Finished my c60 yesterday. 
This is the last truck I have to make. The truck had a 366 gas engine with a 5 speed trans. w/ 2 speed rear axle. This represents a late 70s model. The bed is a 14' Knapheide grain bed with a Harsh Hoist. The tarp handle is removable and stored in the bed frame.
We used this truck from the early 80s until 1997, so this truck will get at least two years use on my 1995 display. We used this truck to tender starter for our JD7200 planter. It held a 1000 gallon tank and a pallet of seed (very limited in space in the bed when we did this). It also tendered soybean bags to our 750 drill sometimes too. It pulled our bean in the fall too.
Truck cab is posterboard and has engine, opening hood, and opening doors. The bed is posterboard and balsa wood. The rear sections are removable along with the tarp bows and endcaps. The frame is balsa wood. The front rims are scratch built and the rear rims were modified. Any questions please ask. I'll stop talking now and let the pics do the talking.
Scratch built fertilizer tank
Thanks for looking and feel free to comment or ask questions!
P.S. Next projects include my shop and fertilizer warehouse. I plan to finish my display before I work on my harvest equipment. I will have to take time off to work on my 4-h display as well as reorganize my room and workbench.
