Thanks everyone, your comments are much appreciated.

I don’t know too much about this trucks history. I bought it from the Mecum Fall Farming Auction and it had come down from Wisconsin.

The original paint color was Omaha Orange and believe this cab and chassis was fitted with the Daybrook 33 Twin Hoist & C-6 Dump Body (2YD) when new. This combo leads me to believe it started life in Municipal Fleet Service.

Will drop an intro on the Southern Bolters Forum and plan to start a thread on the Project Journals forum to document this journey.
