Incase the ad comes down. Here is the photo.

And that cab would make it a C600.

It was forsale a year ago for $1300 if I remember correctly. I had a friend buy a f800 56 from the same location where this was at and he said it was really rough! Probably a new owner now

I consider myself lucky it's far away. Drooling.

I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Pity there's a bit of a pond between us!

Saw that truck in person3 years ago while visiting upstate New York camping, owner wasn't interested in selling it at the time, called me 6 months later wanted $1700 bucks for it...it was too far to tow in that condition for me...cool truck tho...lots of work to bring it back from the rust..looks like the buyer...realized it after they got it home too...

It looks to be the same shape as my Coes when I got them. The Alantic ocean salt does its damage. I don't have the time or room for it. If I do build another Coe after these it will be a Chevy so I can get rid of some of my junk.
