they sell adapters on egay for them to go to 10 or 8. you can call Goodyear of someone like that. they are not that bad at all or the local salvage yard(big truck) they sell them also. When i worked at penske I think I could get them for 150 200 each. I was going to do this for my dad on his 73 one ton. dully

local truck tire garage had semi rims that fit it like a glove. 3 of the 6 tires are now on the upgraded rims. I'll swap the last three when the tires wear out.

Re: 65 C60
 

We were told on the rear that if/when we have to replace one rear tire, we have to replace them all, as they can't re-mount these wheels apparently. The rears have tons of tread, so I hope we don't get a flat, lol.

I wish those pics hadn't dissappeared....

Re: 65 C60
 

Oops, I moved them in my PB. I'll fix the links, as well as add some new pics.

Pics Updated. Also hauled 2 loads of scrap with it in July. First was gates out of hog barns, and they weighed almost 6 tons, hauled another load of 3 tons of steel. About $600 of steel at $75/ton.

wayyyyyy late (as usual) but hey the thread came back to the top so I looked in.
Nice truck..excellent score!!!!! You don't see many in THAT good of condition. Wish I had that cab. Wait... I wish I had the whole truck!!!

Re: 65 C60
 

yeah! I got to see how nice your truck is. I'm kinda on the hunt for one right now as my plans for my profect change whenever I see something I like. Now I've got it in my head to get on of these beasts to use as a base for my crew cab build. How cool would one of these be with a crewcab, big window, cummins, and a 10 speed? And it would have to be set up with air suspension and a fleetside bed with step side fenders added one....oh, and the bed would have to dump, can't have a big truck w/o a dump bed....anybody wanna sponsor this?

Re: 65 C60
 

Haha. Umm, this truck is staying here....

Re: 65 C60
 

Pics of it now?

Re: 65 C60
 

I've been cruising the net for one and saw a wrecker with a BBW! I didn't think they ever made heavy duty trucks like that. Anyway I'm on the hunt now, just might make a kill. If you have a minute can you measure from the back of the cab to the front of the rear wheels? I'm woondering how much room is in there.

Re: 65 C60
 

Every truck is different, depending on the bed that was put on. GM made one chassis and the coach builder cut and welded in frame extensions to make their bed fit.

Tito, the only thing different that you can see on the truck is the wheels, and right now it's in the shed, behind a bunch of tractors. If I get it out to change the oil before winter, then I might get some pics.

Re: 65 C60
 

almost al wreckers, and tow trucks were big back window, for visibility...
check out www.6066gmcguy.org/ for frame length for the bigger series trucks, there were quite a few.
.... and check out this for inspiration

Re: 65 C60
 

That's some pretty awesome inspiration. I've got to thinking about this since I've already seen a couple crewcab c10's running around the forum, which would make mine be another in the crowd. I've also thought of doing a Long Bed dually

Re: 65 C60

Re: 65 C60
 

I have a 1965 c60 dump with that model hoist, and the company is out of business and having a real problem locating any literature on the hoist
