Saw a C-50 on the road - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Wow, what a beast of a truck.

I see them around pretty often being used as log trucks, lumber trucks, dump trucks...whatever. Lots around here too, actually I saw one for sale a few weeks ago.
The largest truck I've ever driven was a mid 80's C50. It had a 366 with a Holley 4bbl, what looked like factory headers, and a 4-speed, with a stake-side bed on it. It was awesome. I'm pretty sure it had hydroboost of the brakes, and it stopped better than my C10, or at least had much, much better pedal feel.
