i am about to buy my first bigbolt truck......either the one in my sig, or a guy at works....

the one from the guy i work with is the same but a 60 series, has a 327, a 2spd rear end, dumping flatbed and says it runs and looks pretty good......and its half the price.

the other one is a 4spd 292 non dumping flat bed and a 50 series. and in really good shape but needs paint and has been sitting since 1974

i figure even if i have to put 5 or 6 hundred buck into the C60 i would still be ahead......and have a dumping flatbed

how will a 327 pull compared to a 292?

2spd is it worth it? i will restore the truck and use it to haul hay and just drive to school everyonce in a while.

the C60 can be driven home he says......

the C50 runs......

any thoughts??
