67 napco c30

The truck will be getting restored but until some parts are located I'm using the Ole gal like she was made to be used. This is going to be my restoration thread but thought I'd post this one first. What are your thoughts? Dump bed flatbed or longhorn bed restoration? She's a beast with a snowplow

Re: 67 napco c30

I like it as is but a flat bed would look good too. It looks great working .

Re: 67 napco c30

I like the idea of a Longhorn bed, but I may be a bit biased (just look at my name) That's a really cool truck, anyway you go is going to look good.

Re: 67 napco c30

Don't see how you can go wrong with this cool truck. Even like the dump bed. If it was mine I would go flat bed...I think.

Re: 67 napco c30

ya have to ask yourself what you expect from it in the final outcome of the truck in the long run.
are ya gonna use it as a working truck.
are ya gonna restore it to be a show queen.
its definitly not a daily drive rig unless you have a very very short commute.

my opinion would be to only replace what it needs and preserve the rest.

it would be more funtional with a dump body on it though.

awesome truck i'm glad your here to share it with us.

Re: 67 napco c30

Very cool truck. I think either a dump bed or flatbed would look good.

Re: 67 napco c30

I think the high stance would look good with a slick low or med.-side dump bed. Or a period utility bed. B-)

Re: 67 napco c30

Lots and lots and lots and lots of flat beds. Be different and go with the dump bed.

Re: 67 napco c30

I'll vote for the dump box, lot of flat beds already.

If it was mine, I'd make it a wrecker, but that's me. It wasn't one of the options that you gave.

Re: 67 napco c30

Such a badass truck. Personally i like the dump or flat bed because it has a nice factory look. No matter what, original Napco K-30's are very cool. Enjoy it!
