Spotted this in the current HEMMINGS Motor News . For sale in Montana (?) for $4900 ..running cond. A cab 11 C8

Looks to have a non original rear tub and the cab roof looks weird. And the front axle hubs look odd too.

Looked at their site, Flathead Customs, and while there are some nice oddities there, it's doesn't list the C8. Maybe it's already sold?

sorry for the late reply, the data plates are on the side of the Engine cowling drivers side. condition solid canvas like new, we rebuilt the top end of the motor runs fine had the gas tank cleaned and coated it had bad gas in it don't know how long it had been there but it was nasty. its had brakes all round just need bleeding to finish, let me know if you need more pictures or you have more questions.

Regards Mal
