Truck looks like a White 3000. Looks in good shape?
My father had one in the early '70s as a fuel truck. 6 cyl White gas engine , 5spd, dbl reduction rear diff, if I recall correctly. Slow, but seemed like a good truck at the time, gear changes took some getting used to.
Trailer and other vehicles interesting also.

Saw this on the way home tonight:
View attachment 242066

400hp 8v92, 9 speed, spring ride. A bunch of shiny new parts underneath on brakes and suspension. Someone spent a bunch of time fixing brakes and suspension to find out they didn't like the ride.

Not to be a a-- but trucks ride ruff i hear guys saying their air ride cab on are ride axles setting in a $900.00 seat rides ruff. Get in a truck with rubber blocks and a broken spring ride seat . My c70 isnt the smoothest it didnt come out with front shocks. My 1985 GMC pickup is very ruff someone over did the rear springs it has 2 main leafs its next to solid. If i had time i would redo the springs and make a real set of over loads for it or air bags.
