Popular Post thomastractorsvc Posted October 30, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2016 Its been a couple years since I was planning on buying this old dog. Finally made the long drive to go get her. I posted up on FB under steel dash Macks last week the trip going to get it. Everything seems to work good I pulled my lowboy yesterday around the yard to make room for my camper. She does need some TLC and some love but nothing like I have had to do in the past to other trucks. 16 Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk His phone died and he lost my number in it, he said he found my cell on a piece of paper and he called me couple weeks ago and said he was still interested in selling and asked if I still wanted it. I told I sure was and about a week later went and picked it up before he lost my number again. 1 2 Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Maddog13407 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) nice find. they seem to be turning up more and more lately, I guess they all haven't been exported..... I see it has the hens teeth passenger side B model fuel tank on it also Edited October 31, 2016 by Maddog13407 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomastractorsvc Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 I think that was an add on after the fact. I think it had square tanks as the passenger side was used as a hydraulic tank and the B model tank is to far back and is awkward to get in and out. I am surprised its been on there so long as you just about fall out of the truck. Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Brocky Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Nice Find!!!! Looks very clean and complete.. Do you like your Bradford body on the truck??? I wish mine had more stake pockets rather than the flip sides.. Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Neat little truck! Oh, maybe I'm wrong. It starts being not so little when you intitiate works to make it up I suppose you better put front brakes on if runs with no trailer are planned in the future. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack58B42 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Looks to be in pretty good shape for a '67. Were they still using that style hubcap on the front in that year, or did they just migrate over from B-model on this rig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I remember reading on here at one time the early R's used the same front axle as a B. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57 bcr Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Looks good! That bumper tells me it was employed in the oil patch at one time. Maybe not. Looks to be solid. Nice find.

kscarbel2 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 The cowl-mounted rectangular rubber hood rest in the photo above, we sourced from Ford. They were stamped Fomoco. It was borrowed from the N-model, which shared it with the Ford C-Series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rear cab mounts, at least on the early ones (what the rear of the cab sat on). The Mack N and Ford C had the same rear cab mounting arrangement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you like your Bradford body on the truck??? I wish mine had more stake pockets rather than the flip sides.. Yes I like the bed and the looks and no on the quality when I bought it in 06 the powder coating started flaking of by 2011 they finally agreed to re-powder coat it if I paid $500 for sand blasting guess what they half asses it and never sandblasted the bottom so it is rusting out from the inside out. I am not hard on the truck or bed, its a 2006 3500 4x4 and I just have 107K on the truck and its like new inside and out except for the rusting on the underside of the bed. I am thinking about buying a new chevy quadcab 3500 4x4 cab & chassis and I have decided to buy another Bradford bed but it will be the aluminum version. I am up in the air on the new truck as the service manager for the truck shop at the Chevy dealer I go to told me that they are having a lot of issues with the emissions on the new ones. But the dealer called me and said they have a 2016 3500 4x4 quadcab for $42K plus I have some cash on my GM card so should be below $40K out the door will see stopping by tomorrow to look the truck over.

The guy I bought from bought it from the original owner. 1 Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfymn Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 FYI; Chevy is introducing a brand new Duramax in January. My SWAG is any left overs will be reduced even more. OBTW my 2011 Dmax has had several issues with the DEF system. Overall I like the truck, but it has frustrated me on several occasions with emissions issues that require a trip to the dealer for a one to two day stay. I'm pretty sure a 2017 Ford F-350 is my next choice. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

Brocky Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) Thomas thanks for your answer. In 2014 I swapped my F-250 6.0 Power Stroke for a 6.7 Cummins which came wrapped in a Dodge Ram.. 4X2 quad cab C&C with the Bradford body with side tool boxes already mounted on it, plus a 60 gal aux tank. This is how it was set up on the dealers lot for $49k. My first, and hopefully my last dually and flat bed as I am 71 Y/O. Basically I love the truck, but if I had started from scratch I probably would go with a C/M body with stake pockets or rub rails for more tie down areas and build my own taller sides. Also those tool boxes lack about 1-2 inches of height for a gallon jug of Rotella to stand up.
