Buying a new square...C60 dump truck!

[42Grand]

Hey everyone, I’m starting a new project and am needing some direction. I’m purchasing a 1978 C60 dump truck and have some fun plans for a conversion to a large “oversized” square body. I’m planning on using the vehicle for pulling a trailer and or promotional advertisement for my business. Should be fun!

Now the reason I’m posting...I didn’t see a section in this forum for commercial / farm equipment. Does anyone know where I might be able to find some more information on troubleshooting and tech tips? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks everyone!

I'm sure most of your questions can be answered right here on GM Square Body.

To answer your first question:

What other questions do you have?
