The Century Series was CCC’s core product throughout the 1960s and 1970s — a cab-beside-engine (CBE) design where the cab sits alongside the engine rather than above or in front of it. This half-cab configuration gave CCC its name — the design’s ability to carry the booms of cranes without the cab blocking the load space made it ideal for crane operations. The Century CBE was also widely used for concrete mixing (the Century II Unimixer is the most recognized model), logging, mining, and heavy construction. The engine is fully accessible from the side without cab tilting. Cummins, Caterpillar, Detroit Diesel, and other engines were available throughout the Century’s production run. Surviving Century trucks are historically significant vocational vehicles.

The Century II Unimixer is the most recognizable and celebrated Crane Carrier truck — a front discharge concrete mixer on the CBE (cab-beside-engine) platform that became the standard for ready-mix concrete delivery operations throughout North America. The cab-beside-engine design places the cab alongside the engine, creating an extremely compact front end that gives the driver exceptional forward visibility for concrete placement accuracy. The Unimixer competed directly with the Oshkosh S-Series in the front discharge concrete mixer segment. Surviving Century II Unimixers are commonly found in ready-mix operations and are actively collected by vintage truck enthusiasts. We purchase all Century II Unimixers in any condition.

CCC has built custom chassis for oil and gas drilling operations since its earliest years — the CBE half-cab design proved ideal for carrying drill rig equipment where the low profile and open boom-carrying space of the half-cab was a significant advantage over conventional truck cabs. CCC also builds water well drilling trucks on its vocational chassis. The oil field and water drilling applications were part of CCC’s founding business alongside concrete and crane work. We purchase all CCC oil field and drilling trucks in any condition.

CCC’s vocational chassis expertise extends to terminal tractors and aviation fueling vehicles — custom configurations for port, intermodal, and airport ground support operations. The CBE and low-entry cab designs that CCC pioneered for refuse collection translate directly to terminal and aviation applications where driver visibility, compact dimensions, and frequent entry/exit are critical. CCC also built ship-to-shore tractor configurations for the U.S. Army — demonstrating the military application potential of its vocational chassis designs. We purchase all CCC terminal and aviation ground support vehicles in any condition.

During the early to mid-1990s, CCC produced Type D school bus chassis that were used by Carpenter Body Company and Wayne Corporation for school bus body mounting. This was a departure from CCC’s core vocational truck focus and a relatively limited production run. Type D school buses on CCC chassis are uncommon — any surviving example is of historical interest. We purchase all CCC school bus chassis in any condition.
