New Member here with questions on 1970 C30.
Hey everyone.....just registered here, although I've been a reader for quite some time. Love the site and there are definitely some fine old trucks here !!
Anyway, I have a 1970 C30, with some neat features that I've never seen before. I'm told it's all OEM, so I hate to do anything to the truck that I had planned. It has a Rockwell rear end (A63-484) with a 5.83 gear. It also has a plate on the transmission with a PTO shaft, as well as a large reservoir under the passenger side that appears to have been for hydraulic fluid. It is a factory A/C cab and all pieces are still there.....it doesn't work, but it may just need charging up. The trans is a 4 sp manual with granny low.....in 4th gear this thing will only run about 50 MPH....LOL It's a 350 2 bbl that runs great, it's just geared LOW. It also has what appears to be a large drum type brake right behind the trans that the drive shaft attaches to.
If anyone knows about this truck and it's features, please enlighten me.....it's the only one I've ever seen like it !!
