Now all I have to do is get it home and get rid of all the tires in the bed and the ones on the truck for that matter. This truck is complete with a 261 six SM420 transmission and a 2spd rear-end pretty much the same truck as my 56 with a little longer wheel base. Not sure what to do with it yet guess I’ll figure that out after getting it home and cleaning it up a bit. Well just wanted to share it with the guys going to hit the hay now good night all.  | | | | | Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 394 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 394 | just add it to the collection, you can find a use for it later | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,987 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,987 | Originally posted by dakota:

Basically, what it is, you add up the cylinders on all the internal combustion engines you own (including lawn mowers, weed eaters, Bolts, etc.--everything). The higher the number, the greater your self worth, i.e. your manhood!! It originated on a Minneapolis/St. Paul radio station.

Wow had never thought about how many pistons and rods where flying around here. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 100 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 100 | Originally posted by Rich'sToys: It used to be explained on here somewhere; not sure if it is anymore.

I just got a 57 6500 out of Walla Walla with an 18' dump bed. Not quite the dumptruck like your but I think it will work perfect. Tri5 | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,276 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,276 | Right on Tri5 I should be going to retrieve the 57 Sunday well tomorrow with any luck.
The 64 is getting new wheels and shoes on Wednesday Accuride 22.5s P/N 28160 and a set of the same that I put on the 56 for tires. Almost 3 grand but with the old 8 1/4 20s I was having a flat repair at least one a week plus I will gain 2" in dia. that will help with the top end speed a little.
I have picked up the 496 stoker motor for the 56 that should be quite the motor. The 56 has a long was to go but it's coming along. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 720 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 720 | More toys? Dang, must be nice to have a place with room to expand! :p
I was wishin I had the bones to pickup the 2ton '56 flatbed here in town, but 2500 to get some parts for my dump is a bit steep for me.
1956 GMC 370 dump " 'Tater "1970 VW Volksrod "the Black Bomber" 2007 Chevy Avalanche 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, 2005 Harley Davidson FLHTCUI I dig all cars, old and new, whether they were hammered out of American iron, German steel, or Japanese tin cans. Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just MY opinion! :P
