Re: Aren't these kinda rare?

I've never seen one. Lots of potential there.

Re: Aren't these kinda rare?

That steel crank is worth $$$...

And the cab could be put on a C10 chassis. Awkward yes.

Re: Aren't these kinda rare?

I would like to see that cab on a c-10 or 20 chassis. The crank should be the same for a 366, 396 or 427, right?

Re: Aren't these kinda rare?

Neat truck but I would not buy it for the engine.

There is no market for steel 427 cranks any more. Yes it is the same as a 396/402. I lugged a std-std 427 crank good number nitrided yada-yada around to swap meets for about 5 years. Finally gave it away for $100 I think at the Nashville AACA in 2014 just so I didn't have to carry it home again. You may find the occasional Corvette/Chevelle/Camaro restorer who needs one for a 66 to 69 but outside that you will hold it for a long time waiting for the big bucks. Nobody builds 427s any more. Everybody wants 454s or 502s-if they even want a BB at all.

Hey my father just built a full roller 427! He likes the big piston and short stroke!

Re: Aren't these kinda rare?

There will always be a vintage speed market. But that's a cool truck. Why are we talking about it's crankshaft? I'd build a motor home , car hauler, or toter home. The extra passenger space makes for a great rig

Re: Aren't these kinda rare?

That is too cool. I'd put a looong step bed on it and lose the duals for wide single wheels. ( I think they're called super singles. ) Just to be different, and cuz I like long steppers...

If I had the $$$ and the time, *I* would build a 427.

Re: Aren't these kinda rare?

I called the owner and am working on getting it bought. I'll have an awesome 427 with steel crank for sale if I get it.

I happen to know where one is. I'm almost thinking Longhorn with modified stepside fenders over the rear duals. I'm just hoping to get it first.

That's what I'm doing on the GMC, I really want a "tucked" dually but there's no highway gears for the HO72.

I think 4.10s with O/D is a great hiway ratio for a truck. And that way it's still good as a truck. That's what my '95 Suburban has. I think of thee GMT400s as being just as hiway capable as the new ones.

The truck has a 12 valve cummins installed, if it were a 350 I'd run it in a heartbeat!

Re: Aren't these kinda rare?

So others can see what we're talking about here without clicking the link first, and after the link quits working:

"1968 Chevy C-60 4 Door Truck, 427 motor, 5 speed trans, 2 speed rear end, 38,000 miles, make a good custom truck or whatever, runs and drives. $2500.00."

I like that truck a lot, that is so cool. I agree with the others here contemplating what it would look like with a modified long bed on it. That would be great! Runs and drives for $2500, that sounds like a deal. Too bad I have no room or budget for it (nor Gas money). Isn't that amazing how little rust it has on it? Look at that rear window!

I'd buy that thing in a heart beat! I'd 12valve it and find me a transfer case and front axle to slap under it, let it eat! Very cool find!

Re: Aren't these kinda rare?

That's one heck of a blind spot. It's cool. Too bad they didnt put a little time trying to design a rear door but that wasnt what these truck were about i figure. I have seen these down south never seen anything like this in Canada. Would be a cool truck to mod. So many possabilities with it.
