i need to find a truck in ny like one of these to go with my 1160

Those poor ol C70's probably couldn't do any more than 45-50 MPH on the flat on a calm day pulling those combines. The wind resistance is terrible. Jim

A tandem axle that size would be nice I am looking for one. One thing I learned already is that too small of a truck along with the elevator being nearly an hour round trip can slow down the cutting quite a bit. Be nice to haul in a good 500 bushels at a time.

I would love to find one of those trailers!

cousin had one, had the 366 overhauled and hopped up a little, took off the noise abatement mufflers and dumped glass pacs under the cab, she would run 75 MHP empty

yes but the hydraulic brakes on those beasts are not much when loaded

The guy that used to custom combine for me had a mid 70's Chev similar to that. It featured a 427 in front of a 13 speed. Every load we hauled was to the top of the boards and she would walk along pretty nice. Yes it was on air brakes. He also had a mate to this truck with juice brakes that I wouldn't drive loaded or empty.

Friend of mine has a 427 two stick, 5 and 4 and air brakes.

I have wondered how well the fluid breaks worked on them. My single axle has to get break work before it goes on the road again. Even a nice single axle with 16ft bed would be nice so I could fill both trucks and also have an extra. Also it is not a very good experience when the hoist fails at the eleveator with a line waiting behind..... Yes I have had the pleasure. The 53 Chevy is no longer in my little fleet.

look to the mid/southern midwest. Plenty around and in good body shape.
