Grandpa took good care of his tools. Revamp that baby and use it. Keep it stock, just freshened up with new wires, etc. Or, restore it and show it. That would be fantastic at shows.

keep as is. good reason to buy a farm now you already have the truck. just freshen it up and keep like grandpa had it.

I would use that truck every day keep it original. Change the fluids new plugs new wiring put her on the road that’s what built America trucks like that . 🇺🇸👍🏻

I appreciated the video and your family history. You cant go wrong any way you go to keep the truck alive but keeping it as is and fixing it up would be fantastic. look forward to more videos.

Do a Frame off Restoration with a modern Izzu engine swap, sort of a tip of the hat to the little red LUV.

Putting it on a new frame with the existing bennes restored could be an awesome project.

Keep it stock 😊refresh the bed and take it to shows and signage at the shop under cover. Nothing will compare to it holding ur label out front on nice weather days 😊

Damn nice ❤ I sure wish I could have gotten on your team. You are one heck of a man with one heck of a team ❤🙏👍🤙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👌💪

58yr old truck, so awesome, i would drive it everday. Keep it original for dang sure, honor that heritage! ❤

As is. Don't play too much with this one. It's a classic.

Years ago, I worked for a farmer that had a 50's model GMC with a 302 V-6 in it. Was not fast at all. But you dump the clutch with a load of wheat in it. That truck would almost stand on the back bumper. In that grain truck if you needed to teach someone what torque, that was the one to do it with.

Those “water jugs “ are great. That’s how they get away withought the no spill stuff.

Keep it original. That truck is way to cool to be put on a ram chassis.

Emerson would be proud there Cole!

I would clear the cab and keep the original Patina. Drop a Duramax in where that 292 inline six sits, add either a NV4500 or 5600 transmission, and talk to Marmon and Harrington about making it a 4x4 but definitely keep the dump bed.

I'd say a moderate restoration and keeping it as it is. That's what I'd do. On the other hand, it now belongs to you. You get to make that decision.

First Start 😮

That is one hell of a cool old truck I love it

Looks like an easy restoration and people at car shows would love it!

If you could find a 5500 or a 6500 chassis and put the cab and dump body on something like that would be totally awesome. Thank you for sharing your family history with us. Granddad sounded like a great guy

dump bodies are invaluable whether on farm or around the shop, don't want to lose that. Its in beautiful shape for its age. A few modern conveniences and this will turn out to be a gem...

Fun fact: EVERY single person born in Iceland is related to each other at least down to the 8th generation - simply because there aren't many people around at all times. It's just a numbers game. ✌️ Even today Iceland has less than 400000 inhabitants. And thanks to the U.S. Army they had a boatload of leftover Jeeps after WWII - which started the love for offroading and is the origin for the Formula Offroad. 🤟

That's a hard decision. As much as keeping it original and restoring it would be cool, I think you have to do what is needed to make it a work horse. If you want to keep it original, I would fix it up to be the scrap/dump run truck but make it run like new with a complete overhaul. Otherwise I would say to frame swap it but with a dump bed that has removable heavy duty sides for versatility. No matter what, honor it by using it.

I went to GM Technical Training in 1981 for this platform. If I remember, it has a Kiki diesel injection pump. I still have all the manuals. Didn't see a whole lot of them, but the were built like a Japanese tank. The bodies rusted away here in the midwest. Nissan also produced a competing model as well.

Awesome honor your grandfather it’s flawless as is…

Can't tell you how much it means to see this truck in the family !! ❤ It will LIVE on! 🛻 Thank you Cole.

If you have a use for it as is, leave it alone and use it. It would make a cool 4x4 roll back with Cummins power.

I just saw your KZfaq site for the first time and like what i am seeing . Wow the C60 is in great shape.

Leave it “as is” Enjoy it !!!

Awesome show guys !!!!

You like it cause it is orignal. So keep it that way. Only can be orignal once. Doesn't have to be 100% orginal but close.

I remember the chevy luv, do not remember the diesel, built to compete with the then Datsun and toyota small trucks. That C60 is awesome.😅😅😅😅😅

I like how chill Jim is. Doesn’t mind to ride in the middle. Also please tag where we can buy merch.

I think a service bed would suit it nicely

Great video as always guys. Gotta keep it as is. 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Keep it close to original for now. Maybe add an aftermarket overdrive. You can always do the body swap later.

Definitely restore it and keep it as is

Nice…. I had a LUV, a little older and gas that I used a lot even though it was terribly rusty. I always wanted a diesel one. That’s a real gem! I also had a C60 but newer that I used mostly for firewood and would have loved that dump bed! I hope that you keep it original, it’s a fine example and in such great condition. There’s plenty of rusted frame, etc. ones that you could put on a newer chassis….

If it was me u I would keep it original as a way to pay respect and honor the family history. To me there isn't a lot of old school traditional trucks like that around anymore

nice truck good to keep Gradads truck going. Can't wait to see it done I would keep it original.

Keep it like grandpa left it!!❤❤

Update the 1966 C60. New dump, wrap, air ride, PS, winch, 44's, 4x4, chicken lights...

Keep it original 👌

i had the luv body before this one was a great little truck right out of high school.

