what model is this truck??
 

hey guys i was told this is a 1 ton truck but cant really tell. it is local to me and its free. was wondering if its a c10/20/30? thanks for the help

Re: what model is this truck??
 

By looking at the wheels I would guess it is a 3/4 ton or 1 ton..What #'s are on the front fenders... 10= 1/2, 20=3/4 , 30=1 ton. I am pretty sure the Id # tells you also but I dont know how to decipher it. I'm sure somebody will let you know how to though.

It looks like a 63 model for sure. The wrap around windshield and those fender emblems both point to a 63.

yea the guy said its a 63. thought about going for it but i really want a half ton. its free and come with an engine stand, hoist, used sbc 350 and a set of trickflow heads. oh well im guessing its free because its probably a c30, not sure though. thanks for the help guys

Well the price is right. You can always part it out if your not going to use it.

If you are going to lower it and convert it to 5 lug, it dosent really matter the tonnage.... all that stuff will get changed out anyway.
the 3/4 ton and 1 ton had a little thicker frame , and the rear cab mounts are different , but that is it.

you might have to pay a little more to register it since it is a 3/4, or 1 ton..
in montana I only had to pay 15$ more for mine since it wa a 3/4 ton.
now its on a completely different frame, and probably is only a 1/4 ton:lol:, but for 15$ I am not going to open up that can of worms with the state...
my 61 3/4 ton...

Re: what model is this truck??
 

I would be all over that for free regardless if it is a 1 ton or not. Like Jon said the frames are basically the same C10, 20 & 30. You would most likely want to upgrade to front discs if you had a 1/2 ton anyway, and it would be no different whether you start with a 1/2 ton or a 1 ton.

Does the free deal include the extra parts too?

Re: what model is this truck??
 

yes it included all of the free parts. well i gave the guy a call and he said some guy just picked it up. would have been nice to have a project to work on. oh well just a sign to get exactly what i want you know what im saying

Re: what model is this truck??
 

take it. all else fails. one of us will drive out and pick it up :) looks pretty solid :) if you dont want it i call dibs on the bed :) and the diff :) haha
