59 Chevrolet Spartan


BC Mack

Recommended Posts

This was on display at a local new HD truck convention.... APNA at Tradex, Abbotsford BC

I talked with the owner, Glen Morrow, for some time as I noticed it had bus parts installed, he explained the evolution of design that took place and that he is now down to just a few small issues to finish. It is a working truck and he specialises in moving antique and expensive vehicles rather than general street work.

Engine is a Cummins diesel, Allison 5 speed auto trans, Telma driveline retarder out of a Prevost coach and a two speed rear axle on 22.5 6 stud rims.

Did JT just started drooling...??

the International was the only other vintage truck I saw there.... too many tricked out Peterbilt's with enough lamps to light a small town, obviously I took no photos of them.

Yes, as soon as I opened the thread up I looked at the pictures and went "that's a sweet rig" - Then I read what you put and started to laugh. I found this 59 Diamond T Rollback on Craigslist yesterday. I spoke with the seller in Macungie as well and then came across his ad while doing my daily CL search for crap to buy. I hope to get up there to see it this weekend.
