This has been one of my on going restoration projects . It's a 1969 FWD 6x6 whith 6-V 53 detroit & 5 speed main transmission with 3 speed hog box . It started life as a concrete mixer then a lime spreader truck.It sat for several years then I bought it as a cab & chassis.Wasent sure what we would build out of it but decided on oil field / riggup truck. Still have some work to do to it but its pretty close.I'm trying to stay traditional in the spirit of the old riggup trucks and just using odds and ends of material we have laying around as many of them in the past were built. Used old 8 inch I beams & 12 inch H beams for the bed & tailboard .Used old dozer bottom rollers for the tail roller.I did have to buy new steel for the floor. Winch is old garwood mechanical drive. Cut all the pieces to fit then glued it together with 6011 & 7018's . Still need to build gin-poles & few other small items .It has a nose & face only a mother could love
