New addition- 1968 C-30 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

als70chevy4x4 · 05-02-2010, 05:36 PM

Hey everyone,been a few years since I posted on here but thought this was worth showing off.1968 C-30 157 inch wheelbase,327 engine,4speed.I'm the 3rd owner.Originally bought by an ironworks company in vancouver I'm told it was used for the foremans truck thus the low miles 56,xxx or so.A fella I went to school bought it off the guys widow.When he retired they gave him the truck.Thats the story anyways and i beleive it only because theres so little rust and everything is so tight on it.Tires,exhaust,brakes,seat have all been redone recently,327 pulls awesome,drives down the road unreal(hands off the wheel @ 60 mph and its like an arrow)Plans include repaint to original color,mount winch on the deck and enjoy!

Now that thing is COOL, what are your plans?

Duncan and son · 05-02-2010, 06:31 PM

My kind of truck " as it was not as you wish it was " I love it

dan42 · 05-02-2010, 06:57 PM

That's pretty cool - what's the rear end? 4.11's?

**68350** · 05-02-2010, 08:09 PM

Very nice! I know where a dark green 157" 68 c-30 is, and it also has a 327 4 speed.

Rob H. · 05-02-2010, 08:19 PM

Nice looking truck, I'd be tempted to put a dovetail on the bed and mount a winch and use for a car hauler.

chevy72pu · 05-02-2010, 09:49 PM

That is one clean ride.

factorystock · 05-02-2010, 10:36 PM

Very clean find! Are those 16" or 16.5" solid wheels?

Puyallup68C20 · 05-02-2010, 11:39 PM

Beautiful truck! Looks great as it is!

72BlckButy · 05-03-2010, 08:02 AM

Nice truck.. I love 1 tons.. & shortbeds..& blazers.. Oh my. John

**slomotion** · 05-07-2010, 05:12 PM

Cool truck!
Looks like someone already changed out the wheels to solid tubeless. How's your RPM on the highway?

Longhorn Man · 05-07-2010, 05:36 PM

that is awesome!
The rear should be 5.13, it came automaticly with the DRW option, as did the marker/ID lights on the roof, and working side markers.

als70chevy4x4 · 05-10-2010, 11:32 PM

sorry i took so long to answer.Not sure gear ratio,Andy seems to know all the 1 ton details.At 52mph its 3000rpm.Tires are 16 inch Toyos

als70chevy4x4 · 05-10-2010, 11:33 PM

Andy whats the DRW option?

DRW - dual rear wheels

abebummy26 · 10-24-2010, 10:08 PM

Really nice rig man definitely drool worthy.

**special-K** · 10-25-2010, 08:15 AM

It's not too common to see a trim package ordered on a DRW cab'n'chassis.That's a great find.Andy's right on the gear ratio with 4spd trans.A 4.10 unit from an automatic C/30 or C/20 can be dropped right in if you want a taller gear.
