72 gmc c30 machine shed find
Just found a nice c30. This is like new fond I blemish on the grill found a couple marks on the paint I'm sure I can buff out. A few rock chips on the back of the cab corners. Rockers still even have the paint on them. One small crack on the steering wheel dash is like new. Interior is emasculate paint still shines.
No powers steering though. Wonder if the power steering box off a 1/2 ton would bolt right in other than that. A nice truck. It has split rims that are 18". Wonder if a guy can buy steel rims that would fit and still retain factory size. |

Re: 72 gmc c30 machine shed find
Super clean find! Nothing beats indoor storage. 19.5" solid dually type wheels off a disc brake step van ( bread type box van) are the ones to look for. The 19.5" tubeless tires are approx. the same diameter as the 18" tube type tire.

Re: 72 gmc c30 machine shed find
Great find, and congratulations to you on your new truck (I assume you pulled the trigger?).
More pictures, like under the hood, etc, would be great, and what are your plans for this truck?

Re: 72 gmc c30 machine shed find
I'll get more pics later the guy is going to keep the truck in the shed for me until spring. Don't want to drive it home in the winter until I can get a shed built to store it in.

Re: 72 gmc c30 machine shed find
Very nice find. It's cool that it's a 2-tone base model farm truck. I always called the white top a farmer's 2-tone.
That grille is the 68-70 style. I wonder what's up with that. As far as I know steering boxes are the same 1/2-1t

Re: 72 gmc c30 machine shed find
The pic isn't very good it has the black paint like my 72 just doesn't show in the pic I guess it's a bad angle shot whatever
