1968 C-30 dually longhorn mutt......Just about complete - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72freak · 09-17-2008, 02:34 PM

I put the replacement windshield in it and the tinted rear slider....WOW...that rear slider looks great with that dark wood in the bed! Now I can put the cowl seal and the wipers back on it, re-install the under dash AC and I will be done for now. Been driving the wheels off it.....all 6... working the quirks out of it. She gets a lot of looks. It can be had if anyone is interested.

mtdave2 · 09-17-2008, 02:42 PM

69long"n"low · 09-17-2008, 02:55 PM

That would make one he** of a tow machine

Sinister · 09-17-2008, 03:10 PM

That's a sharp ride.

MrBeast · 09-17-2008, 03:46 PM

That is a sharp ole truck.

70inline6 · 09-17-2008, 04:59 PM

It's not even real - it's a plastic model in a diarama.... Seriously sweet truck. Nice work.

JayDubBlazer · 09-17-2008, 05:07 PM

Do you plan on towing anything with it? I noticed the receiving hitch

72freak · 09-17-2008, 06:21 PM

If I keep it, it will be used to haul............I am putting a brake controller in it at some point real soon.

67_C-30 · 09-17-2008, 07:06 PM

Loving it man! ***wearing out my Right Click button!***

Red oak with 3 coats of black stain and 4 coats of clear. If you want black strips I would get the ones that come black. Mar-K has them.

<<<<<<Fellow Longhorn fan drooling all over his keyboard. I wish mine were that nice. That thing just looks brutal tho...looks like you could hook to the house and just jerk it off the foundation.

desertrat · 09-17-2008, 08:02 PM

Looking Good.
That first aerial picture does make it look like a model for a second.
I like it!

**Palf70Step** · 09-17-2008, 08:15 PM

First of all, Unbelievable Truck

I've never really liked the entire dullie idea, mainly because of the outward fenders, this is ingeneous! Great work

72freak · 01-18-2009, 08:41 AM

Its still for sale or trade folks!!!

hcaz095 · 09-18-2008, 08:16 AM

Amazing... I would have never guessed a 327 under the hood though...

Put a cummins 4bt and a brownie trans in and have a real wonder...at the same time, I probably wouldnt change anything on it for nostalgia sake.
