This ol’ truck started out in Bristol Virginia/Tennessee, appears to have hauled asphalt for a while, made its way to Raleigh, North Carolina for a spell and now resides in Fredericksburg, Virginia for a time yet to be determined.
It’s the 327 rendition and everything has been working fine with under 100k original miles as the story goes.
I’ve hauled firewood, dirt, compost and wood chips and have a driveway project for it next, as soon as I a sure the brake hydro booster is plumbed as it should be for maximum longevity.
I dressed it up for the Christmas Parade last year and folks loved it.
I bought it some new shoes and found a man here in King George County (VA) who would put them on the old split rims. It’s sporting a nice paint job on both the cab and dump box.
Compared to the new dump trucks on the road it looks like a toy but that’s how things were hauled 60 years ago. It’s a Beaut!
