Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Those 'Ford Blue' Caterpillar diesels always busted me up. Their blue Detroit Diesels as well!
Detroits supplied to International Harvester were sometimes painted 'Farmall Red'.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
And GM, since they made their own diesel, wasn't concerned with matching their gas engine color.
Here's a nice one

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Another question for Bob or anyone else who would know. Somewhere around the late'70's to mid '80's you could get a GMC 7500 with a 6V-53 Detroit and a Road Ranger Trans, but only in a Tandem Axle truck for some reason. It seems like the Single Axle trucks could only get a 5-Speed and 2-Speed Rear at best. Wondering why this was and could you Special Order a Single Axle with a Road Ranger back then?

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
You never know, some fleet may have put in a large special order for 6V-53 7500 tandems with the small Road Ranger 10 or 13 speed and GMC decided to make it an R.P.O..
I remember you talking about a truck with a 637 gasser and a 10 speed. From all I have ever heard about the 637, that sounds like the ideal combination. Yet, most were built with 5 speeds. I wonder how the 637 would have been with a 5X4.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Bob, I have located some 637's online with 2 sticks. A town in NY had some. The 637 and the 10-Speed RR was a good combination. With a full load (30,000) it would die on some hills like a Detroit and require a lot of shifting, which I didn't mind, but was pretty impressive none-the-less. I always wished they gave me a Detroit though, lol.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Here are a couple we use around the farm. The 72, 366, 5+2 has been there since it was new. The white 70 350, 4+2 is handy for hauling out of the field, but it has made several trips to the elevator. Just have to be extra mindful in the curves!

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
I love seeing that you work these trucks. I see a few in use on farms around here, grain bodies. I think that's just great.
I don't know if I've showed these yet. But I keep finding them on Purplewave.com. I hope one can wait for me before they all get cycled out. One day I hope to raise crop on the family place up home in the mountains. Not a lot of land, but could offer my services around the county, just to enjoy putting one to use. I guess I could do that here for now

Heavy Mediums are cool trucks.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
I'm on a weekend trip with my wife & I swear I've seen 3 67-72 C50s or larger trucks. Scavenger hunt in western NC.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Just picked up this beautiful '67 C50. It was sitting in a field less than 5min. from my house. And yes that is a Radioshack speaker mounted in the corner -gives a whole new meaning to the term head-banger
