My dad had all the info from Case for those trucks. He elected to buy a 1960 ?? Chevy cab/chassis with a 292 inline 6 and 4spd. He ordered in a Swartz tilt body form one of our equipment distributers, and mounted it here in the shop. It didn't have all the fancy boxes and flareing below the deck. Just a homemade chain box on the drivers side. He had one of the guys in the shop paint it all up Case colors, and my grandfathers brother-in-law was pretty talanted with a paint brush and did all the lettering. Dad cut and sawed out Ash for the side racks. The 6cyl coupled to only a 4spd wasn't really suited to handle the bigger tractors like the 800 and 4b STA plow in the pic., We have a lot of hills, and dad put a rod through the block climbing a long hill back up out of the valley. He then replaced it with new cabover chevy with a 427 V8 and a 5spd/2spd axle. We switched the swartz deck to the new truck, and this one was painted white and flambeau as Case changed color schemes. after we wore that one out, I bought a used Ford LN9000 with a 671 and 10spd ranger. For the third time we switched the swartz tilt bed, but we tottaly rebuilt the bed and lengthened it to 24' plus the 2' hyd approch plate. buy then we also had a tractor trailer with a Swartz single drop trailer with hyd beaver tail. These trucks were painted to Case fleet colors. White over Gray with flambeau and black trim accents. I didn't do a very good job of putting the pics in progression, but the pics show our trucks from the one in question, until our closeing in the fall of 86. Prior to the tilt bed, Dad and Gramps had a Chevy with a sissors lift dump body and some big heavy planks. Loren, the Acg.