Now that’s a truck, loved the video and the memories of our old farm vehicles 😀😀👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️great video guys ❤️❤️

A 🧱 Brick House 🏠. Something u don’t see much of over the pond.

hey, you guys are near my friends house . I know the Lymans. Good people. they lived by me. My wife is related to Lymans

I enjoyed the family history. As for the truck, my vote is to keep it original. There are not many trucks out there that old that were taken care of like this one. Most are nothing but rusted scrap, that is held together by 4 things. Duck tape, bubble gum, bailing wire, and a prayer.

Ram chassis. All day 👍💪🏻💪🏻🇺🇸

Love it like Grandpa loved it. If you change anything, maybe change the bed suit your purposes. Otherwise keep it stock. Those old straight 6;s have tons of torque.

I'm pretty sure ALL Chevy LUV trucks were Isuzu trucks from '72 forward. I know the '94 S10 I owned was also sold as an Isuzu as well (with a slightly reshaped body.) Apparently, this collaboration continue(s) through the Colorado models.

Keep it original it's beautiful

It’s an amazing truck and to look as nice as it does after all these years. Grandpa definitely took care of his business. It would be awesome to see this truck fully restored with original look. But either way you go with it it’s going to be awesome. Look forward to more videos

Keep it original beautifully truck

That lil LUV is awesome!

Maybe a roll back? Service truck. Truck has real history behind it!!!!

Keeping this C60 all original would be awesome! It would be a shame to chop it up and anything else!

Love the truck guy's. I've hauled a lot of corn and soybeans in a truck just like it. Sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family. Thanks for the video stay safe guy's.

Resto mode it and keep the dump . with a few modes it could haul a fat truk

Awsome Awsome vlog guy's.

Damn it’s Sunday already?! Love it guys thank you again!!

The truck looks great. Thanks for sharing.

I like the camper idea

Best episode so far.

Hell ya boys such a great video cant wait to see the transformation with the jack knife touch

Cool old truck!! Can’t wait to see what you guys do with it

great job again.

You could do a mix and do a P-pump Cummins and manual trans swap.

Truck is mint so I'd say keep original. Although a dodge swap is cool, it just is hard to chop up a survivor like this. Find a rougher rig and swap? Keep this one for sure though.

i just subscribed..you got me hooked..i want to see more...

Guy's do what needs to be done to keep that truck on the road

Such a great story about the family and the history of the truck. I am up in the air one side wants to see it original and the other side is more practical and wants to see the body swap onto a more modern running gear. Do the body swap and keep the dump bed!

9:44 Well that’s not going to start first time.

Oh yeah 👍🇺🇸

I am a stevens with roots from all over Utah aswell makes me wonder

you guys complete my sunday these days!

Full stock restoration 😊

Keep it kinda original. Maybe a Cummins driveline. Put a new dump contractor bed so you can dump or pickup pallets. Maybe a red patina on the bed to keep the look. Probably bag the rear end. And when I say Cummins I mean 12v. Gotta sound like a truck

Excellent!

Please restore it as a stock truck, it would be magic as an original truck that is almost as old as I am 🙂

I appreciate the video

Frame swap it and keep it a dump truck!

Obviously at the end of the day its youre truck to make the decision but ne personally i would just restore it completely like a new hydraulic pump and clean the frame and run it how it is. Eventually i would drop a cummings or duramax in it and i would do a 4 wheel drive conversion

So much life left in it. Honor your grandfather and keep it original. Don’t be trendy with a family heirloom, just to get views.

i see all these guys saying they would restore it or keep it original, but they dont have the truck so its easy to talk .i have a C60 1965 sitting in my yard, ive been using it for parts for another restoration. someone put a 350 in it but if you are interested let me know. first 8 hundred gets it. it has no bed on it, and needs a bit of work.

I'd love that cab on my 2nd gen Ram. It needs a Cummins for sure.

Awesome 🇺🇲🤘🇺🇲

Update the truck, clean it up, 4wd, engine, trans swap, upgrade the PTO.

As in good as shape as it's in I would put the money into upgrading the power train and leave the body alone.

Keep it original.. just take the sides off, and put a beavertail on it and use it as a hauler.. no ramps, just tilt it to load

I wold live it as is

Drop A Durimax under the hood as clean as the frame looks just upgrade the engine and keep it looking as stock as possible.

292 ci in line I-6 lot of low end torque

I would restore it and maybe consider installing a newer motor like maybe an LS and possibly an automatic or a later model manual trans also I would replace all the wood on the bed and paint it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You almost have to keep it totally original. See if there is a 2 speed rear axle or a way to make it keep up with modern vehicles.

Keep it stock.

Keep it like it is. Don't hack it up please

I would get it back to original paint but keep firewall the same as the ppl who built it are the ones who wrote on it . Would pull motor an do a rebuild on it but juice it up abit for modern speeds an do axles for same reason an then drive it everyday . Would also build small camper box to put on it when your goin to trade shows etc to live in it an one more thing an most important put a pic of grandad on the glovebox door . As for the luv it was built in japan as isuzu an shipped to australia as a holden rodeo an to the states as a chev luv . That model in australia is kb , Great little ute .

Make a great roll back just as is

I would throw some different spindles a different axle underneath it put some 20-5 set my wheels and lower it
