New to me C30 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

WedgeIe · 02-02-2023, 08:42 PM

I picked up a 69 C30 last weekend and in the original config, it had interesting colors. Yellow exterior and green interior. It's currently white but I was wondering if anyone has seen that color combo before?

If y'all have picture of one, I'd love to see it!

Nice . And welcome to the board

BLAZERMAN · 02-02-2023, 09:58 PM

That's a good looking C/30 and some nice options!
Here's a few pics I saved of a 72 GMC that was light yellow with green interior and factory stake bed option. I would have liked to have seen that interior when it was new, I don't think it was as bad as it sounds.

Good looking truck!

Nice looking old flatbed. Flatbeds are just out n out handy to have around in my book.

**Getter-Done** · 02-02-2023, 11:43 PM

I like it.

WedgeIe · 02-03-2023, 02:24 PM

Nice pics Blazerman! Thanks! I was having trouble imagining what the combo would look like and the pics help. Not as bad as I thought.

I’ve been looking for a 69 C30 for a while and was glad to find it. Eventually I’ll swap the flatbed out. The one that’s on there has a big gap between the cab and I like the look of your aluminum bed. First, I need to get it road ready!

Nice score! CST with bucket seats, SWEET! I just snagged a 72 C/30 with the NP435 4-speed. I love driving the old stick manual transmissions...Heres a pic of mine,

Nice looking C30. I have had mine for 26 years. This what it looked like the day I drove it home. 49,000 miles.

Nice ride!
Unfortunately someone swapped the buckets with a bench seat. I’ll end up switching back someday! If I can find a set.

Unfortunately the rv was trashed from leaks and age, so I removed it and now it's cab and chassis and 4x4.

PaulJG · 02-03-2023, 08:46 PM

Yours looks nicer.
I have the same scribbles on my SPID..mileage, odometer in 76 and other unknown.
Longhorn bed then 4WD.
Cab lights..part of CS option?

Was the 4WD conversion difficult?

It must be or part of a chassis cab for commercial use.
