1972 C30 Ramp Truck

[nitrosport_5]

Picked This up on Friday Aug 8. Good running truck. Factory A/C. Has rust in cab corners, floorboard, and inner roof right below the cab lights.. guessing the lights leaked and water stood there. Seats in it are from a 70 Camaro/Trans am as far as i can tell. Its got air bags under the rear to help carry a load as well as an onboard water tank that i have not gotten time to really look at but currently does not work.

Ive always liked the look of old ramp trucks. I figured this would be a functional driver as i tinker with it and try and finish my frame off k20 build. Someday i would like to slap some paint on it and make it a real nice truck.

The first thing i did was get rid of the ramps sticking straight up in the back. cant stand it. They have an underbed storage spot but for some reason the last owner had them mounted like that. They dont even sit straight with eachother.

Next i plan to remove the buckets for a factory bench like it came with. I also have a tach dash to install as well.

In the center console there was paperwork from 2001 where an owner 2-3 people ago had a bunch of work done to it. New engine, rebuild rear end, rebuilt trans, new tires, new exhaust ect all done in Indianapolis Indiana. so im guessing he was preping the truck to make the long trec from Indiana to Washington. Still has the original protectoplate! This truck runs and drives like new. Just a little rough around the edges but that can all be fixed.
