This is a better angle of B cab, top of cab is not as round plus there is a seam line on the sides of cab
where the stacks mount, that's the easy give away-B cab is 3" longer.

that's a great price on the 8ll.

On the pictures of a c500:

Mine isn't near as nice as Chopper95's and it sure isn't as clean as truckshop's wrecker. But here's a picture.

I purchased 2 C500 trucks in 1985, both had A model cabs, also both were built in Quebec.

both had A model cabs,

Interesting!

Funny thing is there was never a A cab till the B cab was built. A friend has a 1983 500 with a B cab.
Wonder if the A cabs were used till supply ended or both were offered as options.

I just put a 3406E model in my 67 Hayes. I put a 18 speed behind it with the original 4 speed(can’t think off hand what the number is). We pull are lowbed with it. It’s nice when in the bush we put the A box in second and in the highway we put it in 3rd still haven’t gotten a long enough straight stretch to get her maxed out yet

How bad was it to do the wiring?

Here are my three beaters.
Twin steer- IDK what I'm going to do with it.

Black & Orange- runs & works once a month as a yard hand for 10 minutes.

Black- high priced art.

Love the pictures of all these trucks and the education on them.
Haulback you have a NICE collection of them.

Thank you guys.

Man oh man I’d like to have a C500 service truck

I think the Black and Orange truck would work perfect as my new dump truck.

That's why it's painted those colors.

$28k & it's yours

I was going to make a line truck out of it.

That orange and black looks like it has a Van Raden drop axle.

Interesting, I coincidentally put my Western Star up for sale a week ago and have someone potentially coming today to look at it.

Surprisingly it's a Skagit.
I'd never seen one before but it's supposed to be a 30k axle?

Truck Stop,

Not bashing by any means, but I’m a weirdo who takes door tag photos and here are the ones for my 84 and the 83 steel hood.

Definitely A model cabs though like you said. I photographed an 86 dump that’s basically identical to mine last year and it was even labeled a C500A on the door tag despite being an 86

I was always curious when the A cut off was or whatever because it never made sense to me when looking at various trucks in person.

Hallback,

Is that the Carey Creek truck? (Black and Orange) The one that came down from Alaska and the McPaul Crane truck was the sister truck to it?

What are the specs on it?
