Re: 1967 C-50 Dump truck Project
Nice dumper! Unless it’s been changed, it should be a 292, not a 235. An 90’s era NV4500 5 speed probably wouldn’t be a bad choice for the transmission either. You can add a PTO to those they are plentiful.

Re: 1967 C-50 Dump truck Project
67 C-30
Thanks! I wasn't sure which engine it had but was told a 235. I'll grab some photos later. I have thought about an NV4500. They are good transmissions. As a matter of fact I have a 67'C-20 factory dually that I am getting ready to install a 6.0L LS engine with a GM NV4500. |

Re: 1967 C-50 Dump truck Project
I had a C-50 wrecker years ago when I used to salvage cars/trucks. It was a very reliable old truck. Mine had the Midland power brake system, and was terribly hard to get parts for. I would recommend the hydroboost setup. I put one on my '67 C-30 when I put the diesel it in it, and it works great. You can see what I had to do to install it in my build thread below. It should be the same for your truck.
This was mine.

Re: 1967 C-50 Dump truck Project
Welcome to the board!
Look around your area for the old grain trucks for parts. They are plentiful and cheap here in Iowa so should be there too, in certain areas. I will move your thread to the "Heavy Haulers" forum where the C40,50,60 trucks are discussed. I edited your post and removed the WTB indication. You have to be a Premium member to post a WTB and it has to be posted in the classified forums. If you click on the word "Subscribe" in the menu bar above it will explain the different subscription options. Thanks, LockDoc

Re: 1967 C-50 Dump truck Project
LocDoc,
Yeah I noticed I couldn't post a WTB. Couldn't figure out why but figured since I let my Gold Vendor expire,That was the reason. Also every thing around here is rotted or the owner wont sell for a decent price. 67_C-30 Your issue with the Midland brake system is exactly why I planned on the hydroboost. I just found an 81' Top Kick with a hydroboost brake system,4-Wheel disc brakes,Eaton 6 speed,3116 Cat turbo diesel,and 22.5" hub pilot wheels. So I may go look at it next week. They want about $2500 for the truck. |
