Refurbishing a 1970 C30 flat bed stake side. Is there a forum for C30's. Having trouble finding parts, any suggestions.

**lolife99** · 10-29-2011, 06:57 AM

Welcome to the board!
What kind of parts are you looking for?
Many C20 parts will interchange.

Thanks for the welcome! Have not utilized forums often and I am trying to get aquainted with the best ussage method.

I have the opportunity to purchase the chassis from a 1986 1 ton and ahve been told the rear end along with the frontend cradle with disc brakes will bolt onto my 1970 frame. Any ideas is this will work?

72freak · 10-29-2011, 07:26 AM

Other than emblems, rear end parts and some of the brake parts you should be able to get just about everything you need as the parts are interchangable with all other 67-72's.

**lolife99** · 10-29-2011, 06:58 AM

And,... we need more pics of your truck!

Is there a difference in the fender emblems for the different years? You might look at my pics to see if you have one. Thanks again & God Bless.

Does anyone know if the trim for the '68, '69 that runs low along the cab following the lines of the fender well will fit the '70?

OrangeCrush1970 · 11-16-2011, 07:33 PM

YES! C30's RULE!!!

72freak · 11-28-2011, 06:06 PM

C30's do rule! A little before and after of our last one. Racy would not really be the right word but....So TOUGH might!

**special-K** · 10-30-2011, 05:37 AM

Welcome to the site. Yes,the later a-frame assembly will swap in. The rear can be swapped with a 14-bolt,but the shock locations,and possibly the spring perched,will need relocating. You're in the right forum for 67-72 10-70 series trucks. There are just not as many 30+ trucks being fixed up,I guess.

bobs409 · 10-30-2011, 06:44 AM

That's a darn clean truck!

I'll give you a shout if I find any good C/30 emblems if you do the same for me. I need a Custom/30 emblem.

Thanks for the help, I'll keepmy eye out for the Custome/30 for you.

That is one LONG bed. Very nice looking truck. It will be great to see you bring here back to greatness.

The bed on it is a Ford bed, 12' long. The frame has been extended 2' in front of the axle. The end of the frame has been butchered right up to the rear spring hanger. The previous owner extended the frame with 4" channel iron (solid as a rock) but bolted on. I'll have to do some fabrication to clean thing up and to make it safe. It has a wood bed but I’m leaning on replacing it with metal and placing a wench at the front of the bed. I plan on replacing all the wood on the stake side with new oak. My plans are to add an accordion ramp onto the rear of the bed a so I can load our motorcycle and its trailer onto the bed (hence the wench) and pull a travel trailer. I wanted something pre computer and simple to work on. I’ve always loved the model (they were new when I graduated high school) and I am excited to complete the project.

That's a great project you've got there. Swapping the front suspension will make the truck much nicer to drive with the disc brakes.

By the way, while I support putting a wench on your bed...

You might find a winch more appropriate for dragging the heavy stuff up onto the truck.

Just hacking on you. Welcome to the board from another Texan.

lil hoodlum · 10-30-2011, 11:00 AM

Heck, I think I need to put a wench in my bed too!!!

Congrats on the new project! And welcome from North Texas!

I bet even with that fork lift, it was still a chore removing that flat bed. I noticed you even put a sheet of plywood to protect the rear of the cab.

Good luck!

Keith
