Memories for us old truckers

[Bumpsteer]

Recently sold near me 66 Dodge L600, 4 & 2 with I'm guessing a 413.

Sweet old truck, but I'm not the one who has to drive it.....lol.

The 1974 yellow c500 with the 6-71 that I posted up about- for sale for 10,500? Its evidently been sold and is now for sale again, for $14,500. I imagine someone wasn't so ready to love the 6-71.

But a $4,000 price increase in a week for a '74 dump truck- is sort of high inflation.

I was having trouble posting yesterday. There was a guy down to Kansas city that had some trucks and stuff on display in a fenced in area that had some of those Dodge L 600 . Its something to see a body that started off to be something else and ended up as something totally different.

Did get closer, was asked to not open doors or hoods as latches and hinges are weak


Was told Cummins where oil pan confirmed, either 4x4 or 4x3, definitely a top loader diff

I made a tow this morning of the wrecked tractor {12-15-21} to a body/frame shop, took all this time
for insurance to give a go ahead. Also spent part of this week stripping out three tractors that are going
on the chopping block, probably strip three more next week. Can't find drivers, making nothing setting
fence rowed. After several discussions with the owner of what to let go, he decided to down size to
roughly 51 tractors. Life in 2022 and the future.

In case anybody's looking for parts...

Wisconsin auction link to a trailer made from a solid rubber tire truck rear end, interesting differential, if it's even a differential there.

There is also a ring gear at each wheel, can't remember who made that. I'll have to look.

You dont remember from the last one you worked on? I know they did this on tractors but they were higher up from the ground and you cant farm mud very good it wouldnt have been good in the mud.

I looked agin i thought the gears were out next to the rims.
