Different vintage, but I am also a fan of the Medium Duty GM's.

I think that would be sweet! |
Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
So... let's have some engine and trans spec's on these for those of us who don't know anything about them. I understand they had some long stroke big blocks? Must be torquey as hell!!

These are not 67-72, but they are GMs.
First one is a '63 GMC-6500 with a V-6, 5 speed and 2 speed rear-end. Second one is a '77 GMC-6500 with a 427, 5 speed and 2 speed rear-end. Third one is a C-50 The only one that is mine is the dump truck. Danny |

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Growing up my dad used to haul rock out of a quarry in the corner of the farm. After he quit that he sold all his dump and spreader trucks which were all 50s and 60s trucks but kept his 68 C60 dump to use on the farm to haul corn from the combine to the bins. He bought it from the state of Iowa and it had like 25000 miles on it. It had a 292 with a four speed and a 2 speed rear end and fully loaded it would still go highway speeds. Next time I go see him I'll see if he has any pics that I can scan.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
He bought the truck in the early 70s for $2500 and used it for rock but made it a farm truck to haul corn and oats from the field. So it got used a few times a year. Never did anything to it but put gas and a battery in it and go. Then let it sit till the next year. He sold it for $300 in 1990 before we moved to Florida and the guy drove it home with no brakes lol. Like I said before it was a 292 with a 4 speed and a 2 speed rear end and was never at a loss of power we lived near the Mississippi River and there were a lot of hills too.

Yea I would have more but most of dad's pics are slides he's got a screen and a projector too. Lots of cool old cars and trucks in the slides.

This front end design was used up to the late 70's on school bus chassis.Makes you kind of wonder why GM used such short design cycles.Shoud have kept the 67 thru 72 pickup design up to 78. In 79, they should have released the 73 design up around 1990.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!

Heres some of an Old School Mud-Monster Truck, Cyclops;
http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1179/...bba9a2a854.jpg http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1210/...15c8e33fa3.jpg The Truck still exhists today, tho the body and frame have been seperated, the current owner of the frame is planning a complete restoration using a comparable body, if he cannot talk the previous owner out of the body, the body is sitting on a 3/4 Frame, just looks weird now. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3524/...e91f4c3e12.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2495/...ca05441c11.jpg thanks to Jim Mace for the Photos. |

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
agreed, but, the guy that had it previously apparently isnt all there, and did that, and kept the body. the current owner of the Frame is out in California and plans on doing a full restoration to how it looked back in the day.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
The yellow Tonka is really neat but with that wheel base and that suspension it would have to be a back breaker to ride in.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Nice stuff . Love the big 4x4's

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
The trucks look really cool, but what I like most about the bigger trucks were those LOOOONG stroke V-8's they had in them. I'm sure they had more torque than the earlier diesels did!
I was out in Bullhead City, AZ one time and watched a guy in an early 60's tandem axle dump truck loaded to the moon, go up a hill in second gear, wide open, 10 MPH... slower, slower... then pretty soon grabbing the granny gear and crawling up this road at a whopping 5 MPH. Not impressive, but it sure did sound good! |

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Man I really need to figure out a way to build one of these some day soon. By figure out I mean I need to finish my Tahoe, my sons F-1 and my next company show truck then it is wide open. Here is the vision (photoshop) I would be going for.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Yeah, I agree. Keep this post going! I'd like to see some of the older COE's posted too, even if it's a little off-subject. Some of the 40's and 50's COE's were just funky looking, but cool in their own way!
