Re: I was warned.....
Glad to see you back into it. They are very hard to let go of. I think everyone on the board that has sold one, has gotten another one as the withdrawal was too much to deal with.

Re: I was warned.....
Glad to see you back.I have owned one or more of these trucks for the last 30 years.Sometimes it was just a project set back for a later date with absolutely nothing getting done to it.I,too am working on a very limited time/money budget.

Welcome back - glad to see you're in the '67 club again. That new one looks like the wheelbase is a little longer.

Re: I was warned.....
This one came with rare options I had never seen before. I first thought that the PO had modified it, but no, it came that way come to find out.

Re: I was warned.....
I think my 67 C20 may have that same rearend in it. Looks the same to me.
Only mine has a HD coil, instead of a leaf. Well and I only have 8 nuts and bolts back there..... Last edited by LiMiT44; 09-05-2009 at 03:55 PM. |

Re: I was warned.....
Ok someone educate me here. Why would the brake booster be like that? I just don't know what purpose that serves

Re: I was warned.....
It's out of the way is one reason.
I'm wondering if that isn't a heavier truck than a C-30 though. That's a serious truck as far as what it will haul. It would be interesting to learn it's history. Now, what are your plans for it? |

Re: I was warned.....
Like Mr48chev said, it out of the way. It is actually quite large. It is very common on the C40 thru C60, but I had never seen one on a C30 until I saw it here. Some of them even have a double booster.

Re: I was warned.....
As a kid I had a 63 chrysler new yorker and cleaned it all the time, that's all I knew how to do. Then I had a 63 International truck with a patina and bad steering. a 70 toyota corona that burned up, a 73 datsun, a 68 falcon, Fiat X-19, another 70 corona (mint), 78 VW bus complete with 360 degree rust, 84 schiroco with a leaky main bearing, 70 land cruiser with a cracked head, and a 60 corvair that my ex wife took in the divorce (and the dog, too). For 10 years I didn't have anything to turn a wrench on for fun. My 67 GMC was the best thing to happen in a long time. Even though it needs everything, I can't wait to get into it every morning. I go to sleep thinking about what I'm going to work on when I wake up. I told my wife I was going to fix it up and sell it so I can buy the Factory Five 65 coupe. Its going to have to wait. I have the truck and its not going anywhere.

Re: I was warned.....
back FLAT67! You make me jealous. I wish I had your new truck and $50,000, then I would have the fun of putting every penny into restoring that truck. As to feeling of remorse about selling your first truck. I thought about what would happen if I sold mine. It would be like having a close family member pass away. I would have a big hole in my life and why? Just to get some stupid money! Remember this motto: (Everyone bow their heads)
Life with a 67-72 Chevy truck and no money is far better than life with money and no 67-72 Chevy truck! Amen.

Re: I was warned.....
Glad you are back!! I have been racking my brain trying to get my 68 C-30 running correctly this week. (Frustrating), but you're post makes me want to jump right back into it and get it going again.

Re: I was warned.....
Is the option sticker still on the glove box door? Would be an interesting one to see.

Re: I was warned.....
my 56 c6500 had a similar hydrovac system, with that plus the 10 lug stuff and 6.17 that truck may have been a 40 or just flat out over built.
your original bed looks dead nuts like mine. |
