That is a beauty. I keep an old dump truck on the farm just for dirt/rocks/shale/etc. It would be nice to have enough use for it to have a nice one. I've rebuilt the carb, ignition, tranny, two speed shifter, and fixed up the box, but the old engine sure is tired. And, like any older vehicle here in the northeast, it's a rust bucket.
 
Funny I have a simaular model to both of those trucks. GM livestock truck , a 1976. And a 1989 f800 . Neither of my trucks are looking their age. . Both also have juice brakes , and parts are getting to be a pain to find.

Township road commissioner I worked for about 1973,&'74 got a brand new '74 C-65 like that, but the dump box was a couple inches higher and maybe a foot longer. And our C-65 had Dayton wheels. 366 and 5+2 transmissions. I spent most of the summer cold patching roads out of that Thing! Used to get patch about 20 miles from town, then had to go about 50 miles when first place stopped making cold patch. Then one day the Boss found out I could get patch about 12-13 miles away. The fun days were hauling crushed rock or road chips from the quarry. Truck had just big enough gas tanks to run 7-8 trips which was all the longer the quarry was open. Couple years later the new Road commissioner bought a C-70 tandem dump with 427 and 5?2.
