    Man that thing is Cool!

    But it sure looks like those moccasin are warn thin. Typical gravel truck, run em till they fall off the truck!

    Are you gonna use it for it's intended purpose? Or build a deck onto it?



    That's what I was thinking, give the externals a quick spray to match the shinny paint on the front half. Endura works good for that kinda stuff.

  3. Don't think for a second that I hate you any less.

    You still suck!

    The best part about this, he bought it to use. He has some property up north that my parents are working on developing. There is already a 110 Link Belt sitting up ready to load this thing. He bought it a couple years ago, but what good is an excavator with no dump truck...?
    I think he plans to leave it for now, but one day maybe fix it up real nice. He might put stacks on it right now. It's just got old cherry bomb wheat burners on it now.

    The wife just walked by while I looking the pics of your truck, she said I like the way he painted the wheels to match the body. I'm LMAO, some days.
     
  9. LOVE IT! That is awesome!
     


  10. I just found out it is a M/H...has a tag on the front axle. This would be the last year for that.

    I may be wrong, but I think that is a 60 grill.

    Those mismatched front treads might not be D.O.T. friendly and might suck for steering that thing if you are loaded heavy and traveling at speed. If you plan on doing off property hauling with that truck might want to give em a call and make sure you are legal before you start working the old brute. with that said, that is a really cool truck.
     


  17. You are wrong. 60's are totally different.

    Sweet! I love stuff like that. Old utility vehicles are just awesome to look at, and I'm sure even cooler to drive!

    Damn, I love that truck. Never would have thought about a 58 Ford truck before seeing that one... It would be a blast to have on the farm and be useful as well.
