Thanks Tony It's a good truck. Driven some 85,000 miles since I finished it in 1990. Here's me, downtown Manhattan at about midnight, early November, 2001:
My old girl, original '65 F250 4X4, non original 390, solid cam, headers, Holley SD single plane. I miss driving it. My son still stomps on it for me once in awhile.
Here's mine. I've since ditched the 37 inch goodyears and added 40 inch swampers. Dana 60 front, Dana 70 rear. 350, Turbo 400, dana 20. Tubbed, Samurai back seat, Cobra Mustang Front seats and the great IH body and boxed frame. Soon I'm ditching the 350 and bolting in a 4bt Cummins turbo Diesel.
Nice trucks, folks! Here's a nice, custom 1/2 ton WC: http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/pix/trucks/shelton/2004/show/dsc_6592.jpg And here are my forlorn examples:

Those units on the left looked like trailers with windows cut out in the front for a cab. The company was Interstate Dress Carriers and hauled dresses from the factories in North Eastern PA to the NY Garment district. I think they had racks in the back and transported the dresses on hangers. Growing up I saw these vehicles on a daily basis. Somebody out there have more photos? Know who made them? What kind of powerplant?
Not an old one but I just got done building this GMC 6500 for a friend. Grafted 2 dually beds together and moved the fenders down.
Here's a pic of my 56 GMC 300,would like to put a cummins 6bt in it with some later model axles some day.
