Good looking 74 COE 6500 GMC w/ BBC and a big SPID! Only $4000!

https://portland.craigslist.org/clc/...666783306.html

This is a 1974 gmc big narly dump truck.
As far as I can tell you do not have to have a cdl. The door jam plate says gvw 25000 but you'll have to do your own research on that.
I bought it because I had a dream of turning it into a rollback car hauler tow truck kinda thing.
But after really looking into it. It's a bit more than I want to tackle.
It has its original 4 bolt main 427 big block Chevy engine and
it's Allison 4 speed automatic transmission.

The engine if you didn't tell by the pictures runs on propane.
Which you ether love it or you hate it. The thing I loved about it is the motor is super clean inside. Not full of carbon. We just changed the oil and filter on it which looked like new still.

I also just changed the transmission filter in the pan and the inline filter along with a little over 4 gallons of transmission fluid.

The cab has definitely had some use to it. It has some rot spots in the front under the windshield one on each corner and also I think one on each side in the rear bottem corners.

The bed is all solid steel no wood anything. I was pretty surprised at. It is 3/16 to 1/4 inch thick steel.
It measures 18ft long by 8 ft wide.
It also looks like the bed side will unbolt and lift off but I have no big equipment to lift it off with so I can't really show you.

It's not fast by any means but it will get you there. It has like a 7:16 geared rear end or something like that. So its top speed is 45 mph with out over revving the engine.

It was purchased from a roofer that didn't use it any more and it would work great for roofing again. Dirt gravel what ever you want to throw in there.
The tires are usable the front 2 look good, 2 in the back look good and 2 in the back could use being replaced I. The next couple years or so. Depending on how much you are driving it.

All the glass is good both windshields were replaced recently by the last owner and still look new.

Im open to trades for a nice car trailer / Car carrier Classic car trucks motorcyles guns tools and such

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
 

I see that it also has Air Brakes.

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
 

How about this thing? I didn't know where to put it, but it's something to talk about

That is cool, would make a hell of a food truck. Lend me a dollar and pick it up for me?

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
 

The Cortez was produced by Clark forklift company. All the early ones came with a slant 6 and a manual trans. They had torsion bar suspension and drove very nice.

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
 

just found out searching it that in 71 they went with a old toranado 455/3 speed auto driveline for the new system .

Whenever I see those big old COEs, I wonder what it would be like to shorten it up and build it like the old Jeep FC pickups. Maybe even a 4x4 conversion with 2.5 ton military running gear...

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
 

I saw this one yesterday on craigslist. https://fortcollins.craigslist.org/c...686432443.html ...not a bad buy from what you can see.

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
 

Sure, but I need another dollar for gas
Definitely something that should be saved. Someone with more money than sense must have let it sit like that. These were premium camper machines and surely would be a big hit with vintage camper collectors. I wish I could jump on it, but couldn't stick it inside or come close to starting work on it any time soon.
No picture? Is this the tilt cab like the white one above?
Sure can't see much in that ad. Real enthusiastic about selling, ey? It does appear to be decent and it would be perfect for me. Nice beefy little dumper a skid loader could load easily.

I'm not usually one for budd wheels but I like that! Would be a cool rig to go through mechanically and leave it just as is...

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
 

Do those bolt patterns allow for easy switching to normal tubeless rims? Or is it some weirdo never used bolt pattern?

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
 

looks like a major cut up and home made modified holmes split boom wrecker unit . dont look like a stock holmes unit i have seen .

and a stright 6 gas in that seems wierd . . . .

and notice the c10-c20 style vac brake booster and master from a newer truck on the firewall .

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
 

The 292-6 was still somewhat used back then.

They are really good engines.

Especially with some gearing. Looks like that truck is a 4 & 2.

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
 

oh i know . my dad had a old pepsi delivery c-60 truck he cut down to make a home made wrecker with and that straight 6 1-barrel would pull like a freight train . i remember as a kid pulling 2-3ft dia locus tree stumps out on high idle and she just would not chug down . . . pull and pull .

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
 

The 292 gets it's torque about 1,000 rpm lower than the 283. This is all due to cylinder charging. The little monojet 1 barrell has a very high intake velocity at low rpm. Low rpm cylinder charging is what makes it torqey. The same is true for the GMC V-6. Tiny little carb on a 305--351---401--478
The Quadrajet is an attempt to get the torque with small primaries and still have lots of high rpm with the huge secondaries. Same idea for the Thermoquad. They also made V-8 manifolds with individual runners for the primaries seperate from the secondary runner.
It is all about intake port velocity.
I have a 317 lincoln engine that came stock in a F-900 Marmon Herrington. I found a super deal on a 4 bbl manifold but, I think that it would kill the low-end torque.
It's a trade-off between low-end and high-end torque.

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
 

My 292 was impressive in my '64-30, but one day I was along side a newer 1-Ton with a 350 in it and I passed him. It was up a steep hill and I was carrying a full cord of firewood. He was empty.

The rare 4000 with Wide Fenders. Although if all original, it looks like a '64 or '65.

If it will start and run, it would be well worth the price.

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
 

A lot of truck for the price.

1949 Chevy 3800 Panel truck. Were duals factory on these? Looks like it... really neat truck.

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
 

Yes, dual wheels were an option on the one ton panels since the 1920's, and ended early/mid 50's?. And the series prior to this, 41-46, a 1.5 ton was available in a panel truck, also in dually form and 4wheel drive in military version.

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
 

https://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/d...715613063.html This one would be in the driveway TODAY if it were closer-closer.

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
 

Looks like a good solid truck.

Although they got the year wrong.

It's actually 2 years newer. It's a '64.

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
 

Super clean c50

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
 

Real nice truck and it's right near me too, lol.

If I was in need for Dump that size, I'd be jumping on it.

Interesting that it's just a C-50, but has Spoke Wheels yet.

Whoever buys it will have many years of great service.
