Default Fantastic resto...

Beautiful job Dirk. Must be one of the earliest C60X that has survived.... did it have original ID tags??


Was the truck actually driven with 16 in. tires by the Elliott crew or was is just used for moving it around in the yard???

Would love to see some close up pictures of that Generator you installed.

Bob, When I find the support group for recovering Chevrolet addicts I will let you know. (remember, your daily driver is a Ford)
Until then I hope everyone can understand and help you in your illness.

When I saw the generator, it reminded me of the one you got from Jim Fraser. (I think we decided the one from Jim is a Homelite HRH-28, originally for use in M3 medium tanks, possibly other later tanks too?)
