The English are coming! Or..another C10 in the Motherland.

I've used that same pallet technique for moving and positioning heavy furniture before, by myself. Just takes patience so there aren't any injuries. Love your truck and build thread. And perhaps a bit tardy, but - Welcome to the forum!!!

Good luck on your testing.

Nice find! Yes, it appears to have been an Ex Dept. of Forestry truck (special order green with gray top). Does your truck still have the SPID (service parts indentification decal) inside of glove box? These decals list the factory options ordered. These trucks were usually ordered with 4 speed transmission, posi traction rear axle, 16" rims and heavy duty rear coil springs. There should be a "SPL" on the paint code on the "For Economical Transportation" trim tag on lower inside left kick panel to verify.

Thanks for the information, truck has a posi, as previously demonstrated, not sure on the SPID decal, will have a look, and the springs have been replaced with lowering coils from CCP.

Has a 4 speed and, what I am assuming is a very low, Numerically high rear axle ratio. Can pull away in 3rd with no trouble, 4.11 or maybe a 4.56 if there is such a thing.

Will look at the trim tag and report back.
