That body looks kinda nice. I'd think whoever put it on that truck must have figured the truck was in good enough shape to do it.  The more I look at it, it looks to be in way more than fair shape.  I'd imagine some parts will be a challenge to locate. There wasn't a real lot of those even when they made them compared to CHs or CLs .

The picture that is straight onto the front. What is wrong with the drivers side steer wheel? lt looks to be up and back as thou it has been hit.    .....Hippy 

Looks like someone has a brick or something in front of the tire, like a wheel chock.   That old girl don't look too bad.

This is an interesting truck. I don't ever remember seeing a floor raised in the cab like that either.

In 70 when I worked for the predecessor of Matlack hauling petroleum nights, from Syracuse NY to the St Lawrence River Valley, with tag axle White coupe cab with a 220 and 10 speed, I had to chain up several times to get from the main road into the distributor and back out of his tank farm. Also learned to leave an S curve in the discharge hose so when I was still half loaded I could move the drives out of the ice pockets made by the warm tires!!!! 

(lol)  I had to read that several times before I understood what you meant.  Now I get it.... pretty clever .

something on that truck looks "off" .

almost looks like front axle tires are smaller than rear axle. 

They're Budds on that, maybe why they look different.

Mech,

Those big dump bodys are for soft coal, which is fairly light, not to mention those "West By God" coal truckers never knew what weight regulations were!!!

List "coal" as a hauled commodity on your liability insurance being based in Pennsylvania, then see what it does for your premiums .  It takes a sharp insurance agent to word it correctly if you just haul some prepared anthracite.  I'm told it's because of the soft coal guys. 

I got a nice CH once over this issue. 

Someone already tried a repair on the bottom flange between the tandems.  Like said earlier, fairly common place for a problem on one of those. Truck has potential, definetely worth making some kind of repair to.

Mark,  the google security certificate expired on 12- 31 or 1-1.

and it took a while for it to renew. 

i could not log on with either the laptop, or desktop, phone only. and it was a royal pain to do it on the phone too. 

I figured something.  (and here I thought it was from me lloking at too much smut)

IDK what happened, I was locked out a couple days.  But ty for the response.  I never knew something like that existed.  Maybe why I never maimed myself with one. 

At the risk of sounding dumb, what's that one that doesn't have a regular bar for ?  I've never seen a saw like that.

Harbor Freight always asks if you'd like to buy the extended coverage..... they should offer some kinda insurance for when you get hurt using their junk. 

I don't think that truck looks too bad. Someone may get a good deal on it.

Duramax was a joint venture between GM and Isuzu. Those guys been using 90 degree V8s a while.

V8 seem more popular there than they ever were here. Some of those trucks sounded like mini E9s! or at least 7.3 powerstrokes. 

Ever wonder where the  Duramax ideas came from ?
