Re: How Many Of You Drive Your 60-66 Trucks Daily?

thanks guys... here's the written rundown on the dually.
started with a 65 c-30 with a really rusty cab, an 87 1-ton dually rollover that was an auto trans and a 66 bbw air cab from a half ton. used the frame from the 65, the front disc cradle and rear suspension from the 87 (everything bolted right up to the 65 frame except switching for staggered shocks). then used 66 cab and clip from the half ton.
70 model 350 4-bolt, flattop and rv cam. holley pro-jection and a unilite, factory power and air options and 805 box.
cruises at 60 mph at 2800 rpm, so i think the auto trans rear is slightly taller than the old manual. and it runs on big michelins but i still want to install the nv 4500 with the captains hyd. clutch (soon).
has a huge tow pack out back with 9000 winch built in. jerks anything i've ever wanted to move on my trailer very easily.
oh yeah... the bed is off a 50 model with a bunch of old running lights

i will try to get some pics together the next day or so.
and thanks again... clem
