Broadway Limited Imports HO 7640 EMD SD40, CSX

First launched in 1960 by Chevrolet/General Motors as either a 2 wheel drive (C) or 4 wheel drive (K), the Chevrolet Stepside pickup truck featured a V8 engine, a 3-speed manual gearbox, with the gearstick on the steering column and a great innovation, independent suspension. The result was a superb light, reasonably priced utility truck with the feel of a car, very popular across all fronts from private owners to commercial businesses.

The Oxford model is based on the 1965 C10 short wheelbase, 2 wheel drive version and we see it making its seventh appearance in pale yellow, offset with lots of chrome finish, the customary whitewall tyres and a black interior. Note the 10 classification printed in red on the side of the bonnet just to the front of the cab doors. It is registered CJ 9926 in Utah 65.
