1967 C30 Napco 4x4 questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

d21smith · 01-13-2016, 01:01 PM

I'm a newbie to the Napco conversions so any information is appreciated. Just found a 67 c30 Napco truck for sale not too far from me it's a 4 speed with 292 and power brakes has snowplow and dump bed still being used for winter. Has typical illinois rust but is solid. 4wd motor transmission are all good. Is there much desire for these? And how rare are they? Thank you for any guidance

They are rare I have only seen a few posted on here. I know where one is here in ontario but its pretty rotten. Its a neat truck but not somthing i would want to travel far in.

CrewCab59 · 01-13-2016, 01:28 PM

There are a few of us that have talked about this truck .I have talked to the different owners and have some history. I have photos if your wanting more info.

Thanks

Do tell lol...where would one catch a glimpse of this? I think these 1 ton napco's are neat!

flashed · 01-13-2016, 01:24 PM

That is a nice looking truck just begging to be restored .

hugger6933 · 01-13-2016, 01:29 PM

What kind of price are they wanting they are a pretty rare item. It is not something you might drive everyday, I think it is probably geared pretty low.

hugger6933 · 01-13-2016, 01:30 PM

With that being said i would love to add a 4x4 to my list of trucks to build. I have 5or 6 to work on I haven't counted them lately. Jim

Check out the NAPCO forum, although you have to join to access the forum. Good picture gallery as well.

Super rare and desirable do not always go hand in hand. With a 292 and 5.13 gears it isn't a "driver" in any sense. Nor is it the ideal tow truck chassis the current seller was thinking. If you want a pet or an around the ranch GP dump and plow then have at it.

This truck has been for sale for years off and on. Like Crewcab59 said, right at a year ago was the last time I looked into it for someone.

CrewCab59 · 01-13-2016, 08:28 PM

Engine pics.

**Grumpy old man** · 01-13-2016, 09:17 PM

OHHHHHH !! I want it if you don't !!! just what I've been looking for ...

Are you considering flipping it? If it's for you, the only question should be is do you have much desire for it? I love it. It's cream of the crop material in my book. I wanted to buy that last year (fall '14) when it was on Craigslist.

doo142 · 01-14-2016, 02:18 AM

I have made a deal on this truck and plan on picking it up Friday , I'll keep you posted. Special k I could not agree more!! RoadTrip!!!

68panelman · 01-14-2016, 08:41 AM

Glad you're getting it, I also wanted this truck a few years ago.
Don't forget massive amounts of pics please.

**special-K** · 01-14-2016, 09:25 AM

Way to go! I'm happy for you

Let me be the first to say, "If and when you should decide to sell this truck, I would appreciate it if you would please offer it to me first". I know, damn claim jumpers. Just had to make that official. I already know the reply, "Not sure you'll live that long, K"

midniteblues · 01-14-2016, 09:53 AM

the kid an i tried planing out the trip out there when this truck was first posted. neither of us are that adventureous to do it.

i saved the pick and used it as my background for a few months.

i wander how many of these napcos were built in 67....in other words there "could be a chance to find one closer to home"

that is one serious truck i'm glad the new owner is a member here to share it with us.

it seems in the past few years as these trucks have exploded in popularity the napcos are really being found and scooped up just glad they are being saved.

pretty sure i saw a early one on cl a few months ago with a swivel frame i think in az.

there is still a 58-9 in a shed just behind my house that hasnt been out in about 3 years.

jeremy zander · 01-14-2016, 10:07 AM

I tried yesterday as well to buy this trick...This guy was a super jerk..You must have called at a better time..I asked several questions he did not have answers for..He insisted several times that he would not do anything for free and that he was so geographic challenged that he did not know where Minneapolis,MN was..Good luck with the truck...

I will say our conversation started off rough but he has turned out super nice , Sent any pic I ask for and cut me a heck of a deal. I think everyone is sick of jerks and scams on cl that they are on edge. I'm getting the same way, you have to put up with 5 jerks to get 1 serious person.

you are 100% correct.
but i'm gonna its more like 9 to 1 with the scammers involved.

doo142 · 01-14-2016, 10:07 AM

Thanks guys!! I had it bought a half hour after finding it!! She needs a home. I'll keep you posted. Not only 516 gear but a no slip too. It'll be my new daily!! LOL

d21smith · 01-14-2016, 10:15 AM

Anyone care to expound upon that?

doo142 · 01-17-2016, 01:08 PM

It hard because I had big plans to chop it, bag it with a big C notch, go to 1/2 ton five lug, chop the frame to swb length with fake patina. Would have been cool!!! Lol ,this will give us something fun to talk about. Peace !!!

7oldno · 01-17-2016, 04:24 PM

OMG, grumpy old man said he was out because the op had thought about putting a longhorn bed on the truck. DOO if you were gonna CHOP, CUT, C-NOTCH, BAG, this truck then i am happy as hell you didn't get it. I like a lower stance on our trucks but to ruin a NAPCO by doing this makes me sick to my stomach!!!

To each their own i guess.
