1942 C-60S for sale in BC
 

Hi everyone, first post from me. I'm looking to sell this truck because I have no time/money/skill/patience to fix it up properly. It has been considerably modified (extended cab,wooden box, non-original motor), but is in very good condition. It has a pretty cool leather diamond tuft interior, fairly new paint and wooden box. Will add pics soon.

Serial #?
 

Forgive me for asking but do you still have the build plate please? I am always afyer serial/engine #/contract/date details for my database.

How's your part of BC these days?

alternate site?
 

Apparently there isn't anyone interested in buying my truck on this site. Can anyone suggest an alternate site to post an ad on. I'm looking to sell for around 7000. Is this a reasonable amount given the extent of modifications.

Re: alternate site?
 

Shaun..
You can ask what you want for the truck but a fully restored to original C-60 L was advertised for two years for $10K Canadian and wouldn't go...
It has been since sold but I don't know for what price..
I would think that your truck would go for 2-5K Tops.....

Unless you had someone that was in love with it ,it may be hard to get your 7K....
