1972 C600

I will only consider making a reasonable offer on this vehicle after I can find more information about. Things like where can I find manuals, etc. If anyone can lead me in the right directions it would really be appreciated. Thanks in advance and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

That appears to have started life as a beverage truck, such as beer, Pepsi, Coke, or such.

20,000 miles, right. If so, why a 391 and not the original 330?

Front wheels look like widowmakers.

These are good trucks. Nothing is reproduced for them, so glass and weather strip are hard to find, along with cab sheetmetal.

If it starts, runs smooth, shifts, the axle shifts and it stops--well, if you need a truck, it might fill that need.

Manuals can be purchased through:

Brake drums are not available new. All other brake items can be found via NAPA and other suppliers.
