Mearl, my Dad ran a number of 409 powered C-80's during the 60's until the mid 70's. The first load I ever made on a tractor-trailer was with a 1962 Chevy C-80, so I have fond memories of this style of truck. Our trucks were painted a medium blue with a white top. We ran both single axle and tandem axle tractors back then with a 409, 5 spd. and a 2 spd. rear. I have numerous pictures of our old trucks posted in my webshot album, link is below my name.
Looking forward to seeing some pictures of yours in the future!
James
