68 C-30 wrecker questions

[qksilver]

Just bought a 68 wrecker close to home , cheap, complete and runs.
I checked out the spid and it had dual wheel conversion on it.
It has roof mounted clearance lights but they aren't hockey puck style, factory.
I was on the road as soon as the guy called me. I had been trying to get ahold of him since yesterday.
Of course I got there after dark and it was raining hard.
Bought it any way, just wondering about 68 C-30's in general , suggestions, advice
like can I use a complete 72 3/4 disc set up and just get dual rear wheel front rotors?
what differences from the 1/2 , 3/4 trucks to a 1-Ton.
How do i become a member of the 1_ton club?
LOL
Thanks,
Steve

Here's my 68 marker lights, they are on my sticker but someone on here said they aren't stock. Still trying to confirm that one...

I can't remember what the 68 came with...the hockey pucks were 69 and 70 only.

All new ground for me. Considering the rain and being dark, they look like yours MS.
i will post some pix when I pick it up this Sat.
I was going to post the link to the Craigs listing but he already removed it.
I was first to get there, ahead of over 30 people!
It will be the first truck i have bought older than 1975 that I will be able to drive home except for one. A nice change..........

Those lights were stock on trucks from 1960? till 1968, the hockey pucks were on 1969's and some 1970's like Longhorn Man said. I drove a 1967 Chevy c60 grain truck for awhile that had the chrome lights and I saw a 1968 C10 at the junkyard that had 'em, the lights were gone but they were listed on the glovebox. I found this light and a separate gasket and lens under the seat, it has Yankee 76 stamped in the housing. The lenses are a little faded with a white tint.

here is a little better pick of mine. There is a 68 wrecker in my town that is still in service. I need to sneak over and get some pics of it too. His hood is missing the H & V letters ...hmmm I just happen to have extra, sounds like a new friendship with a local mechanic is brewing!

My 67 and all the 73-77 trucks I have are like the ones pictured above. I have never owned one with the hockey puck lights.

For some reason I missed the 69-70 part of the hockey puck threads. I was curious.
I will have pix and better able to read the spid. It has full chrome on the cab and hood.
Does anybody know what the dually conversion option entails.
Thanks,
Steve

Just bought a '71 C-30, lights on cab look like those pictured in the threads.
