Well, I finally did it. I bought this 1954 5700 COE . I've been looking for a cab over for quite a while now. I really like the '54-'55 1st trucks so it had to be one of those two years. The journey to get it yesterday was......well, a real journey. I dropped the kids off at school and hit the road at 7:30 am. Drove from Rapid City to Cody Wyoming and loaded the truck about 2:30 pm. Left Cody at 3:00 pm and beat cheeks for home. By the way, the winch I had recently purchased was worth it's weight in gold. Less than a minute to load! Probably the fastest and farthest this truck has gone in a day.

We had predictions of a massive winter storm coming so I drove straight through. 830 miles later I was home about 10:15. Boy does this truck look big sitting on my trailer . It's in really good condition with the exception of the cab corners, no other rust I can find. I'm the second owner and this truck was retired about four years ago when the rancher retired. He used it as, get this, a manure spreader. It had a very large turd whirler mounted on the back. The only real damage is an extension to the frame, no big deal and a punch in the nose which bent the grill down about two inches. Just hit the center verticle piece, nothing else. I'll get more pictures when it quits snowing. grin grin
