Chevy C65 3 Car Transporter

[StakerAlloys8]

Based on a homemade 3 car rollback from a local junkyard. The real truck was a 396 powered C65 Danco rollback bed with stinger, at some point the stinger was removed and replaced by a underreach and it gained the over head bed. My truck started as a MPC Sodbuster Chevy Pickup cab that had the front end replaced with a 3D printed Medium duty front end and put on a scratch built frame. The truck is mostly scratch built except the cab, interior, rear axle and wheels. Bed goes up and down, underreach goes back and forth. I like it, that's what really matters, I like it.

 

At some point the real truck was either traded for a Camaro, or sold. It then lost the overhead bed and eventually returned wrecked.

 

Thanks for looking

This is an Interesting subject!  And fun too!  Great work finishing and setting it up with loaded cars.  Adding the tarp is a nice touch.

Thanks David, unfortunately the real truck doesn't still exist, the next owner either wrecked it, or wanted a 396 Big Block and torching mounts and ripping cabs is an easier task than messing with 30 year old rusted bolts.  It is rather sad that it did get wrecked as it is a very impressive hauler. Here's a picture of the real thing.
