Chuck Most Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I built the tractor a few years back- it's the AMT kit, back dated to a '59 model but retrofitted with a later style Cat V8. The idea I always kept coming back to for it was to have it hooked up to a short flat bed hauling another old Ford. I piddled around with a Lindberg trailer over the course of a couple years, and got it wrapped up a few weeks back, so I had my trailer. Then the problem became what to stick on the back. After trying a few existing models and giving some thoughts to building something especially as a trailer load, I finally opted to put a '69 Ford F350 wrecker on the back. Since Mr. Jim Wolfe seems to be fond of old Fords with some backyard engineered modifications, we can assume the '69 will be his next side project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafsprings Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 (edited) Nice low cost hauler. The dual headlights immediately set the tone for a more nostalgic era. Looks like Mr. Wolfe bought this C series from a government auction in the late 70's showing about 20 years of oxidized original U.S Army green paint.

1930fordpickup Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 NIce combo. I love the old military surplus tires on the tractor. I look for them at swap meets to do an old farm truck someday, just never find any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 That's a very nice build Chuck. This is my take on the C-600. I used parts from a bulldozer kit and some help from Evergreen, the cable line is motorized and can lift and lower loads. The outrigging is all scatch built. It isn't built to any exact copy, it is just a build that I had fun doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
