Chevy heavy

It's getting to be the time of year when each straight truck assumes its usual duties. The 35 holds dry firewood and does daily alfalfa feeding to
check cows in the pastures, the 54 is backless for firewood hauling and fencerow cleanup, the 55 stays a flatbed for hauling skid steer tools to
the pastures, the 58 is used as a feed truck for ground feed, and the 74 is a fertilizer tender. Just when I think there are plenty of straight trucks
I run one short and need to get another. Good thing they are durable - there's not time for a breakdown!

Wow!!!! What an accumulation of Chevrolet's. Not so sure I would keep them all working, but, it is a testament to their durability and your preventive maintenance. gobble

Nice Trucks.
Built when trucks were trucks.

My chevy's can still work hard when needed.

Here is one from the farm next door. Not as well loved as yours.

I grew up driving a 51 chevy around my uncles farm before I was legally old enough to drive. His was dark green and had a dump grain bed on it also used for hauling cattle.

nice trucks!!!!

TGP, what year is that Chevy? I felt like a king when at age 16 the guy that I worked for got one like it. It was a much better ride than the '48 Ford that he had before it.

All nice looking trucks but that 1935 is to die for.

Yes the 35 is to die for. I am working on a 34 dodge and have it on the road in about a year.

hydraulic dump. came from Colorado according to the owner.

JerryS · Dec 15, 2017

Wow! Someone who knows how to use "it's" and "its" correctly!

I like the trucks, especially the '35. Its body styling is very, very similar to the International of the same era. I had one once upon a time, but I didn't have the time, money, knowledge or work space to restore it, and I had to let it go.

She was newer than most here but the guy that would custom combine for me had a C-70 with a 22ft rack and hoist, 427 and a 13spd. Former volunteer fire tanker, still had a siren in it. I loved to drive that truck.
Nice trucks on here, thanks for posting!

oldsarge · Dec 15, 2017

37chief · Dec 15, 2017

My 54 doing it's job now, no more hay to haul. Stan

37chief · Dec 15, 2017

That's a nice 54, wish mine looked like that. Stan

Thanks.
It's 1964 CM 80, I bought in 1968.
It was specked out with all available options at the time.
409CI,5 Speed Clark, Spicer 3 speed Aux. 34,000LBS Eaton Rears,(twin screw) 11,000LBS., front Axle, Power Steering
I think the 4 speed Aux. came out later in 64.
Air operated Radiator Shutters,

Top of the line Perfection Bed and Double cylinder,4 hinge host.
Not many Chevy's from that period with that frame as seen in picture.

It currently has a 74 Goodwrench 427 in it from a wrecked 74 C65, in 1989
Direct bolt in.
Picture was my 74 that was wrecked.

Young Driver not paying attention Couldn't stop and put it in a
Ditch Loaded and rolled it over avoiding a rear end collision.

Here's my '47. It has a '68 307 V8 in it. It's basically a big boy's toy, but it can still work when I ask it to.

Trucks like in the OP show the difference between the rust belt and the rest of the nation. You'd never see working trucks like that in northern NY.
