  • In this video I have to move an old Chevrolet 6400 5-ton truck. I already know that the engine was bad 20 or more years ago, so I'm just going to take the easy way out and tow it. This should be no problem...
    Here's the sources I used for the engine identification information:

    Very nostalgic for me. Those dump control levers took me back to an old Jimmy I drove as a teen. If you revved to high while dumping the PTO driveshaft would fly apart and would take an hour to repair. The old oshkosh is a beast!

    I was struck between the similarities between that Chev 6400 and a TJ Bedford. Some styling differences in the front end, but the cab interiors felt very similar. Been many years since I've been inside one though so could be wrong. I think late 50's Bedfords found their way back to the GM parts bin through Vauxhall? Maybe I'm mile off and my memory playing tricks.
    A common mod for those Bedfords in AUS when they were relegated to "farm truck" duty was to drop a Holden (GM) 308 V8 in them. Plenty of them lying around.

    I feel a bit sad that the old 54 model chevy truck is not worth fixing. I so did love the look of them. Its also the look of the very first 55 model trucks as their new bodies were not ready for production and so they used the 54 cab on the 55 for a few months. It made that model cab worth some very serious coin. I ain't sure of much in life but maybe someone whom is moderately moneyed up would enjoy bringing it back to life. That is not your style, you either fix or use to fix others rightfully so
