Chuck P Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I drove that same year truck because I remember the dual headlights which didn't last long. It was a C600 with the smallest V8 and electric 2 speed axle. I hauled many acres of soy beans in that truck for a local farmer as a kid. The farmer always stressed to check the oil in every truck you drive. A small trap door on the doghouse revealed the dipstick and water filler neck. Good times! 1 Quote "If it's all the sime to you... I'll droyve that tankah" Max Rockatansky (The Road Warrior) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85snowdog Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Thats a good pic. That septic tank may still be serving its purpose......... sadly the 2 trucks are probably serving a different purpose. Turned into pop cans and razor blades. Quote Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Local fellow in my truck club has similar coe. He owned a sod business and used it for decades. Still looks like new, though he and the truck are retired and only taken to shows now. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

steve s. Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I like the International with the backhoe . That must have been a fairly popular idea in the fifties, I have a similar setup on a Dodge chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must have been a fairly popular idea in the fifties, I have a similar setup on a Dodge chassis. Well from my "youth" I remember it was dig it by hand or in my area Shield Bantam back hoes mounted on army surplus 6 x 6's were popular. Then you started seeing Ford 8ns with I believe Sherman back hoes. Had an uncle who was a plumber and he had a Deere (green one) with a backhoe- no clue what brand the hoe was.
