1 ton quistions
 

i have chance at a 1ton truck for a really really good deal it is a 70 i think it is a 133' wheel base if I am correct there where 2 different lengths on these i would like to know, it is a flatbed which i intend to keep but it does have the factory clearance lights on the cab and the body is perfect and when i am talking perfect i am talking not even a rust pit. so help me out on this i want more information on 1tons

The longer one was 157", all those were cab-chassis duallys.

Here is a great thread with tons of 1 ton pics! ;)

just think of it as a 3/4 ton with bigger (and much more expensive) brakes in back.
I recomend swapping out both the rear end...and updating the front end with something newer and more avalible. I spent over 250 bucks (with my discount) and didn't even replace everything. Drums are no longer avalible....wheel cylinders are like 60 bucks each...
but other than that...it's just a HD 3/4 ton.
Whats the engine/tranny combo on it? It may have the undesirable 4.56 gears.

it has a 350 w/4 barrel carb and an sm465 trans, i didnt get a good look at the rear end because i did not feel like crawling under the truck that was covered in 4ft weeds and the truck has 16.5 wheels on it.

Jake, if you don't go through on the deal, please let me know. I'm always looking for a short dually.

You know where I am at.

must be nice I just did the brakes on a 1 ton today the wheel cylinders here are $125.56 my cost, list at $187.20 if they only cost as much as those I wouldnt mind paying $60.-$70. bucks.And thats no lie I have the receipt.

what year one ton? What rear end? What size brakes?

Andy, I imagine it's the Canadian factor as far as the price goes.

It was a 69 it is the 1 im tying to find out all the info on as I have been asked to do a little work on it and I am finding out alot of stuff is different than other trucks.Yes im in canada and I have never paid more than $60. bucks for a wheel cylinder in my life thats why I said things are alot different on this 1 ton gmc.the part # on the origanal cyl is FC-34142 made by wagner it is a common brake manufactuor.
