1970 Chevrolet C-50

 

Yeah, I know. But I want this truck. It's up at Hemmings. Always had a thing for old western farm trucks. Drove a 1968 International Loadstar 1700 for a couple of seasons on the wheat harvest in Alberta, offloading combines on the run and hustling the grain to the Alberta Pool elevator in town or to granaries on the farm. More on that episode posted here. They started threshing when the dew was off the crop and went at it until 1 or 2am. We were always watching the weather--like sailors. This blue truck was outfitted for hauling beets (side dump) but I sure like that blue. More grainers, and grain elevators, are posted here.
