70 Ford cabover firetruck.
I have always liked the way these look for making a car hauler.
less than $1600 and reserve is met... runs and drives. Zebulon Georgia.
2 hours to go on the auction.

Up to 2700 and some change.

I agree.

There are a lot of old farm trucks that sell for next to nothing, because everyone wants a pick up.

They are really heavy duty. The biggest down side is the rear axle. Usually geared way too high. My 49 Studebaker has a 6.66 rear screw. But you can find dually rear axles pretty darn cheap.

That's an understatement. I have taken at least a dozen 4.10 14 bolt full floaters to the scrap yard.

I put 3 on FB last year just to see if someone would bite and got $300 for the set.
