Wolverine Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Make an offer. This truck is in a yard of a house that is being sold. It has to be removed, so before it’s junked is anyone interested?

1912Staver Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Great truck, it should be saved. But where is it ? It's only going to be of interest to someone reasonably close. Greg in Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nash34 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Where is it located at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Carl Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 From the area code, that would be Western, but not EXTREME Western Long Island, NY. Access, terrain/traction condition, and time frame to remove would be useful. If that was near me, I could put my mud chains on my '76 GMC Deuce and hoist up the rear end, lash the steering and be outa there rolling slowly. I'd do it just for the yard art beauty of it. But it is not near me where the agricultural traffic density is near zero. Long Island logistics sure demand a better man, and better rig than I and my oldie.

Wolverine Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 It’s in Smithtown, NY. I spoke to Gary last night he said someone was coming to pick it up today. But if your interested in it I would call to make sure that it was picked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nor'Easter Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I bought this truck, and would never go onto LI with a 25' gooseneck again but it was worth it. Roundtrip took me 16 hours (coastal Maine). Cowl back will have to be remade, including the doors, floor, entire cab, and skirts. I'm glad I have it, this is not something the backyard fellow can do up with regular shop tools. I have been on the hunt for a chassis number as the data plate is missing. It has a JXC engine and the bore specs on it tell me it's a model 606 or 750 from the early 30s. The wheels are factory and a very rare configuration, along with the top load Timken worm axle. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercer09 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 If you picked it up in LI, the truck should have been free. good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, I drive back up every year from TX after moving from the South shore about halfway out. Smithtown was on the other side of the Island. I use to drive on and off with a 30 ft trailer down through NJ. You should try the NJ turnpike heading out to PA if you thought getting on and off the Island was bad ! What you did is not for the faint of heart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
