Re: c30's lets see em flat beds,dumps or flat bed dumps.
A good friend of mines 71 C30 flat bed all original was a farm truck. Also looking to lower the truck, is it fine to just remove the rear block and have the leafs on the axle? Thanks.

Re: c30's lets see em flat beds,dumps or flat bed dumps.
These are all beautiful trucks. I have a preference for the working trucks though. It surprises me that these trucks can do what they do. The loads they handle seem like a bit much for the frames, but they do it.

Re: c30's lets see em flat beds,dumps or flat bed dumps.
My brother and I just after I got the conversion done, went out to the airport and filled his 300 gallon tank with AV gas (1800#) and you hardly knew it was there.

Re: c30's lets see em flat beds,dumps or flat bed dumps.
I have yet to use mine for anything more than moving a long block. I am still in awe of their capability. These 30's are like tug boats. I spent an inordinate amount of time beefing up my frame with additional cross-member and angle braces. It's rock solid but I guess they were fine as is.
