I saved a 1960 C60 so its nice to see folks save the big trucks.
I have manuals and parts data for some of the big truck stuff so holler if you need a GM number for anything. I might be able to help.
Its posted elsewhere in the forum but here is mine.
Jumpsoffrock runs a later model but was a big help to me when i was figuring out the wheels and tires as mine had splits that had to be replaced.
Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Wow beautiful truck! It gives me inspiration. I will definitely be asking for info and help. Brake pedal lever was apparently just frozen between the pivot point bracket under the dash, I just pushed down 175lbs of pressure (me) and it broke free. So, now the pedal goes right to the floor with no resistance or brake activation haha.
Here are some pics

2. The engine compartment showing temporary gas tank robbed from a generator, new cap-plug wires-belts
3. Maybe could have saved some $$ and kept the old spark plug wires (#sarcasm)
4. The cab will be cleaned out next
5. Another angle of this beast
