71 C30 Dually Questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

blazer72 · 01-25-2007, 08:32 PM

Hey guys, need some technical help. I'm trying to purchase a 71 C30 Dually rolling chassis. It needs to travel from WA to OK. Since I will be building from scratch, rather than driving all the way to WA, I'm looking into having just the rear end freight shipped. My question is: as far as the front ends are concerned, other than the coil springs, what else differs between the C10 and C30s. Also, as far as rear ends, are the housings the same? If so, I could just ship the axels and hubs. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks fellas.

in reality, I wouldn't bother with the 71 rear axle. Drums and shoes and brake cylinders are non-existant.
Get something newer.
