Oldmopars Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 With the upcomming issue of the Garwood C series Ford, I was thrilled to find this gem in my local area. I talked to the mechanic and it seems it is still working and used as a back up when needed. It is showing its age, but it is still in good shape, nearly all rust is surface rust, other than a little on the compactor. A tag in the window says it is a 1978 C8000 (emblems confirm this), engine is a Cat see picture, something ending in 36. I took a lot of pictures, if you want more, let me know.

The irony of having a 44 year old truck as a back up when the newer ones are down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledsel Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Shocked nobody mentioned the guy on the right checking out the oil leak from the car above. Hope they fixed that leak! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsprings Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) The mirrors on these Ford C series trucks are difficult to assemble with just the instruction sheet. A good side view photo helps solves the mystery. Side notes, 8000 emblem for the Cat V8 diesel and white steering wheel and stainless trim in windshield molding are part of the Custom Cab option.
