This is a good running truck. In fact i watched it go down the road tuesday. Sounded great, no smoke. 220 with either 5x3 or 5x4 not sure. Originally a continental conversion

Kyle do you know what high bid was on 260 ? Thanks Joe D.

[Screamin DD]

Not a clue, Joe. I was going to go but spent day with my dad. He has been recovering from open heart surgery. I just hope the scrappers didnt get it

Hey Kyle tell your dad I said hello and wish him a speedy recovery! Thanks Paul

Best of luck on your Dad's recovery. Looking at picture I see they made extension on radiator cover. Did the diesel and gaspots have different BBC or hood lengths? Thanks Joe D.

Thanks ,Guys. He is doing great. Joe, The early conversions of Continentals to Cummins in my area used this techique. I have seen many town and county 260's like this. They just cut the front out of another radiator shell added it to the existing one and added some frame. The 6-71's were much more simple and easy fit, but didn't have motor mounts for them until 65. I am not sure but i think that truck was an old town of Tyre. They also had a real sweet 1967 260 with a factory 250 cummins that was really hopped up and 5x4 twin stick(Beer Taps were the shift knobs) double over. A friend of mine worked for the town of Varick and he just got a new IH S series with a 300 cummins and they were doing some paving and needed outside help. So Along came this Hopped up 250. As My friend Rick explained to me that OL' Brock pushed him down the road all day

Kyle, wish your dad well and a speedy recovery. The truck went for $2400, hopefully that means it was saved from the scrappers.
