WTB 67 or 68 dump truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

71swb4x4 · 01-03-2009, 08:24 PM

I am looking for a dump truck again. I am being fairly picky; here is what I am looking for:

1st choice:
67-68 GMC or Chevy
Prefer steel dump bed, would rather not have a grain bed. Must by a one-ton or 3/4 ton (prefer one-ton). Must be a dually. Body condition not terribly important. Engine and trans not important. Location not important, but if it's far away it needs to run and drive well enough for me to drive it back to South Dakota. I have a trailer, so if it's within a days drive I will consider a non-running truck.

2nd Choice:
69-72 GMC
Same conditions as above

3rd Choice:
69-72 Chevy
Same conditions as above except this one must be fairly solid and look fairly nice.

I have been keeping an eye on the road, on craigslist and on Ebay but thought I would post this on here in case someone has seen something for sale near them.

Shawn, There was a 72 chevy on Kansas City CC, Dec 14th, he still has it I called him about another truck he has. Just thought I'd let you know, Randy

Thanks Randy, I just looked that one up. It's close to what I want, just not quite there. If I was a little more desperate I would probably think real hard about that one though.

Thanks Chris. You sure aren't making things easy for me. I really want to hold out for a 67 or 68 but you may break me down yet.

I believe I could load the C10 on the C30 and you could haul them both home!

My main hang up is the bed. This will be used 75% for landsacaping and 25% for dump runs. The bed you have would work fine for dump runs, but the landscaping would be a bit of a mess. Dirt would rather stick to wood than slide off it. It wouldn't be the end of the world to have a wood bed, but not ideal. We'll see what comes up in the next month or so. If I don't find anything with a nice steel bed, I will be giving you a call.
I could always buy yours and add a steel bed to it. Ahhh, too many decisions.

I am not trying to try to talk you into anything, but:
It would be a very short project to install steel sheet over the wood.
Because the wood is already braced and intact, the steel can be really thin, 1/16 would be plenty. Using 3 4x8 sheets would give 2 seams that could be welded and ground flush for a completely smooth floor. Tack it down around the edges and you are ready to go (and stake pockets still open).

Well, I guess I am trying to talk you into it
