Man, that sucker is rough. Thanks for the post.Bob

[tjc transport]

Yup. Looks like it was rode hard and put away wet every day of its life.

But for such a rarely seen truck, it survived 

[h67st]

Is it $5k for the truck, or $5k for the rust?

[mechohaulic]

what a shame , such a great unusual piece going to junk. of course back in the day when  it was fairly new i had other words for the C besides unusual when one was on my work ticket. how times change.

Probably posted this before but when I was very young. Law  transportation had all kinds of them running around my hometown.mainly straight jobs delivering great memories.. Bob

[Vladislav]

Anybody toss a couple of pics from the ad please. I'm not going to get rid of 5K but would like to see the bucket. Facebook is banned in my neck of the woods.

[tjc transport]

no problem Vlad. here ya go:

1964 Mack C-600 Mack motor and twin stick trans. Cab is rough. Come check it out and make offer.

It would probably be worth more to somebody just for the driveline .. Bob

[tjc transport]

i have seen....and fixed a lot worse rust on cabs. 

but what scares me with that one is the severe rot around the passenger side windshield/roofline. looks like there is close to 1 inch missing in a few spots.

and then over the driver side door, it looks like there is a lot missing there too.

[mowerman]

Oooooooop ya I didn’t even notice that . But I understand with a sheet metal brake and lotsa time who knows …markers are all shot…. Not much there to work with …  a bunch of young kids to learn the business body shop class …Bob 

[mowerman]

I’m thinking $$ 1500 would probably be more appealing… Bob

[mowerman]

Well, Monday morning, back to the old grind…. Bob

Uggh... I even couldn't imagine such state of things. Definitely wouldn't come check it out if even have US visa open at the moment.

Thanks for sharing. I like C-models and tandems especially. The chassis looks solid judging by the pics. The truck may be fixed or restored but it seems better to use another cab than weld patches here and there in the existing one.

I wish my B61 had those hinged front fenders.

I was just thinking that last week when I was working on the turbo downpipe.... stretched across that damn fender with my foot pushed against the garage wall holding myself up.

Luckily the stall is just barely wider then the truck so I can use it to prop myself up.  You have to be a skinny ass to get around the truck while parked inside.

This is the C Model that Mike Harbison bought near me and asked me to pick up and store for him many years ago.  It did eventually make it to Morning Sun and is still there today.

 

[skydawg]

Does anybody know what`ll happen to Mike`s trucks?

His son, Mikey, is and has been looking out for them. I believe they will be in good hands and safe for, probably, the next generation to enjoy.
