, 12:31 PM

Overhaulin'........Come on over to Northfield and I'll show you how to handle those Dayton wheel changes. Just want to help you alleviate your fears, And while here, I can show you my 1970 MH 90 Chivvy, my '77 GMC 9500 , and could ride to Kent to see another GMC 9500 .

**special-K** · 12-31-2016, 03:03 PM

Sounds like a good day. This thread is hard to add to. A local dairy that started up 10 or so years ago that delivers or you buy from the store at the dairy... just like the old days. I think I remember they used this at first. They have it sitting out by the road now as a sign

70c10-08 · 01-04-2017, 01:42 PM

Here's one I found on Facebook that's supposedly from Janesville around 1971

C10 - C90 Bill · 01-04-2017, 01:46 PM

Cool picture.

Wouldn't have minded a job like that at all.

70c10-08 · 01-04-2017, 01:51 PM

Here's some more I found on Facebook
