From Matt :

          In early July I purchased this 1957 Chevy 6500 dump with the factory V8 283. It runs and drives very well. This makes the first bolt I have with a dump which I've really wanted.

          The Task Force Chevy truck came from Walla Walla, Washington and was used to haul onions and spinach. The vents are full of spinach leaves.

          The truck runs and dumps great. It was repainted the green color 20 years ago but has stayed in good shape in dry Eastern Washington.

          I don't know what kind of bed this truck has. I don't see any markings. It has a Chelsea PTO and a single ram that raises the bed great.

          I'm dying to play more with it but my Fire Academy is taking all my time. It will be there when I'm done. I am looking forward to hauling some loads with it. I have been wanting a dump for a long time and this one will suit me fine. It also completes the "tri5 6500 trucks" for my favorite three years.

          I thought it looked like the big brother to my 1957 3100.  Here are some more photos in my picture shoe box.

Thanks and have a great summer,

Matt
