The Big Ol' Butt
 

So, a very good friend of mine asked me if I wanted to store and use his 1972 1 Ton dump truck. He has another project inbound and I have barn space.

He owns the Stovebolt (https://www.stovebolt.com/) website and, while I know zippy about old trucks, he trusts me not to goon this. I have the technology to goon a sunrise but John has faith. :cool:

I think WD knows him as well.

So, while I know the truck, I needed to make sure I learned a bit more. The pictures that follow are all taken inside the garage. Taken today, more to follow after we get it out in a week or two.

Cool truck...looks to be in great shape too.

How long 'till someone posts a photo of Kim Kardashian's massive butt in this thread?

Soon, I hope:cool:

John, the owner of the dump truck, and I have know each other for a ling time. He is getting a 1927 Chevy Capital 1 Ton and need the space. I know.

The old truck folks, all of them regardless of make, are insane.

The Big Ol' Butt truck is indeed in incredible shape.

Sunshine pictures soon.

Saw the thread title......and was thinking this....... ;)

Nice! Probably a 345 or 392(I think!) coupled with a T18 4spd. Grandpa bought a 63 3/4 ton International in 1963. Ran like a top. We would still have it if the barn didn’t blow down and rust consumed the sheet metal. I think a clutch job for our truck was almost $3000. Not sure why?

Fuel consumption will be awful. Should have loads of grunt and run longer then all of us.

Cool rig!

That truck will certainly need a name.

If you figure the fertilizing and plowing is already complete, he trusts you to keep his big ol butt dry

Cool. reminds me of the dump truck I used working in construction in Weschester County when I was 20.

Bertha .... Bertha Butt

I had a 70 Travelall. Cool truck, wish I still had it.

Kim can jump in a lake

thats better

It's way to clean You need to stink it up some
Load of manure?

I was thinking that revolting Kim Kardashian.

John the Chevy man bought a Cornbinder? Blasphemy!!
A truck that size is perfect to have around a small farm. I've often wished I had an older 2 or 3 yard dump. The problem is registration and insurance costs more than renting a dump trailer 3-4 times a year.

Cool and Old school... That truck will outlive most of us!

Large Marge

This isn't his, but the same truck he is going to get back on the road:

Oh, 100%. I am just going to care take the BOB and drive it once a month or so until it goes back.

I have had a dump trailer for over a decade that will continue to do the dirty work.

Road test to follow:cool:
