Brings up an interesting question.
On an episode of trucks, Stacy David was building a truck with hydraulic steering and stated that hydraulic steering is illegal for a street driven vehicle. Because of the potential of losing the hydraulics and thus losing complete steering. Power steering, if lost, still provides steering but at a greater difficulty.
Would this truck be legal to drive as it was a factory built vehicle or would it be Grandfathered since it was built prior to the law or not legal at all ?

Huh?

**special-K** · 04-15-2006, 08:11 AM

If it`s built that way,it`s legal.That law is for under 10,000GVW.
Is this a no-reserve auction?I don`t see "reserve not met".I want it!!

**Canadian694x4** · 04-15-2006, 01:29 PM

Man these trucks are comin out of the wood work now huh? I like the wheel base on this one most napco K50/60 seem to have a shorter wheel base.

Robert1970C20rstbukt · 04-15-2006, 03:20 PM

Whoa that's awesome! There were two other short wheelbase ones on eBay awhile back, one was a 68-72 GMC and the other was a 64-66 Chevy.

vtblazer · 04-15-2006, 06:05 PM

What a wicked tow vehicle/flatbed!

71swb4x4 · 04-15-2006, 06:10 PM

It has factory tow hooks

*72CSTC5* · 04-17-2006, 09:55 AM

That thing would look awesome towing my Blazer from show to show once it is restored. Somebody grab this thing and do its thing.

JAKES 68GMC · 04-17-2006, 10:12 AM

Cool. Bid is only 128 dollars now. I'd snag it for that price.

I notice that they aren't listed as equipement on the build sheet...and don't they come on all C-K 40/50/60's anyway?

*FormerMember* · 04-17-2006, 02:33 PM

I'll be bidding on it...

**Canadian694x4** · 04-17-2006, 02:36 PM

Thanks, I will.

I have a good flatbed and motor for it from a C30 that my dad bought new for his business in 1971. It's too bad the frame and cab rotted out...

I'll stay with the big block, but it will be a 427.

**Canadian694x4** · 04-17-2006, 02:54 PM

That sounds like a good plan!

**special-K** · 04-18-2006, 07:53 AM

I think hooks were standard.Good luck Grendel.I`d buy it for a wrecker if I could.

GM72K10 · 04-20-2006, 09:24 PM

3 hours 3 mins left, only $760.00

68gmcdually · 04-20-2006, 11:34 PM

Lot of truck for the money. I will be in that area with an empty hauler in October, too bad it wasn't up for auction closer to that time. GOOD LUCK!!

oscareltemblo · 04-21-2006, 12:02 AM
